Yeah, because we actually have rail/coil/gauss guns and they are a cool weapon for the sci-fi fans. Although, i'd say not very practical because of the power requirements and size. But maybe in in the future, so its fun to bs about them on sci-fi games. The other things are far to complicated to bs about and just leave it as a sci-fi mystery that could exist in the distant future until someone proves that they can't. I love reading about wormholes, but don't know nearly enough about it to talk about them... Besides what I have heard many times over. It could take the power production of every sun in the universe to make one. Something about negative energy, beats me, I have no clue. |

It is just it doesn't seem to be BS it seems like people are trying to figure it out or come down on CCP for not being accurate on these things. Physics allows for all of these things so they are indeed possible.

The op point is valid if the numbers are muzzle ke because a shot from that would kill anything in one shot when compared to the other weapons we have. Plus the visuals and sounds would be a gross understatement. Although, since nothing is said about it in the description, i'll just assume its the energy stored in the capacitor banks.
Yeah, your right, it's right at the limits of being something no one cares about and something being something ppl can bs or complain about. It's just bs'ing with numbers instead of words.
It will be a fun time if we ever get the full range of eve ammo types. Then i'd say, sure leave the railgun at 80Gj muzzle because there are things like anti-matter bullets also coming your way and the difference between dmg wont seem that great and i'll just think we must have awesome shields and armor. But i'd be crusading for visuals to match what imagine. |

Ok il sort this out....
Because of nanites and quantum.
The projectile is incredibly-dense-ium made through nanites playing with lots of things at the molecular level. this causes some whacky stuff at the quantum level (like warp drives on eve ships) that causes a type of friction with real space. this explains all your problems and it you cant see that then your not a new eden scientist! |

So they are 80 GJ railguns
that is 80,000,000,000 J
Work equals change in energy
Good thread VicBoss. Plus one. Not to be a wet blanket here but is that 80GJ the energy put into the projectile or the energy used in the system to then move said projectile. If the later the amount would be less than 80 GJ. Probably significantly so. Obviously the only way to be sure is for us all to get together with a railgun and experiment. That and rig a grill above the wire coils so we can grill up some Mongolian barbecue.
I'm guessing energy used in the system. There has to be some transformers in there somewhere to run the computer hardware and targeting systems. And remember they have inertial dampeners from when they get dropped on the battlefield, motors for the turrets to pivot etc etc etc.

You can actually put the formula to the railgun though. Mini worm holes? sure sounds fine to me in the grand scheme of things, however the work on the railgun is known, it is not some abstract made up thing, Railguns are real and the work value is real so it can actually be calculated. And again don't care if CCP changes anything but i just HAD to actually calculate the velocity because as soon as i saw the 80GJ i knew something was a little off.

The previous build seemed to have much fewer paranoid people, who would actually feel safe behind something and stop dancing. I would then proceed to kill 'em via 2-inch flechette to the foot at 2500 m/s. This build it's been harder to perform, but I've still managed to pull it off a few times. And I'm talking about feet not legs! This is a physics thread though, so lets not bring reflexology into the matter xD
