I say it is a railgun, they say it is not.
I am lookin for completely irrefutable proof that it is in fact a railgun in the form of a DEV saying "Yes the FG is a railgun."
Dev Post that proves you are right Jaraiya
Have them scroll to the bottom. |

Dev Post that proves you are right JaraiyaHave them scroll to the bottom. you know the difference from a post and a blog. btw they generalized by how the damage counted unless you want to tell me that missiles work just like grenades and mercs just throw them out of their hands. all it proves is that its counted as same type of damage.
The chart is perfectly clear on this. Hybrid - Railgun (long range). So everything listed under ARE Railguns.
The Explosive doesn't say anything about missiles, guidance systems, or firing mechanism. It just says Explosive. |

That Is beyond my scope of specialty! 
Sounds interesting, Billi Gene should start up a thread. |

Billi Gene wrote:yes yes yes Rusty.. but lets clear up whether Rail guns need actual RAILS, to be classified as a rail gun! I like to be positive about the DEVs and the game as much as needed, but lets be frank...(puts on fake moustache)... the Forge Gun doesnt have the physical attributes to accurately fire a rail projectile. It lacks epeen inducing Length. If indeed the FG does possess rails that is. If it doesnt, then it is a Blaster. Which would match the item description. Rail guns afaik dont build a magnetic charge as the rail operate off of a current. Sure the charge up is to generate the Electrical charge to power the rail, but in no way does that translate into the forward armature locks into position, stabilizing the magnetic fieldlinksounds like a blaster to meeeee 
Touch+¬. You win this round with your trixy reasoning Billi, but I'll get you next time.
Throw in how weapon re-balancing has the projectiles behave differently from traditional rail technology and we can rename it a magnetic slingshot cannon.
Of course CCP has the ultimate response to all this. A Dev actually responded in a thread asking for reality to be kept far away from this game. |

The chart is perfectly clear on this. Hybrid - Railgun (long range). So everything listed under ARE Railguns. The Explosive doesn't say anything about missiles, guidance systems, or firing mechanism. It just says Explosive. so you agree that they generalized all the groups as to have less on the chart that's not needed. your not going to tell me the AR should fire like the plasma cannon are you? because calling the FG a rail is just that. the damage is the inflicted the same but the way it fires and works are not.
The question was, "can a Dev tell us if the Forge Gun is a Railgun?" The chart (posted by a Dev) shows it under a listed title that says Hybrid - Railgun (long range). Everything under that listing is therefor a Railgun as stated by CCP Remnant.
Weapon game play characteristics is a moot point. Unless there is another conversation going on that wasn't included in the OP. |

plasma- generalization (blasters/ cannons/ shotguns and TBA stuff) projectiles - generalizations (smgs/ HMG/ TBA stuff includes rifles its all) laser- generalizations(pulse and laser pointers or "beam") rail - generalization even thou you say its not (rifles/ forge/ TBA smg/rifle/pistols) explosives- completely generalizations( hand held/ gun launched/ missiles) you going to tell me shotguns/cannons work in the same way blasters? or HMGs work just like SMGs? or remote explosives track targets like missiles?
Why are you trying to change the discussion? At no point did I ever state that two weapons in the same category had to have the same game play characteristics.
A Moot Point: An issue regarded as potentially debatable, but no longer practically applicable. Although the idea may still be worth debating and exploring academically, and such discussion may be useful for addressing similar issues in the future, the idea has been rendered irrelevant for the present issue.
Hence why I said, "Weapon game play characteristics is a moot point." This "generalizations" tangent has nothing to do with the question in Post #1. Obviously there is some parallel debate you have going that I am not privy to.
Regardless Forge Guns are railguns by CCPs categorization. Nothing more nothing less. |
