EverKnoxx I have noticed the same, first making a railgun longer will increase range, but after a while the range will not grow anymore and you will run out of range once the railgun is too long. The only remedy is making the railgun shorter, or hoping that Walt will change the code.
EverKnoxx It is because the Railgun Range is based on where the Railgun starts, it makes i annoying but it also makes it fair because otherwise the gun becomes a ultimate super weapon that could rip through everything and would make it OP (although it would be amazing)
Inkless It is because the Railgun Range is based on where the Railgun starts
I'm not sure why people keep saying this, it's absolutely not true, the range starts from the tip of the railgun. If a really long railgun has a shorter range as measured from its tip than a shorter railgun then that's some sort of physics bug. Please post a ship file so I can check it out.
Walt
I quickly made this as example, making it even longer further increases the effect.
Put it in a fight (using battle helper) against this ugly test-ship:
You will notice the first railgun shot to not reach the test ship.
Walt idk, maybe if it gets too long the Railgun doesn't seem to understand, maybe its the velocity being so high it thinks its out of the gun before it actually is?
Inkless
Walt But how do you explain this using autofire?
Small rail test here:
Something is clearly wrong here.
Walt also thanks for sparing your free time for little old me walt....really apreciate it
Yes, the shot would have missed, but it should not stop here.
Inkless Maybe it is the speed indeed.
idk, but if my memory serves me right, was/is there a mod which increases weapon range utilising the radar room...or is that just me
EverKnoxx there is
kieffer5101 i was right...what is the mod o' kind sir
EverKnoxx This? https://forum.cosmoteer.net/d/6121-stackable-range-buff-for-weapons-sensor-relay-mod
Alpha YAAAAAAASSSS........thankyou
aannnd ship i used for my conculsion that i need a bigger range and a bigger gun i call it the mother of all guns...the daddy is bigger and has 5 rails...ooohhhh fancy.........havent built it yet
EverKnoxx Can you change the tag of this to 'tech support (no mods)', it will be much clearer that this is probably a bug.
Alpha will do my good sir
Can someone confirm this is a bug?
EverKnoxx There is a category outside of general discussion labelled "Tech Support (No Mods)"... You knew that, right?
EverKnoxx Great!
Undated_Abyss ...well...uuhhhh..oh look whats that in the sky changes post's tag
