Hey, wecome to the boards. Yes, this should be posted somewhere else, but whatever, I can post the same thing no matter where you post this.
I don't know a ton about plugin making, but I do know that you are probably not going to be able to make this plugin the way you want to make it, the game engine simpy can't do things like have "racks." You are going to have to take a indirect route, like making an outfit that has the power of three 200mm railguns and is only 20 tons. You can't really make an outfit that grants three more outfits, at least, not very easily.
As to what you need to do:
Making the railguns turreted is very easy.
The rack part is either going to be hard, impossible, or else done in a very indirect and drawnout way.
Your third detail is just going to make things more complex. Start simple if you are having trouble with the first steps.
Finally, this is possible to do, you're just probably going to end up doing it in a way that will annoy you because of how much effort it takes. There isn't an easy way to do this, as in you can't click a checkbox for making an outfit a rack, and then type in how many of what outfit you want the rack to hold.
I hope this helps a little.
And kauthor, either try being more helpful than that, or else let the moderators tell him that when they move his topic. Telling him to put his topic somewhere else next time is pretty unhelpful if that's all you're going to say, kinda like how posting just to tell people to search was pretty rude and thus is now against the rules.
