Things like the Internet, the Digital/Programmable computer (collosus) we get so little recognition in this age BAE (British Aerospace Engineering) make lots of cool stuff, these railguns are a good example, thing is brits tend to never get credit for it because like Asestorian said, we can never get the stuff first and therefore be given the "its a british weapon!" because we just plain can't afford it (challenger 2 tanks are a good example of this, the brits have a worse model than the saudi's do). ---

What you talking about, takes that long just to go 60km with the current state of Railtrack and it'll cost you more! I say prep for dustoff, nuke the site from orbit... Only way to be sure!

SeismicForce Clear Horizon Industries	Posted - 2008.01.29 13:21:00 - [30] Originally by: navy author writing-person Like lasers, they're out of step with modern-day generators and capacitors. You see!!! You Amarr whiners arn't the only ones with cap problems Originally by: Allisie In a recent interview, a dev mentioned that ships and skills cause lag and will be removed in EVE 2.

Seriously, they would, it would be awesome if they could do that and still get the same performance. im pretty sure you missed her point, which was about that "should make war safer for everyone". which tbh is a pretty ******* stupid thing to say. unless were talking about this big convention where the world agreed on having paintball matches instead of war.
mama guru Gallente Corp 1 Allstars Insurgency	Posted - 2008.01.29 15:11:00 - [32] I got my money on the Russians and their damn plasmaguns. *signature removed - please email us to find out why (include a link) - Jacques([email protected]) EVE is like the "Fisherman's Friend" of MMOs. If it's too hard, you are too weak.
Keorythe Caldari Terra Rosa Militia Sev3rance	Posted - 2008.01.29 16:14:00 - [33] the potential for rail guns to deliver supporting fire from up to 220 miles away -- around 10 times further than standard ship-mounted cannons -- with rounds landing more quickly and with less advance warning than a volley of Tomahawk cruise missiles. OMG, the navy is going to invent a sniper Rohk! Me wants! The more daunting challenge is the force of the rail gun itself: A few shots can dislodge the conducting rails -- or even damage the barrel of the gun. It looks like they'll be spending a few years learning up their overheating skills though. Just have to wonder what th shells are currently made from and what kind of payload capacity do they push.
Gyfrex	Posted - 2008.01.29 16:25:00 - [34] Originally by: mama guru I got my money on the Russians and their damn plasmaguns. these are great...at about 2 meters away ---
