So, I made a coilgun that fires a 133 kg flak missile at 10 km/s. missile has 2 km/s dV, and 7 1kg DU flak bombs. It can one-shot most stock ships at 200km. Damage:     |

DU is expensive asf. I suggest osmium or iridium flakbombs.

At that level of cost (133kg?!?!) you might as well fire nukes. With actual detonators and stuff.

I'm only using 7 kg DU per shot, the expense rather negligible, though I will look into replacing with osmium or iridium.

Platinum is also an interesting option, because it's strangely cheap.

Looks like you should pair the setup with a 1 million meter 1kw laser designator ; )

You...
You used iridium as armor for the missile.
You do know you could have used silica gel in weight and basically make a missile that's near immune to laser fire, right?

These missiles give exactly zero fucks about stock lasers. They're moving so fast that even the stock laser boats can't touch them before impact. The iridium is just to make it hit harder But now that you mention it, I could make it lighter and just add an iridium plate in the center with only prophylactic aerogel overmolded.... |

you need better missiles man... that thing has a pretty useless payload for its mass looks like your main issue is that missiles engine, its a total piece of **** I mean look at my missiles, its got 3x the payload mass in at half the price and double the armour also large potassium disks are the best flack if you want high mass particles to penetrate stuff with  |
