Question Which template for ammunition?

[Brimstone]

I am planning to create a specialist round for a future rail gun submission. Where would I do that and which template is appropriate as all the damage output/rate of fire/range etc. Would be dependant on the gun, not the projectile.

Thanks

The simple Ranged Weapon template is appropriate to this.

Thank you

Also, while you are here MANIAC , is there a maximum or recommended speed for a ship mounted rail gun?

No, you don't have to give numbers for this, the rating is enough, if I understand the question precisely.

Thanks, I wasn't sure as I know nuclear weapons are considered super weapons. I have seen numbers around 5000km/sec but a 2 ton projectile travelling at that speed has a kinetic energy roughly equal to a 25Mt nuke

You know what, I might be getting my scifis mixed up, those are halo numbers I think. Super macs do 12000km/s for a 3000 ton projectile which is about 10000x the Tsar bomb lol

Numbers are not required but for rail guns sometimes it doesn't hurt to give an idea how strong or fast it is. It would just be flavor though and for some of the really powerful ones it should be under specials or strengths.

at least when I remade the Atrisian armory that is how I did it
