Community Event / Creation New Movie - 5 Railguns and a Fer De Lance

Loved the Movie - love the titles - love the music - love the Railguns
but
not the Rammin'

I can't bring myself to do that to my ship.
I think that ramming is a suicide move and should always result in destruction of both ships, if they are anywhere near equal mass. (given enough velocity)

Nice production values. How about some PvP five rail vids in the next one?

Well, this was more just for fun. Actually 5 railguns on the ferdie is terrible.. lol.. AWESOME for taking down shields, but to be honest, I found them USELESS against hulls. I fired 4 salvos at a shieldless adder and it still didnt die. But they are great for taking out modules.

I probably would have a large beam or pulse weapon and 4 railguns for PVP. I just really havent had time to play much PVP lately..

Did they change anything in 1.4 related to railguns? In 1.3 I had lots of fun with my DBS and 4 rails and no problems with hull.

1.4 made it so Railguns, on impact, draw a line through the ship to check if there are any modules along their trajectory and then they deal their damage to those. Essentially, they penetrate armor of any depth (at least, that was my takeaway from the patch notes).

Turning them basically useless against hull? Hm, bad. I would end up with a ship that has 0% power plant and no way to kill it unless I keep shooting at the pp and hope it would go boom.

Guess it's time for railgun and pa DBS.

No, they're not useless, but you do need to be aware of the angle you fire at an enemy at. If you don't intersect a module you deal full hull damage. They do seem tailor made for tearing up medium sized ships, though (and, of course, subsystems). The smaller the ship, the more likely it is to be densely packed with modules, and the more likely it becomes you'll hit them.

Nice video JJones - very professional with good cut scenes.

The results though were as expected - the rail gun has too little ammo and produces too much heat to use permanently in that configuration.

Fun to watch though :)

It's too bad the FdL's Capacitor can't handle all 5 Plasma Accelerators...

Last time I tried it for kicks, I found out it's barely enough to fire 4x C2. The C4 stays unable to fire.
Still works fine though with 1x C4 and 2x C2, which turned out a fairly nice way to go hunting big game in a HazRES while having a nice tight firing pattern :D

This video reminds me of some action commercial :D


At some point, I want to challenge jones for a duel.

It was really weird, the other day I came out of my local station in my type 6 Brick, and I saw a python and anaconda just sitting outside, and I get a message. We've seen you on you tube jones. whilst deploying weapons.. I said to myself NOPE.. turned around and went back into the station.. lol

But sure, if you would like a duel, im up for a bit of fun. Most likely get my butt kicked, but what the hell. ;)

Yeah, rails are good only for one thing.. A single PVP round 1 on 1... after that you have to go and re-arm.. Im going to load up on 3 plasma accelerators and multicanons next.. just for giggles.
