If you don't want people to discuss your ideas, do not post them in a discussion forum. Discussing their merits or lack thereof is the whole point of this place.

Not exactly a new suggestion. But, but, but reloading would probably make it the most OP weapon in the game and BAAAAALLLLAAAAANNNNCCCEEEE!!!111eleveneleven

lol OP
Have you ever used one? It's too heavy to even bother with.

thats what she said

Make em reloadable and they'll actually be worth darn on the market!

Make them re-loadable, balance the stats later if they prove overpowering. This is the lowest hanging fruit in the game in terms of creating another form of player interaction through trade/manufacturing, changing up the weapon balance which will break people out of their best-in-class molds, and give something to the PVP aficionados to play with.

I agree with ARF; it's not the ammo so much as the mass that is the ConcRail's primary weakness.

So let's make it reloadable, get people using it, and worry about its practicality once people actually start implementing it in their daily lives.

No phaser, don't you twist words like that, ARF meant that the weight was the limiting factor after the reloadableness. Making it lighter will not have it used unless it becomes reloadable

Agreed. Arf's comment should be interpreted to mean that if they were reloadable, they'd still be too heavy. But I'm ok with that...one problem at a time. Make them reloadable.

reloadable +1

make their weight increase with each reload

+1 to the reload

"make their weight increase with each reload"

You can go and sit facing the wall and think about what you've done. Go on.

I didn't bother looking thru the whole thread...the conc rail can't be relloaded because there's no known way to reload it. It has its own power source built in (added weight) so it doesn't use your ships cell to fire. Thus causing it to overheat. The built in cell is just to much heat. So after ten shots it Fry's out.

Yeah, we've all read the description that tries to explain away the uselessness of it. This threadI is for discussion on how to fix it.

Figure out how to put a bigger radiator on the concs own cell. Get to work!! Lol

I don't like the reloadeable railgun topic

I would prefer it to have longer range,faster moving ammo and better sniper mode that would make it more dangerous for long range fireing.

IMO the purpose of a rail gun is for longer range sniping not close combat anyhow so the weight and reloading would be less of a concern.

I like Captains idea re: long range sniper weapon. But in VO this type of weapon doesn't seem practical as there is no sneaking up on anyone except newbs.
