You guys do realise that the BS version should probably do more hull damage then the Nova torpedoe? :unsure: I mean a railgun accelerates a projectile to supersonic speeds, it'll punch a hole through pretty much anything upto and including a mountain. :blink:
As to the range, personally I think it should also have the greatest range cos it'll just keep going till it hits something, this is because it uses a solid dart or slug as the ammuntion.
Well thats my thoughts on the idea, it's good definately and I agree that we need some more turret weapons for cap-ships.
