New weapon ideas for Discovery

[Egon Bigmemes]

I think that gunboats deserve a railgun too.. Not as an anticap but to instakill fighters and bombers in a single shot..

Maybe 100000 hull damage
450000 energy usage to prevent it from being used on super fast gunships

The thing is though, that, even though Sirius is highly advanced into the space age, Railguns were an un-perfected technology. Meaning, that the guns are big, inefficient, and need to be engineered over many years to fit small craft.

Also for the fact that a gun like that on Gunboats would be downright brutal. A Battle Razor tends to work on Fighters anyway.
