Killerdude8 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 This has genuinely confused me, A Railgun, Shoots it's projectile SLOWER than a Gunpowder Weapon. If it's supposed to be a Railgun, MAKE IT A RAILGUN!! AKA Hypersonic velocities and stuff. Just give us the Railgun Moa weapon, That makes sense.

-CM-s7even Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 lol! On a side note any of you rememeber the Rail gun in Red Faction? Yea that old fps game that let you make your own door around a locked door with a bazooka! The Rail gun in that game was the most OP thing ive ever had my hands on! Looking in the scope would show enemys heat through walls and you can kill any and all enemys in a line regardless of walls or cars or just well any object in the way. Down side to it was that it was single shot and took forever between shots! Still I would also love to see somthing like this in Warframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syius Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Lanka is not a metal projectile rail gun, its more like a coil gun which use plasma as projectile so its maybe coil based plasma caster Edited January 27, 2014 by Syius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaveCricket48 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 There isn't enough information to be able to tell if the Lanka is a railgun or a coilgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syius Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) nah, i dont find sniping anything on long to mid range difficult or annoying. And if they change it to hit-scan that could possibly mean a "balance fix" that decrease dmg or crit. and that would be uncool up: well yes and no, most (if not all) corpus weapons use some kind of plasma projectiles (cause Fieldron desc.) and to move / shape plasma you need electric and/or magnetic force, that could be easily achieved by set of coils etc Edited January 27, 2014 by Syius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played my fair share of Red Faction 1 & 2 multiplayer back in the day. Good times with that railgun! Red Faction 1 was the best for environmental destruction. You could dig a hole with a rocket launcher and get yourself stuck in a pit! Back to the topic, I don't remember if that railgun was hitscan or not, but the projectile was still a lot faster than the warframe one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillsAndTheSea Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) because there is something that trumps realism when it comes to video games. " balance" more damage, yet projectile has travel time, making it more of a niche weapon, in the same vein of the other energy weapons, such as the supra and the dera, it also makes the weapons function slightly different, which is always good if you dont like the travel time, use the vectis, if you dont like the small clip of the vectis, use snipetron, etc Edited January 27, 2014 by HillsAndTheSea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syius Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Except the Vectis, A Hit scan weapon, Does more damage than the Lanka. sorry but you are wrong Lanka - 250 Elec dmg (fully charged) / 50 dmg (part charge) Vectis - 175 (70 + 61.25 + 43.75) when Lanka first appear there was only full charge dmg so look at those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidflow Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Lanka is fine. Learn to use it or move to Vectis. This rifle is not for boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makya Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hmm.. Are any corpus weapons hitscan? Side question, your spitballs fly at 200meters/sec? o.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdee Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) just the flux rifle and its baby brother spectra all of the others have travel time, which given their energy based nature, is somewhat hilarious that a bullet could travel faster Edited January 28, 2014 by weirdee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailCreation Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 sorry but you are wrong Lanka - 250 Elec dmg (fully charged) / 50 dmg (part charge) Vectis - 175 (70 + 61.25 + 43.75) when Lanka first appear there was only full charge dmg so look at those The Vectis also has multiple resistances to be reduced by. Lanka can be made to any dominant element for the faction you want to use it against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSkD Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Lanka is fine as it is, I think. It has 10 shots and deals good damage. Travel and charge time are there so it is not op. If you want a railgun or at least something in the direction, use the snipetron: it is corpus tech but uses bullets and it is also hitscan. Problem solved. (as far as possible right now) Still it would be nice to have a badass railgun. Something like Metal Gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scar.Heart Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Leave my Lanka the F*** alone! Lanka has 5m INNATE PUNCH THROUGH. So long, pesky 11-15 cost on punch through mods! 20% critical rate 25% status chance And, after numerous suggestions/complaints about a sniper needing to charge for a shot, it can fire without full charge. Projectile shots are very small sacrifice for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archistopheles Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 It's not a railgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davoodoo Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I really doubt that lanka was meant as railgun. On the other hand i could make simple project of railgun 300 puncture dmg 100 impact dmg 100.0 accuracy 0.5 fire rate 1 clip size 3.0 reload charge trigger (2s to fully charge) 20m innate punch through hitscan ofc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailCreation Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Because the Lanka doesn't need to be a hitscan weapon. Aiming is not hard, you just need to compensate for your target's movement. If it's not a weapon for you, it's not a weapon for you. If you want a hitscan sniper then make a vectis and stack reload mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
