Railguns seem like the perfect futuristic main cannon of a tank. Missiles are pretty weak right now, and blasters are very effective as main cannons (Surya gets a bonus from these). So it would balance the 2 in terms of usefulness. Also railguns seem appropriate for a Caldari tank. My dropship would definitely get mad for this request but I think it makes sense. Unless Caldari lore favors missiles, if so disregard this request. |

In eve lore gallante and caldari share the same origins, and alot of the same weapons systems.
Caldari is the race with the dedicated missle boats, they LOVE their missles and are unmatched in that department.
As much as i love the railgun and have it as the main weapon on my tank (long range AV suppression) i still wouldnt change the bonus on the sagaris as im extremly excited for the day that missles become viable because thats what i love about caldari ships/tanks along with their style. |

Damn that's lame. Missiles are for the brutes like the Minmatar LOL. So far I'm loving the Caldari for their classiness, both on suits and vehicles. IDK I feel like railgun match their looks pretty well, but let me guess...their Amarr right? I like Amarr too so maybe I'll wait for Amarr tanks to come out. |

Caldari use missiles as their weapon of choice and rail guns to a lesser extent.
I don't think CCP will change it just because missiles are weak. Soon they will get a buff and every thing will be good. |

Actually missles are shared by all races, but used most heavily by caldari.
Railguns and blasters are shared by caldari and gallante (same origins weapon styles)
Projectile weapons are the minmitar bread and butter (think gattling guns and cannonballs)
and lazers are the amaar |

They realy need two tanks for each race, one hybrid gallente platform, and a different weapon system, and one hybrid caldari platform, and one caldari missile platform. The bonus needs to be for a general weapon system, not just one spesific gun (if it is for gun, why no caldari boat with rail bonus)
Shield tanking, and armor tanking are differences enough, add to the change in mobility.
Ideally though missiles shouldn't suck so much,and be viable. |

Gallente prefer Blasters and Drones. Railguns are a tertiary and because they're so bad at their job (Artillery is better honestly) they're very seldom used.
Ever hear of an Arti-Myrm? Works wonders if done correctly. |

Yes the railguns fit the style of the caldari tank I was thinking about this too but glad you are suggesting it blasters go so well with gallente tanks so it would be a good balance 50 50 here and also
