![]() ![]() Hmmm i think something be broken here because i'm sure a Alu coil should be going ka-boof when that fires... And now that i look its only having a heat jump of Nine kelvin... Aluminum is extremely good at dissipating heat assuming you don't melt it. Especially with the quantity of "extra" aluminum you've surrounded the coils with. |

If anything I've found aluminum alloys to overheat the worst. |

Does this count as breaking physics?  |

 It was supposed to be a laser skiff equivalent... however it evolved in to something way more agressive, hence the name. The idea is the same as my larger ships: snipe the enemy's lasers, engines, then everything else, pound with railguns. Dodge like mad at the same time. If handled properly wins against much larger opossition, I consistently fly it against my laser frigate and gunship equivalents and win. The main damage dealer is this railgun. |

Modded materials truly are a thing of beauty. So are laserstars. When you combine them:  A 41.5% efficient 1 GW 77 nm laser, a 25.4% efficient 1.07 GW reactor, 3D-Graphene radiators and a launcher for counter-laser drones carrying a 95 t warhead. |

If anything I've found aluminum alloys to overheat the worst. What i was mainly posting that for was well i don't think that be working right from just the speed alone "9.69km/s" and the power curve is just a short milisecond dumping all of the power in the capistors though the coils, From a laymans perspective (Ie. Me) that says something be going bang in there or the system has bugs still xP |

So, I think I went insane with the new extruded turret. Why? Because I tried to make battleship practical again by shoving as many guns as possible into a 11 ton drone platform. The result, are battleship drone.  Gunfighter V is armed with 4 super long range 1 gram scatter railguns, 8 long range 1 gram sniper coilguns, 6 long range 10 gram sniper coilguns and 3 medium range flak autocannons.  Gunfighter VI is armed with 5 super long range 1 gram scatter railguns, 6 long range 10 gram scatter railguns and 3 long range 1 gram rapid sniper autocannons.  Gunfighter VII has 4 super long range 1 gram scatter railguns, 8 long range 5 gram sniper coilgun, 8 short range 10 gram autocannon and 6 short range flak autocannons.  Gunfighter VIII has 4 super long range 1 gram scatter railguns, 4 long range 25 gram sniper coilguns, and 2 short range nuclear howitzers. And of course, I made more than just four of these BECAUSE I'M NUT. Anyway, enjoy the dakka. |

Insufficient dakka. Add coilgun drone launchers. And by that I mean coilguns launching drones armed with coilguns. Continue chain until there is enough dakka. |

Quick question: Before the patch, modded materials allowed >100km/s coilguns. I'm assuming that's not a thing anymore. So, how should I build my new sandblasters?
