Capital Rail Gun AKA "The Barn Buster"
ref: https://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/3/31875
I negged that thread last year. I'd like to revisit this. Instead as a charged cannon, it would be a Rail Gun, but its damaage would work like rep guns do. Based on the style shot of the conc rail gun. Probably manufactureable. Designed to hit the broad side of a barn. (And not much else). Single full power shot is not enough to deshield a dent but a Goliath is vulnerable. A pair a Goliaths armed with these can hunt tridents.

Add that you must have either some number of PKs or, even more preferrably, a positive duel rating, and I'd say aye to this. a 1200 or higher duel rating sound good?

This is not a light ship pvp weapon. Thus not a reward for pks. This is an offensive capital weapon for cap ship to cap ship warfare. Thus it is manufacturerable like the conc rail.

As far as I know, weapons do not have a "range" value, but rather a "duration" value, making the range dependent on actual velocity (projectile velocity + ship velocity)

Thanks Faille. Change made.

Some impact concussion would be a nice addtition

Very well, good point. +1.

2000 DR and 5K PK's+

Blaqk, did you not see His responce to when i said essentially the same thing?

A pair of Goliaths can already hunt a Trident quite capably with Megaposis.

Those don't require ditching all of your turret weapons (grid) and put out more damage for securing the kill once the target has been deshielded.
