Railguns are 'fine'. Get Better.
Kill 1 and 7 more come right back.
Makes you wonder if tankers are like zombies.
Although, that would explain a lot.

I think damage mods are the real problem.

Decrease the heat sink by a good 2 shots, and reduce damage mod bonuses by about 5%.
Add fall-off damage to prevent redline abuse.
Profit.

Nope, the alpha damage is way too high. My Derpship has about 3600 HP and a Standard Railgun does 1450 Damage. Add proficiency and you're ******.
Err not quite.
Proficiency skill on turrets only increases the rotation speed on the turrets. Not increase how much damage it does.
Though, I think Alldin Kan made a thread about how damage mods were broken. Too bad I forgot to put it in my favorites.
While railguns are a bit broken, keep in mind that they are supposed to demolish vehicles.

Well then they far excel their job.
That's the point.
Everything is supposed to exceed amazingly at what it does best, but failing in other areas to create an equal compromise, while also creating proper counter-play.
This is how a niche should perform.

Where exactly do railguns fail?
Railguns are at an extreme disadvantage against infantry, just like other forms of AV.

I'd be more worried about Minmatar Artillery Cannons...
OR Amarrian Beam Laser turret's shooting one consistent beam at the dropship. Look how long it took for us to get racial heavies and scouts, you really think CCP will get us that stuff any time soon? 
They always get stuff in SoonGäó

Railguns are at an extreme disadvantage against infantry, just like other forms of AV. I can still go a good 10-0 vs. Infantry, a good game and some tank destructions 16-20/0
I've also gone 16/2 with nothing but a Swarm a few months ago.
I didn't say it was impossible, but you'd be a fool to disagree that they are at a disadvantage in terms of killing infantry; especially when compared to 80GJ Blasters.

Railguns are at an extreme disadvantage against infantry, just like other forms of AV. Not really a problem when you're sitting in the redline.
That's why we need fall-off damage.
If you realize that your bullets aren't doing damage, how long would it be before you stop firing at nothing and get out the redline?
I'd say 175m is perfect for the Railgun. After that, you do reduced damage similar to the effective and optimal ranges on infantry weapons.

I highly doubt that there will ever be ADV and PRO hulls.
If CCP ever adds anymore hulls; it will most likely be specialized hulls like pre 1.7's Enforcers were.
