Simply put,
A railgun is a fully automatic weapon.
The Gauss Cannon is NOT a fully automatic weapon.
Therefore it is NOT a railgun.
Cue the devs telling me I’m wrong and ‘No’.

Assault railgun - is automated weapon. Railgun is a class of weapons, same as rifle. You have assault rifles, combat ones, sniper etc etc. So Gauss is a railgun, just semi-auto in opposite to assault railgun which is full-auto.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railgun
Says nothing about having to be fully auto, rather it’s about the way the projectile is launched.
No shxt?
I was about to say. Railgun a aren’t close to automatic. Especially with the RoF of the weapons in-game. I’d go as far as to say that they should just change it to assault cannons and change Gauss to Railgun.
Either way. It’s impossible to launch 68 rounds a minute from it. When are these devs gonna learn ANYTHING?
Then again, it’s not exactly meant to be a realistic game.
Think about it. The concept of the game itself doesn’t make any sense what so ever.
(Especially given that there is no story what so ever)
The description of the Gauss cannon has not been changed since 0.7-0.8 era, so it still retains the “rail gun” class.
who cares?

Well. I like the “impossible” claims. And it is in fact POSSIBLE to launch 68 times in one minute from Gauss gun. You can easily check it for yourself.
How to do this?
prepare a countdown timer. Set it to 1 minute. If you want to be exact, set it to multiple minutes (x minutes)
equip Gauss gun on one of your FIGHTERS
read the RoF for this setup (mouse over the gauss gun - in my case it was 68 shots/minute)
undock with selected ships
simultaneously start the countdown and shoot your first shot
continue shooting (Gauss is semi-auto, you have to click fast to not include delay from your own actions, or you can just developed a rythm). You should be counting shots.
when countdown will reach 0, get the number of shots you fired, divide it by number of minutes on countdown
compare with the number from step 3)
if it is different by more than 2 shots per minute in case of one minute testing or 1 shot/minute if multiple minutes testing - please create a bug report.
Guys, our game is not based on real life. It has own laws of fictional universe.
Maybe launch another shitstorm about Singularity Cannon not soaking up enemies and instakill them? Because a singularity is a black hole… But it goes through them, actually it must be ‘Singularity’ Cannon or Bubbbbbbbbbblelauncher
Plasma is actually more heat than electromagnetic… Yet another score for science.
This game isn’t logic, we don’t even consume energy or ammo if we fire, realism is what you go for in Star Citizen, but not in Star Conflict.
If you wanna be realistic, all missiles should do both thermal and kinetic damage at the same time. Lasers could be more of a source of EM, but then again, they could also be thermal.
And how is there a “singularity cannon” and a “black-hole generator”??? XD

You sir are wrong. Its called Blue Balls this name should not change.

Blue Balls then…
A gauss cannon works on charging adjacent magnets inside a barrel to project an object at an accelerating speed.
An assault rifle relies on an automatic system to project ammunition.
If you wanna be realistic, none of this exists. Because none of this is real.

mmmm, actually no, Railguns and Gauss guns are quite real
Doomb0t, numbers are the same everywhere. Thanx for admitting you’ve developed nothing but xxxx.
