I'm trying to tell Iron Wolf Saber about the GA Particle Cannons that used to be in the game in the E3 build and maybe even Replication, and he's just looking at the SDE and pulling a CCP "THE LOGS SHOW NOTHING" on me.
Anyone from Closed Beta still around who remembers those alternate railguns? Fired a tight, blue particle stream, had no splash damage, higher direct damage, green and curvy shape that made them look Gallente?

I do recall as well that they had much flashier effects back in the day for turrets.

Wait this particle cannon was energy projection? Not shell or slug based?

I definitely remember GA and CA railguns in ye olden days when the server was only open on weekends
GA railguns had the same outer housing model of the large blaster turret, with the railgun barrel we're familiar with sticking out
There were some differences between the gallente and caldari rails, I believe the gallente one used more powergrid, and differences in direct and splash damage like OP mentioned |

No - it was a hybrid thing. The colour of the blue trails weren't hugely dissimilar to the rail effects that we have today, but the models were distinctly Gallente and they were tagged 'GA'. The way in which they functioned (high RoF) also felt much more Gallente. Mobius brought this up earlier in DFG, you should be reading that chat.

Fine however it almost directly contradicts how I believe HAV turrets should work. Sure high Alpha is great but ) AoE is not right.
You should never fire a cannon the size of a building at something and have it fizzle out like and damp candle. Hell even Forges have solid looking impacts.

You mean the old rail variations that had stuff like better tracking speed or higher firepower at the cost of increased heat?
Bright is the opposite of dark! Who would have thought of that?!
