To the original post: Frag cannons are close range weapons and they still have higher burst damage potential at their effective range, than railguns. Not to mention they can be engineered with special effects that aren't applicable for railguns. So these would see use regardless.
And cannons have the advantages of very low distributor draw and heat generation compared to railguns, plus they can be modified to deal explosive damage. And since cannon shells can breach hulls (unlike seeker missiles), then they can wreck internals pretty quickly. So again, there would be a place for them in a world with class 3 and 4 railguns.
