drills arent always active on a assembled ship like they are on a minecart contraption which makes sense and is helpful in some ways but not all so naturally i tried using a minecart contraption on my ship... it doesnt stay at all id like a way to lock the rails so that the minecart stays on it reguardless of the ships orientation
#a way to keep minecart contraptions connected to your ship

You can always just rotate the drills with an SU source on your ship, no need to use minecart contraptions. Unless that's not what the problem is.

i have made that work in several situations but it wont work in all of the things i want to try one of them is making a giant arrow with the head being drills which i can then launch it would be small compared to ships so no room for engines or anything to power them if i ever get into making mechs having a sword would be a must have as well which isnt really possible if im having to power the entire thing also something i realized in testing is right now the minecart contraptions dont keep orientation either which is annoying minecarts as a whole are part of a lot of builds and a way to lock them to either a entire railway or even to a individual position when moving around would be very helpful

ohhh I see
well I suppose you could either wait for the kinetic spring to come out or you could try to fit a combustion engine since they have internal fuel storage

not enough storage for the usage i want to get out of it but what is this kinetic spring?
