Change to railguns

Would be a really good Idea, just like the Guss Rifle(spelling?) From mechwarrior. It had a huge range massive damage output and extremely slow refire rate. Plus the ammo was very large. but in FL terms we could curve the weight to price.

Malak's reference to Mechwarrior is a good example, if you've every played it. The gauss rifle and MAC gun from Halo and MechAssault work by magnetically accelerating an incredibly dense piece of magnetic metal to a fraction of light speed. When it impacts an object the force spreads over it while he round continues penetrating the target, ripping it apart or causing significant structural damage. Shields do a good job of weakening the impact's force, though. For Disco this means you have a missile that moves at maximum programable velocity with no turn rate, extremely low refire, and heavy structural damage. As for scale, they can be mounted on anything from battleships to fighters with torpedo hardpoints, with damage based on projectile size.
