This has been a question I have had for the past couple of days. I am at the point where I need to chose which way to go I think. And being this will aslo affect my next ship choice (Moa or Caracal). Was just wondering what the thoughts on these choices are? I have had some experiecne with missile's and liked it, but have never done a railgun. So I was wondering if someone could explain how they do in damage, range, and endgame performance. Thanks for all the info. and lookforward to reading what you have to say!

Rails have the same benefits as other turrets in that they do instant damage. No waiting for the missle to strike the target. Rails use a fair bit of cap which takes some exp in ship setups after you start using 425mm heavy guns. When equiped with the right rails your damage output is quite good although its only Kenitic and Thermal damage with no options for other types yet.
The bigest drawback is in Skill Points required to use them. Missles will have you more combat effective faster and at a lower total sp investment.
Rails as with all guns require a lot of time in gunnery training to work well. My Gunnery skills which are just for hybrids and base gunnery skills have just passed 5.5 mil at which point I can use 425mm tech II rails.
I have corpmates in Ravens with 1.4 mil in missle points who can deal almost as much damage as I can.
I realy enjoy ticking them off by killing their targets with guns while they have space filled with wasted Torps and Cruise missles. Overall I enjoy my rails on this account more than my tech2 lasers on my main account.
Missles = quicker payoff and wait times for damage
Rails(any guns)= longer training time and instant damage
As for wich is better guns or missles. It's totaly dependant on the situation for the battle you are in. There is no clear cut winner as the variables are too great.

Remember with guns you need tracking... Don't worry about it but keep it in mind - Some fast buggers might be worth spending a few missiles sp on!!

the buggers are usualy so fast, that missiles won't help you much either
