blazingcobalt Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 True. Anyways, faction elements are the hardest part...all the factions have a very distinct feel, which can be really hard to capture sometimes. I tried to doodle a corpus-themed railgun when I first saw this thread and it did not look anything like a corpus weapon. I just look at the weapons and see if I can find any common ground between them. Something easy to find is the color scheme. The Corpus have a darker gray for a base, with a faded out blue color, and a more gray-silver color for highlights. I've also noticed that they seem to have a lot of diagonal slashes to them as well, and the bolts seem to have a line through them. Anyhow, I tried to implement that and I also did a Grineer one.

Cmdr_Forge Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Nice! Though to be honest I'm not a big fan of the spike points on the tenno version. Will the tenno ever learn to move beyond old style guns and those covered in spikes within the game? They got plenty available to them in the new time period to do better designs with than staying with old styling continually. It doesn't have be antiqued or spike covered to always be considered a tenno weapon does it? Why can't they get out of that design format once in a while for new weapons and build one in a design fitting of their new time period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaugahn Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Ooh, the Grineer and Prime versions look really sharp. The smoking ejection port on the Tenno version is pretty cool as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0ckwolf Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Alright... I honestly have no idea of the anatomy of a gun, let alone railguns, so please bear with me if I made any huge flaws. I'm not experienced in this area. However feel free to nitpick and edit my image to point out the problem areas! This looks quiet nice!^^ I personnally like it when you can easily reckognize the Rails by them being open in the mid section, if you know what i mean. Also i like them when they are of equal length, just my preference: ;) What wouldbe nice though is a larger magazine, don´t forget that the Bolts are quiet large and even storing 2-3 of them costs a lot of space. Hope i didn´t sound to nitpicky! Like the design!^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalizy Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 A railgun or coilgun is actually a weapon that fires the projectile through magnetism the lanka for example is a railgun, to be a railgun it doesn't need to deal a massive destructive power, the projectile only needs to be fired from a magnetic source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD The Lanka does not fire bolts through magnetic acceleration, but electirc energy projctiles. So it is not a Railgun in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokubas Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Also it should be called the Misaka. That would be awesome, and blend right in with the rest of the Japanese. ;3 To be honest, when I joined this game, I immediately started looking for all of the electric stuff because of Mikoto. I joined during the window where Volt was not a starter, so I worked hard for him, and Lecta, and the Castanas, and Amprex, and ultimately, Lanka. Boy was I disappointed with the Lanka (though I do not regret the time and effort I put in). Not only was it not the railgun it's sorta implied to be, but despite the niche I've heard it can fill, it definitely doesn't seem worthy of Rank 7. (By the way, not that it seems like I'd have to explain myself, but it's less directly that I'm trying to imitate Mikoto, as much as she helped me realize how much I love electricity powers.) We definitely need a railgun. They're a really awesome (not so) sci-fi weapon perfect for this game, especially since there are already Railgun Moa and such. I already liked railguns before MIkoto, but come on, we need this: Edited August 28, 2014 by Jokubas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xRufus7x Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 They shoot faster because they're pretty much just larger MBT cannons. Many railguns today need to be hauled around on a flatbed trailer. For the size of the Lanka, you're lucky it shoots as fast as it does. I dont know if this criticism is valid in a game with space ninjas with jetpacks.

Nagisawa Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I would say Lanka is a railgun too, but... well, it just isn't. It fires electric rounds, slower than conventional weapons. A Real Railgun fires physical rounds(they'd deal mainly impact&puncture damage) way way WAY faster than conventional weapon fire. A railgun's base damage would be enormous. Like at about MACH 5 and up. Which would make it a hypersonic weapon. Mechanically speaking it would be a charge up, one shot (at a time) weapon with hitscan, and MASSIVE damage. The sort of thing that would suit the Archwing quite well, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just browsed through the patch files of the recent patch and guess what I found. Archwing Railgun :) Look here: https://github.com/deathmax/warframe_data/commit/b073fd430c40d7ca24ce7148cfddfcd24c5d5773#diff-67f4330b8fbda732ff466ec8d9889390L9789 Press ctrl+f and look for it yourself if you like.
