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 they take 1.67 (C1) and 2 (C2) seconds to charge and fire, 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 either high damage to a ship's subsystem or hull.
Munitions
Spent ammunition must be replenished once used. Any station 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.

- Damage, DPS, and Thermal Load are all based upon the in-game display which is basically an "out of 10" scale thus the values for these sections should be assumed as approximations.
