ok, the new update is up, and qswitched finally fixed the coil guns, yay, but now I can exactly point out what I didn't get the first time I tinkered with coil guns in the past versions, namely:
how does staging work, and why does adding more stages doesn't double (or nearly) the projectile energy, I get that a doubling in projectile energy wouldn't double the speed, but all adding new stages does is accelerate the projectile slower so it won't fragment from the acceleration, so my question is:
if adding a second stage, costs a new barrel segment, a new capacitor and twice the total energy put in, why does it halve the maximum acceleration during the said stage?
edit: I forgot to show the gun't projectile speed, but in both cases it was the same.
