that a rl prototype railgun is more advanced than the supposed thousands years more advanced completed caldari tech
made by a futuristic race thats already moved beyond their origin planet ?...and yet...
the rl proto type.....PROTO TYPE...AS IN WORK IN PROGRESS is 1000 times better

ok so they had to remake it big deal not like they had to reinvent it and rediscover the ideas that it runs on or even rethink the power needed...technically all they had to do was remake an item not reinvent it...no i havnt read eve lore im not an eve player but logic tells me..that if they had it before it cant be as hard to remake than it would be if they never had it...which is where in rl we are currently..weve not prefected rails we just invented them...and yet ours is way more advanced anyways i undeerstand things cant be realistic for balancing reasons but i just thought it funny that a rl rail is so much better than any version of the rail to ever exist in dust.
also...i think its funny that a hand held sniper has more range than a mounted electro magnetic rail gun but hey its for balance right

the russians have a proto type rail thats the size of the mini rails in dust ...its stronger than the large rails in dust

How much DPS does it have, exactly?
lol its actually pretty rediculous...but if ccp wants a giant electro magnetic gun they should try to call it something other than a rail gun..as a rail gun isa real thing and it hurls a projectile at approaching 3 kilometers per second ..i dont think its possible for a railgun to have 300m range...its just not compatible witha hyper charged round that travels at approaching 3 kilometer per sec...and retains a majority of its kinetic energy

The colonists that came through the EvE gate weren't exactly einsteins. As with pretty much every lore/background story because the needs of the 4 races were different to that of earth, certain aspects of culture evolve differently. I mean the Gallante still PUBLICLY execute people as a form of entertainment. Here in Britain we stopped that in the 1800's yet this planet fairing race hasn't.
hmm well if the lore accounts for caladri managing to make that tech shoot a round that slow then kudos to ccp lol...caldari scientists must resemble earth pot heads ..but besides that
nothing about the different between sniper range and railgun range has anything to do with balance its laughably unrealistic...and if we wanna talk about in game realism and things being different because they have to be because well balance...then i guess we can expect sniper range to be nerfed under 300m ? as currently...if we say having a rail gun be balanced means it must have 300m range or under then is it not safe to assume the same is needed for hand held snipers..? if so i am really excited so see this nerf and the qq it creates

it actuallly does it puts out enormous ammounts of heat which is why the us navy putting them on ships is a good idea..as the heat will be dispersed into the sea...they also consume huge ammounts of power so much so that the power consumption was an issue...can you imagine how much electricity a gun like that must consume that it became an issue placing one on a ship...us naval vessels sometime have up to 4 nuclear reactors...but they must have found some solution as they are now being fitted...if not used....but stil the idea that a rl rail gun consumes so much energy that a naval vessel with 4 nuclear reactors maynot be able to support it right out of the box

Hell there is no guarantee the laws of physics that we know even work outside our galaxy, we can't prove it.
We have a fairly good idea that they do apply outside of our galaxy, we can observe natural forces through their effects on other celestial objects and most importantly light :)
^^ this saved me from responding well put
