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.

          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.

              Yes, the shot would have missed, but it should not stop here.

                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?

                  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

                  But how do you explain this using autofire?

                  Something is clearly wrong here.

                        EverKnoxx there is

                          Inkless Maybe it is the speed indeed.

                                          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.

                                              5 days later

                                              Can someone confirm this is a bug?

                                                Alpha will do my good sir

                                                  EverKnoxx changed the title to tech support (no mods).

                                                    There is a category outside of general discussion labelled "Tech Support (No Mods)"... You knew that, right?

                                                      EverKnoxx Great!
