Stabilized Railgun balancing

greetings,

 

todays topic is the stabilized railgun. we are starting with a short introduction of the weapon itself and continue with the balancing suggestions.

 

the stabilized railgun is a slow firing, longrange railgun which features high projectile speed and medium damage. continious fire will overheat

 

the weapon aswell as increase the spread of the projectiles trajectory.

 

(balancing based on the t2mk2 stabilized railgun)

 

pros:

  • high speed
  • high range

cons:

  • inferior damage compared to the hail plasma cannon
  • low rate of fire compared to the competetive models
  • overtime poor accuracy

 

idea:

  • increase base damage from ~270 to ~ 300
  • lower the time to fully recover from spread while shooting

reason:

the weapon itself is good for interceptor hunting and giving fire support yet it doesn’t deal suffiecent damage to make up for the slow ROF and the high spread over time

 

what do you think about the stab. railgun?

I do agree, i like the idea of the gun, but it is stupid to not take a hail plasma that can be charged for extra boom and is a natural shield breaker.
