Dreadnought Weaponry Experiment #4

Rheinland has the best human capital ship weapons. This weapon is widespread and used practically everywhere. Except, i have never seen any derived work from them.

Internal systems and schematics showed the gun's age. No wonder nobody really cared to derive a similiar gun from it. It took many days and nights until i was able to reverse-engineer the gun and apply modern technology. Which in turn made the gun much smaller and agile.

Projectile lifetime was still meh,.. same, bad. Addiang MOX powder into the recombination chamber proved to change the properties of the plasma projectile. Resonance frequency of the chamber was fine-tuned to use as least energy as possible, which caused projectile's shape to change into a spearhead, while increasing destructive power.

The problem with weapon's range was identified as poorly chosen materials for gun's barrel. More agile and longer barrel from Hellbore was implemented and scaled to the weapon correctly. Due to it's size, it was reclassified to class 9 turret.

Increasing speed would only cause energy draw similar to Gales, therefore i didn't touch it.

*Trials will take place after safety checks.

Side note: Rheinland engine on Ranseur would be fun, haha.
