I'm kind of learning some things while designing my first ship. I like it overall but it uses 6 8mm rail guns (mainly missiles for armament) and I have a few questions:
1. I see a lot of threads discussing Coil guns and their designs; are Coil guns better overall? I know you can design the payload to be launched by a coil gun so is that it?
2. I've adjusted the bore radius and mass of shot to get good accuracy. Seems though that when I go up against a ship with 8mm rail guns, they alway open up before mine and if I ignore range, they are more accurate. My pattern seems right but it's "spraying" behind, above or below the ship constantly. Is there a way to address this? Does it have to do with "homing" or another facing option? (Rail guns are bow mounted forward facing)
