[@EEE-pv2eo]

Send a camera with the projectile.

[@XyroNO]

Thats what I did with my design when I built this 4 years ago

[@mitthrawnuruodo3632]

A method i have i putting the camera on a small grid rotor head, and placing it so it is just above the projectile when it is fired. The accuracy is perfect.

[@XyroNO]

@@mitthrawnuruodo3632 I place my camera one block above where the torpedo would be welded together (right above the merge block/connector. This not only gives you pin point accuracy, but also allows you to see when the warhead is done being built (and when your blast doors are open). As my design I had, uses pistons on the welders/grinder. This keeps the most valuable part of the weapon safe from enemy fire and in case the torpedo deviates when it's launched (in case you want to fire it while moving), as this weapon becomes useless is the welders get destroyed...but having them in such close proximity to each other also allows them to repair one another. This whole ship build is a lot bigger than it has to be, but it puts a nice skin over the initial weapon. Fun fact, 3x3 I think was the biggest you could make the torps before a redesign of the welding mechanism is in order...I never went that far though.

[@timothybates8501]

Agreed. I made a pretty huge gravity railgun once which was underwhelming to say the least. With the max speed raised a bunch? The weapon became absolutely lethal - and by lethal, I mean it could punch into 20 layers of heavy armor. The total damage wasn't that high since it isn't like the damage spread out, it would be like stabbing a small hole deep into the hull, but there was no stopping it XD

[@irontemplar6222]

@@timothybates8501 Yeah with speed limit removed it becomes better, but unfortantly its really only useful for Station crushing since moving targets become impossible to hit, and I doubt you want this thing to be within sight of enemy capital ships.

Then it wouldn't be a railgun

[@phinix250]

@@ducki5373 Railguns can fire warheads, the US has a concept for a railgun artillery piece that fire HE over extreme distances. The railgun only refers to the initial propulsion method such as Chemical (i.e. gunpowder) or EM Coil (Coil guns) or railguns. It would also theoretically be possible to have rocket assisted Railguns IRL like we have rocket assisted shells for current chemical driven artillery pieces. whether or not these would be viable and effective is a different matter.

[@moguldamongrel3054]

Rocket assisted rail gun.... the rail gun shoots its projectiles faster then any rocket. More damage would be done from a tungsten rod fired at those velocities then any he fitted warhead....

[@MrHalonoob117]

Why not do both? Have smaller explosive projectiles that come off of a main one. So a large kinetic project surrounded by smaller explosive ones that detach.

[@Zappina]

No need. The kinetic energy is more than enough for an orbital bombardment as it would be assisted by the gravity of the planet. Making a railgun better though can be achieved by seperate the projectile into hundreds of fast moving smaller projectiles bombarding the target during mid flight. It wont be a megaton yield explosion but it would literally saturate a huge area, more larger than one projectile would do. It would also make aerial defenses useless.

[@Nothing-1w3]

If humans could build space railgun like this one it would be good for orbital bombardment

[@Aracnah]

Not in SE. These unguided projectiles are too slow to hit moving targets from a range where turrets wouldn´t be the better option. They do however work against stations and larger ships that are not moving. But you won´t get those in the scenario where this is an orbital defense weapon.

[@TheFrio937]

This is a long range tactical weapon it would suck in defense. This weapon pops in softens a large stationary target then its escorts move in while it flees.

[@williamstout6332]

Beautiful piece of art. Quick note on the rail gun projectile for someone who has spent too much time on player-created weapons. That explosion we see is merely the artificial mass blocks, which means the warhead isn't being used at all. Adding a sensor that trigger detonation at 2 meters, adding a sensor that arms it at 20, and subsequent settings, all can fix this problem and probably quadruple or more the power of the impact. I once created a ship that fired 9 of these type projectiles and had the speed in construction to send out a volley a second and obliterate a ship if two volleys hit it.

It's functional with a targeting script and a drill on the front end of the projectile. Artificial mass in the proj may also be a good idea.

[@brianjohnson5272]

To things a rail round can use. 1 a fuel cell at the head for an explosive detonation. 2. A proximity fuse so a close but miss will detonate for mild damage. 3. A camera on every 2-3 shot to correct aim.

The key to kinetic weapons in SE is either lots of mass and armour blocks, or warhead, but to make warheads work they need to be spaced away from any armoured head orcrlse they go non functional due to block damge/deformation before they can detonate.

[@TheRezro]

@@XyroNO Not my point here...

[@truereaper4572]

@@XyroNO I watched your video on your gravity weapon, but from what the video shows your projectiles leave much to be desired, especially when it comes to firing at heavier targets. About 2/3 of your projectile payload is towards the back, and out of range to do any damage with the warheads, so I would re-distribute your payload. Adding a larger armored tip to it would not only allow the projectile to penetrate deeper into the target before detonating, solving the payload problem, but it would also pierce even more armor due to the armored tip's remaining fragments being blasted/pushed through the target further when the payload explodes. Also, considering some other shell types... I would suggest making a solid shot projectile without Warheads that would be immune to turrets. you could also easily install a timer block on your projectiles to disable the artificial mass blocks on it after firing, making it immune to gravity shields. I would also suggest ditching the multi-barrel design in favor of a quick loading welder setup. I don't know if you still play much, but that's just some advice from a fellow gravity weapon enthusiast.

[@Aracnah]

This isn´t even a rail gun, but a coil gun / gauss gun. A railgun would mean that the projectile is accelerated by a sled.

But in time.. alot of time.. we can have a huge mega base with a faction under us dominating a planet. But its not like any other game. You will be doing engineering and welding most of the time in a hangar in a base just people hanging out listening to music smokin weed and stuff. Battles are rare but a big deal when they happen because some loses a year of work and the power shifts. So if you wanna get into it ya I recommend hitting me up. Otherwise when servers come out you will start building for a month after a month planning and get shredded by pirates and bad guy factions so knowing where to step will help you.

[@whitedawn2122]

So to explain how an actual rail gun works I’m going to use the preexisting railguns we have today as the thing I’m explaining A rail gun has 2 bars with high amounts of voltage going through them, about an entire power a suburb would use in a month, going through in a split second, coming from capacitors, the 2 bars are usually something highly conductive and heat resistant NOT ALUMINUM (but it will be used later). The round is a specially designed aluminum chunk that is shaped similarly to a U but has to be perfectly designed with machine precision (even a millimeter off is too big) and because of the shape of the aluminum and the voltage through it and the 2 bars it induces magnetic shiz and the aluminum quickly accelerates to high speeds (depends on the voltage) which generates heat via friction and probably also aero thermodynamics or whatever it’s called and that’s why there’s usually molten aluminum coming out with a chunk of superheated high speed aluminum that has mostly melted away. Despite the rails heat resistance they do have to be periodically replaced for the same reason (probably) that switches stop working after like a billion or so uses (the metal melts away somewhat due to electricity induced plasma arcs) Also good luck getting a power source that’s handheld for this Bethesda, your fallout railgun just doesn’t work and I know it doesn’t take fusion as it doesn’t need a fusion core to operate... Plz ignore any selling errors I made

[@ohilevoeauca789]

rotor displacement based guns seem to work better, you can make one with 21 timers if scripts are off but they can fire quicker and a higher damage is easier to achieve due to the lack of mass block requirement.
