Blueprint details for Rail Gun - Short range

Double Braced

Additional, hardened supports and bracing further improve module survivability.

Feedback Cascade

Rail slug energy charging mechanism, designed to interfere with shield cell operation. Strikes to a target deploying a shield cell will damage the shield cell bank and reduce shield restoration, at the cost of reduced damage from smaller rounds.

Flow Control

Advanced software and internal sensors regulate energy flow more efficiently, reducing module power draw.

Multi-servos

Additional servomechanisms and controller software allow the weapon to safely fire at an increased rate, at the cost of increased power draw.

Oversized

Scaled up components and reinforced munitions housing allows the weapon to pack more of a punch, increasing damage at the cost of increased power draw.

Plasma Slug

Experimental upgrade allowing plasma slug ammo to be generated directly from ship fuel, at the cost of reduced damage.

Stripped Down

Key components replaced with versions crafted from lightweight materials and all extraneous parts removed entirely to reduce mass.

Super Penetrator

Experimental munitions that are capable of penetrating and damaging all modules along its trajectory, at the cost of increased reload times.
