Class 3 & 4 Rail Gun with less Thermal load and more Ammunitions
- Thread starter coca_fr

Already in-game. It's called engineering.
Judging by how missiles work, Class 3 for Rails might have only increased ammo.
I always imagine a huge railgun as being a massive powerhog, emptying a size 8 standard and a size 7 engineered distributor in one shot and spiking the ship to 120 heat, but also hitting like a truck. That thing would only be usable on the big 3 ships, FdL and Mamba shouldn't be able to power it.
This topic keeps coming up... we'd really need a FAQ here...
Long story short: FD experimented with railguns of higher class many years ago. They found no satisfying way for them. Due to the way the weapon works, they either felt lackluster for a weapon of that size, or was overpowered.
There was just no way to tune them in a satisfactory way. Due to their unique performance i can very much believe that. In the end, ED has bigger fish to fry, especially in its current state.
