You only need two rails for a single rail gun, and they shouldn't be magnetic.

I MEANT IN HYPERSPACE*FACEPALMS*

[Cheese]

electromagnetic*

indeed

[kevinz000]

......................wow*facepalms 10 times* how do we get that in subspace?

[toxic_intruder]

some lvz magic, a bunch of warps, and a permaturret

[Avast]

If you make me a space cave for a troll. I will sit in it, and be like a Monster Boss on the Pub map, and everyone who fly's by will get trolled. Oh you could close the cave, and it's like a mission to open the doors, to get the item level ups inside, and they have to defeat me.

 

They actually have a gun that uses Light. I think it's in the US Navy. It heats up anything and destroys it from pretty great distances. It combines 4 Light beams into one. Or heat beams? Not sure. Since it's completely invisible when it fires. It's only in the navy because they use the ocean to pump water to cool it down. It's also pretty huge.

[toxic_intruder]

avast its probably low infrared (aka heat), and most likely a laser since its easier to focus them over distances

 

something like this thing, except bigger:

I figured anyone interested could look it up themselves, but here is a link.

It's called Raytheon and its a combination of 6 solid state lasers at 32 kilowatts.

toxic is the only one who posted something useful about railguns,spider do you think its possible?

[spidernl]

Sure, railguns are on my to-do list after walking terminator robots, fighter drones, carrier ships and planetary invasions.

[kevinz000]

just yes or no?

[Avast]

A rail-gun would basically be a Thor with different graphics. Maybe a lasting projectile tail effect. I think the game Infantry, or some subspace zone had something similar.

 

Personally I like Everspaces Warp drive feature. But doubt you can use it, or make your own, or would want to.

Stealing Everspace's gameplay mechanics is not on my to-do list.

 

You seem to think that a 'thor with different graphics' (alongside existing thors) and a 'lasting projectile tail effect' are even possible.

[kevinz000]

everspace has that?

[toxic_intruder]

What?? I said something useful?

[kevinz000]

bouncing positron gun style l4 gun plz

[noldec]

bouncing positron gun style l4 gun plz

 

I've been sticking to there-will-only-be-one-unique-l4-gun for a while now, and that's unlikely to change.

[kevinz000]

awwwwwwwwwww

 

also reson too undernerfed

makes my ship slow as a snail

[Samapico]

Also, if you use a thor for a railgun, it's not a railgun cause it will still have the thor's huge blast area. Unless you can spawn thors with less prox than usual, but I don't think you can do that... if you could, you'd just fire a bunch of them in a straight line. But they'd have the thor graphic, and it would be ugly.

dot-dot-dot

also

 

 

simple railgun
bouncing l1 rapid fire railgun like gun
6k exp
bulletdelay=little more then shredder
bulletlevel:1
bullet energy=shredder
bounce:1
sig
60k money

[toxic_intruder]

Iirc rail find are slow to reload by nature, unless they have some genius loading mechanism, and that many uranium pellets. Also, op item is op

[kevinz000]

just get a new gun

gattler

signature

fires many bullets per second but very inacurate,bullets spread apart(uses extra weapon but extraweapon's bullets spread out so it makes it inacurate)

bouncing l2 bullets(or no bounce?)

shredder's delay

acuracey.........from the orginal firing line to 5 degrees from it

bullet energy..........100

extra bullets............10-20

extra bulletdelay=shredder

original bulletdelay=enough time for extra weapon to fire all bullets

[spidernl]

I gotta admit, inaccurate bullets are actually somewhat interesting.

[Corey]

Why do we need another railgun? We already have Gigajoulerailgun.

On a side note, wouldn't it be possible to actually make a rail gun with the extra weapon?

[spidernl]

A railgun is an entirely electrical gun that accelerates a conductive projectile along a pair of metal rails using the same principles as the homopolar motor. Railguns use two sliding or rolling contacts^[1] that permit a large electric current to pass through the projectile. This current interacts with the strong magnetic fields generated by the rails and this accelerates the projectile. Particular characteristics are the lack of propellant (only the projectile and the electrical energy to launch it are required to be expended) and the ability to launch projectiles much faster than firearms-based technology allows.

 

How exactly does that have anything to do with 'extraweapon'?
