I'm looking at over a third (closer to a half) of my pledge level in shipping and VAT.
This completely destroys any value in the KS.
SO . . . trying to remember, but what was the name of the dropship Victoria blew up to cause the Taurians to side with her father as part of fearing the FedSuns were on the move? When did that happen?
Plus there is other issues with the 1 minute turn scale, like where does the other 5 shots a gauss rifle gets in 60 seconds go? Its all so undefined.You can also reverse the thinking, in that the in atmosphere shots are lower-powered in order to deal with having an atmosphere in the barrel, and with lower powered shots you can easily fire more often.
So Gauss in space would still be faster, but the minimum would be 3000m/s using the acceleration to distance hex scale, instead of 6000. Still faster then 1750, but unable to be easily defined using the space hexes that dont add up.
Gladius, the navy railgun is quite fast! Using 2 km/s would only increase the crater size! Those gauss rifles sure do make a mark! The navy railgun melts itself firing though right? So its possible the 125kg watermelon is also partially melted, reducing the impact mass. I have heard at that speed everything acts like a liquid instead of a solid.Railguns use a different way to accelerate their projectile, so gauss rifles will not have that melting issue.
