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~~.

A '''Railgun''' is a very powerful electromagnetic projectile weapon. Therefore it deals mixed thermic-kinetic damage. It requires a large amount of power to use it and generates a large amount of heat in the process, compared to other weapons but can cause severe damage to the target.

Railguns are available as fixed mounted only weapons and they take about half a second to charge and fire followed by a 1.17 (C1) and 1.5 (C2) second cooldown, thus it can be very difficult to hit specific ship subsystems. However, ~~their~~ exceptional penetration allows ~~them~~ to hit subsystems even ~~if punching~~ through the ~~wrong~~ side of a hull in most cases. The effective damage of this weapon varies considerably based on shot placement~~, but generally they do high damage, either to a ship's subsystem or hull~~.

However, its exceptional penetration allows it to hit subsystems even when striking through the opposite side of a hull in most cases. The effective damage of this weapon varies considerably based on shot placement.

~~Spent ammunition must be replenished once used~~. ~~Any station equipped with~~ a ~~"Restock" 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~~. As of version 2.2, the "Plasma Slug" ~~effect~~ can be added to the weapon by ~~Engineers~~ as ~~a random roll when crafting, or "bought" at the expense of reputation with the Engineer with the "Adjust" option~~. A railgun with this effect does significantly less damage and draws a small but noticeable amount of fuel from the active reservoir to generate ammunition on demand rather than using the normal magazine.

Each shot costs 200 CR. The clip size is only a single shot, which takes 1s to reload. The total capacity is 80 shots which can be altered by enineering.

As of version 2.2, the "Plasma Slug" can be added to the weapon by engineers as an experimental effect. A railgun with this effect does significantly less damage and draws a small but noticeable amount of fuel from the active reservoir (22kg class 1, 25kg class 2) to generate ammunition on demand rather than using the normal magazine.

Damage begins to fall off at 1000m with a total range of 3000m.

Another vaiant is the [[Imperial Hammer|Imperial Hammer Railgun]].
