Now I just need to try and convince John to give us Railgun Eagle Fleets.

4 times the price and 1/3 the dps as a t2 sentry drone Domi at 140km. What's not to love? ;)

That damn Ishukone color scheme  :P

Hmmm. Sniperthrons might actually do reasonable damage now... and ohgods.. the Rokh!!!
I might have to cross-train Rok into Caldari ships and shields... ARGH

Megathrons and Rokhs don't use medium railguns, which is what this change it about.

Is it known for certain that only mediums are being adjusted?  I've got the skills for T2 medium hybrids but have almost never used them, let alone larges, so I don't even know if they need 'fixing'... but yeah, so, do they?

This is a forum on steroids tbh. The rate at which content worth reading is being generated could get you pregnant.

Mediums are a level of crap matched only by medium beams. Larges are actually ok and probably won't be changed just now.

Just so I'm not misunderstanding you here:
You're advocating Sniperthrons and Rokhs with medium rails fitted because of this possible buff?

On another note the luminaries over at FHC are noting there is no doubling of the falloff as EFT and Eve show then differently as told by this
Quote from:  FHC
For example, a gun in eft with 5km optimal and 5km falloff would show in game as the falloff being within 10km, this doesn't magically double the falloff, just the optimal and falloff are displayed as added together in game.

That said it seems the effective DPS raise if numbers remain would be 41%.

Trading minions were dispatched to procure 'all the rails' but some knucklehead in Jita had bought all 3,000 for sale by the time I read the tweet yesterday and beat my associates to it.

So once upon a time, I won the T2 BPO lottery for  200mm railgun. I was too much of a noob to know how to claim it, and it disappeared into the ether when they stopped issuing BPOS...

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

If the Ferox actually becomes a viable thing, I shall be quite happy.

Its viable now. Blaster Ferox can be pretty nasty if you fit it right.

I confess having forgotten about that last night. But yeah. That one carry wave I totally had the wrong kit for. xD

Fuck Banshees. That is all.

This tread is now about Mass Effect III multiplayer.

Not really :lol:

For the topic at hand: FINALLY. I love Railguns as a concept but the in-game application sucks for most of my most used/beloved hulls. Hello Rail/Thorax/Deimos/Phobos/Vexor/Ishtar/All the rest how have you been, you are now viable and not the poor man's artillery-Rupture/Stabber/etc.
