-Railguns are available as fixed mounted only weapons. Becuase of this it is extremely difficult to hit specific parts of a ship at close range. Let alone long distances. Depending on what part of the ship you hit it can range from doing 0% damage to 10-80% hull damage depending on the ship. The charge time of about 0.8 seconds contributes to the accuracy factor.
