No, the major benefit of these thingy's is that they are more efficient than ballistic ammunition. There is still recoil, lots of it.

Also, in space, loud noises like explosions and turret fire are EXTRA LOUD because there is no air to get in the way of the sound.
That's the way it should be. Make it happen, physicists!

Railguns experience a recoil force but they have no moving parts and should not animate. It's not a pistol.

Why sabot being fired by via magnetic fields cause an explosive like recoil?

I am sure one of the devs said the plan was to remove recoil from guns that didn't but they liked the graphic affect so much it stayed.
If only gun recoil was all we had to worry about..

Photons have momentum.
But that's photons, and not the electromagnetic wave [light] itself. Something has to act upon light for it to emit the photons iirc.

According to a quick google search:
Sound waves exist as variations of pressure in a medium such as air. They are created by the vibration of an object, which causes the air surrounding it to vibrate. The vibrating air then causes the human eardrum to vibrate, which the brain interprets as sound.
So without air in space how can the vibrating air cause sound ?
There may be sound waves but you wont hear them.

What is this vibration nonsense. If your google research was true it would cause everything to blur because the vibrating soundwaves would obscure clear vision.

Light is photons ù it doesn't emit them. It's the light source that emits the photons/light.
Whether you see it as a particle or a wave depends on how you choose to observe it.

I can't believe you had to Google search that. It's elementary physics.

Railguns don't just experience a bit of recoil force. They experience a LOT of recoil force. If any gun should recoil, it should be the railgun.
What concerns me is that a lot of the railgun models, particularly the dual ones, look much more like blasters than the actual blasters do. They even have a round bit for the cyclotron and everything. Do you think maybe some of the models got mixed up?

actually what annoyed me was that some blasters don't appear to have recoil. I tried out a rig with small blasters on SiSi and the blaster didn't recoil (visibly at least).
Given the energies involved, and the kind of yield we are supposed to get with blasters, the momentum of the shot, and thus the recoil, should be in the order of the momentum of the USS Nimitz at full steam...
Given that recoil does indeed look cool, I would advise giving all turrets as much of it as possible.

get over it
There are far more pressing concernt in EVE right now
If the art department needs to do anything, its get the missile turrets completed and then start re-skinning all the ships like they did for the Scorpion and the Maller.
I don't even have to be a Caldari pilot to agree with this statement. =)

There's some weird einsteinian thing about light isn't there. It doesn't have any mass so it shouldn't impart a physical force, but somehow it does because space is weird. Either way, the force from light is pretty much negligible even for amarr super-lasers so I hope they take out the recoil for these at some point.

As someone who actually understands the weird Einsteinian thing, I beg to differ.
However the 'recoil looks cool' principle trumps physics anyway... given that recoil looks cool, and physics says it exists I would wager turret recoil is not going anyway.

rail guns have recoil.
jut becuase the video you've seen of rail guns on youtube are bloted to the ground does not mean there is no recoil.
In fact if were to bolt down a handgun with no built in recoil it too, would appear to have, gasp, no recoil.
The recoil is not strong enough to move the ground.
However once they put railguns on battships they will need recoil barrels or the whole ship would flip over when the guns fire.

It's not so much that, I think the barrel recoiling mechanism is more to prevent damage to the structure of the turret by spreading the force it recieves over a couple of seconds.

To be fair there is an eve chronicle (or short story, I forget, read it a long time ago) that explains away that problem. It states that early experiments with pod pilots suggested that pod pilots found themselves feeling a bit disoriented without sound, therefore the ships computer simulates sounds for the pilots benefit. Something along those lines anyway. /evelorenerd

Knowing ammarians they'd make them lazorz look like they have massive recoil to strike fear into those puny lesser races. ^^
