I'm interested in the viability of heavier projectiles, things that fire something a little heftier than the current meta sandcasters, and maybe do better vs most armor. Can anyone make a competitive weapon that fires heavier projectiles?
~Create a railgun or coilgun (or a conventional cannon, entered in its own category) module that fires at minimum a 25 gram projectile.
~Be within the requirements for you category
~No aerogel barrel armor. I find this makes weapons exceedingly fragile and easily sniped by lasers.
I'll update the OP with leaderboards (If anyone enters the challenge). Screenshots will help me update a lot faster, but workshop links are nice. You can enter in each category.
Winner is the one with the highest accuracy range at a (1m) small target.
If two weapons have equal accuracy vs a small target, the weapon that fires a larger projectile will place first.
If two weapons have equal projectiles, then the cheaper design will place first.
If two weapons are still equal after all that, then the lighter design will place first.
