Bleekosa

different is not strong enough a word

does the projectile really go that fast! or is this just a glitch? I MUST TEST THIS!!!!

Your corvette has so many parts that it is hard to work on, so I thought making it seperate would be better. I'm not going to give up on integration though, I just need a better computer Also,i have concluded that Lv-t30's and aerospikes are not good engines to use for a railgun, far too unstable and have a tendency of cutting the clipped fuel lines.

So here is what I've come up with so far: Download link: http://rapidshare.com/share/6CCD73FEE33BA40E0EE2565CA94FF5CE this is a radially attachable gun, I've set it up so that you double-toggle 1 to fire the gun, press space to load a bullet, which has to be fired almost right after. play around with it and tell me what you think

This is... so awesome :3 , i have always loved that craft since I first saw the movie! but what is that sphere under the cockpit? Is it just for control?

Kk , thats exactly what i was thinking of doing, will post when its done (tweaking could take a while, I want to make it powerful and accurate.

Do you mind if I download the craft and integrate the rail gun into it, I can make it so that it's still subassembly compatible

It might need something smaller then what I've already designed. What size ammunition are you thinking of?

Is this the ship you wanted to attach the rail gun to?

I don't use mods very often but this is very cool, and ironically funny.

not too complicated if you used rcs instead.

Gusto is always good, and definitely more kerbal If I didn't wan't people using my design I wouldn't have posted it on the forums. Of course you can use it! just remember to give credit where its due, and if you can improve upon the design

combining this with my rail gun design would be awesome! I can see how this clip design would work better then mine, I think a space version could also be made, I'm going to try it out and I'll post the results

The accuracy of these rail guns is fairly high, although sometimes they can bug out, usually because the round doesn't fall correctly into the chamber

The recoil decreases as the mass of the craft increases, and since this kind of space rail gun can be extremely heavy (I had a 200 ton version, but it got lost when 2.1 came out) the recoil is not as much as you might think, and you can always balance this out by doing a small burn afterwards with the main engines. as for armor piercing, I wouldn't know as I suspect my computer just isn't powerful enough to calculate the collision of two objects moving relatively at more then 400 m/s so the bullets just glitch through the target. I've tested this many times on my computer and this always happened, however on my friends gaming mega tower It seems to work, although I didn't have the time to properly test it. It'd be interesting to see if someone else could find a way of solving this issue.
