Damage Modifier4.17 x
Rate of fire5.83 s
Optimal Range25,920 m
Accuracy falloff10,800 m
Turret Tracking5.9
Powergrid Usage208 MWDescription
Cruiser-sized large barrel turret. Railguns use magnetic rails to fire solid chunks of matter at hypersonic speed. The accurate range of railguns is very good, but due to technical limitations it cannot use onboard guidance. This results in a fairly rapid drop in accuracy at extreme ranges.
Requires either regular or advanced hybrid charge types: Antimatter, Iridium, Iron, Lead, Plutonium, Thorium, Tungsten, Uranium, Javelin, Spike.
