I'm seeing a lot of people suddenly start to ask about rails and the ships that use them. Did the latest patch increase the damage output or something? Last I remember they are rather sucky at the moment.

Did you recently start hanging out with bad players? ...Then when you stopped to think about it. All you really said was Lalala. |

Medium and large rails have poor damage and poor alpha in comparison to artillery. The ships that are meant to snipe with them are pretty substandard, with the eagle unable to even fit 250mm guns and an mwd without a fitting mod.
People overstate it a bit and I guess beam lasers are pretty bad as well. You can make an okay sniper ship with railguns, but it's always going to be kinda poor in comparison to any alternatives.

There's been a bit of people pushing for hybrid buff to come sooner rather than later (or a nerf of AC's/Pulses which have eaten into blaster's niche, or a review of the entire Gal lineup to make blasters acceptable to use).
There's also been a few reposts of the 1100dps Sentry/Rail gank pve domi fit. --------------------------------- Go Web! Go! |

Yeah, the supposed premier medium rail platform, the Eagle, is hopelessly short of PG, and is much slower than its Zealot/Muninn counterparts. Worst of all, the supposed premier rail platform, the Rokh, does less DPS at 240 km than the Apocalypse. The niche of rails is supposed to be range - it's absolutely absurd and self-evidently broken that the Rokh is outdamaged virtually at maximum lock range.

Add into that Rokh's horrible speed and sensor strength and the Rokh is quite a crippled ship. It really could be awesome in some applications, but (like many of its caldari turret companions) is VERY niche and not remotely versatile. Sexy ship tho
