there is no Fan-Concept involved in this discussion, how is this the Proper Section please????

 

Your first post contains concept art/art from other games that shows what your ideal art style for the railgun should be like. It also contains concepts of mechanics, collated ideas of how the weapon would function and perform in-game.

 

If you look at other threads in this section, other weapon concepts are also here.

 

So yes, this belongs in Fan Concepts.

In everyone's gun fantasies, why are railguns huge? Is it this strange attraction to small [usually female] characters wielding massive guns rearing it's ugly head again?

Railguns, in actuall Military realworld usage are shipmounted giantass guns!!! It´s not a fantasy...

It has to be classified as a launcher, like the ogris and torid but way bigger as said in the op post. Also like the ogris it should be able to kill you if you shoot too close due to the impact from the the bolt.

Frankly, we already have something VERY CLOSE to a railgun. All we need is for DE to make the Lanka hitscan and to change its damage to puncture and impact, and there we go. Railgun.

Discussed at length already! The Lanka is not a Railgun, it might have similarities when it comes to it´s shooting mechanics, but it has no Rails(duhhh), no projectile/bolt, elcricity damage, too low projectile speed, too low damage output, by faaar not enough puncture, no visual similarity to a Railgun when it comes to it´s model and it´s shooting FX and the sound of the shot also does not fit the one of a Railgun.

 

It is a Plasma/Laser Sniperrifle, not a Railgun, period!!

Would probably a corpus-tech based weapon then..

Lanka's the closest one to a railgun..

Would be awesome if we can have a Sniper rifle/rail-gun version of the boltor

that's the exact mechanic.. it would have to be a projectile & hitscan at the same time, with charge of course

At first i thought a redesign of the Lanka would be appropiate, but after all this talk about how Railguns actually work, i can only say that it´s fundamentally different to what the Lanka is. It´s got the charge and puncture attribute, but that´s about it, other then that there are no simmilarities. If you think about it, by that logic the Miter would also be just as close to a Railgun and i can´t imagine anyone seriously seeing it that way.

 

The Lanka is a Plasma/Laser Rifle and it´s fine for what it is...

 

 

But we WANT A REAL RAILGUN!!!

A corpus boss who uses a railgun, and you have to beat him to get it. A BIG @(*()$ GUN like in MGS4.

This is somewhat how its stats should go:

damage: VERY high and pure puncture. Also unlimited punch through. 3 seconds to charge.

Magazine: 3 big bullets.

Max ammo: Same as Snipers (dont use them so i dont know how much it has).

Reload: 3 seconds.

Recoil: VERY High.

Accuracy: 100 (i would say a proyectile but a very VERY fast one, leaving a trail)

Status chance: 40% (cause why not)

Crit chance: 10% (it already does ALOT of puncture, less crif for balance)

Crit damage: 200% (IF you crit they will die)

 

It should also be as long as... Rhino is tall.
