Damage Modifier3.03 x
Rate of fire8.13 s
Optimal Range43,200 m
Accuracy falloff21,600 m
Turret Tracking1.05
Powergrid Usage2,200 MWDescription
This large battleship-sized weapon packs quite a punch. 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 hybrid charge types: Antimatter, Iridium, Iron, Lead, Plutonium, Thorium, Tungsten, Uranium.
