{{quote|Railguns require the trigger to be held to charge the weapon before firing. The weapon will fire automatically when the charge is complete, but fail to fire if the trigger is released early. Rail slugs are effective at ship hull penetration.|In-Game Description}}

A Railgun is a very powerful electromagnetic projectile weapon. It requires a large amount of power to use it, compared to other weapons, but can cause a devastating amount of damage to the target. This weapon has a high heat signature when used.

Railguns are available as fixed mounted only weapons and thus it can be very difficult to hit specific ship subsystems. This weapon's damage can range considerably from 0 to 80% damage to the target ship's hull depending on the target ship type. It takes about an eighth of a second to charge and fire which can adversely affect the accuracy.

==Munitions==
Spent ammunition must be replenished once used. Any station is equipped with a "Re-arm" service will be able to replenish ammunition. Once docked at the station, ammunition can be purchased from the Munitions menu in the Starport Services.

Each shot costs 200 CR per unit.
