Very likely a bug then... The railcannons have been plagued with problems for a while, some of which got fixed recently but I doubt they got everything. The game probably was frozen into thinking you were still moving, possibly much like how railcannons would get jammed if you lost one.

 I'm actually curious, did you get your railcannons restored via nanos?

Would need a vidya greatorder

Y'know, I think I'll just stick to getting better and better SMGs.

Also, my ingame name is Japamala, if people want to friend me.

I literally have played around with railguns for ~15 minutes in total, so I can't really help you there. :p

[crazysheep]

I play rails often enough (2 of my 4 bays feature rails), but I really can't think of anything that would replicate greatorder's issue. Does it happen every game, and can I get a screenshot of your rail bot in the garage please?

Too many actually, max fire rate is achieved with 6 SMG's. The setup you have will result in SMG's hitting each other and will make your firerate extremely erratic, your CPU would be better spent on more armor

Wait, really? I did not know this.

However, as some get shot off, the others will take their place.  6+ is good for redundancy.

[crazysheep]

Yes, max firing rate is 6 SMGs, but I typically run my T10 SMG hover with 8 SMGs in case some get blown off.

[blazing glory]

So there's some sort of game code where you can't shoot faster then 6 SMGs or something?

SMGs always fire at the same rate.  This rate is such that if 6 SMGs are firing in sequence, the first one will be reloaded by the time the 6th one fires.  If you wanted to fire faster, you'd have to have a second sequence of SMGs, and that isn't supported.

It'd also make SMGs even more OP if you could just fill the sky with a rain of laser fire indiscriminately.  Let's be thankful there's no laser firehoses.

Correct.

Yes, max firing rate is 6 SMGs, but I typically run my T10 SMG hover with 8 SMGs in case some get blown off.

I just run with 6 SMG's my bot is literally a block of armor, the 20something CPU that an extra gun costs is less valuable then the 20something blocks of armor I could use to protect my pilot seat, six guns, and four wheels. Radar is internal and the jammer+flipper are on the bottom. I don't bother with redundancy, it's not as valuable as armor, specially with medics.

[crazysheep]

SMG firing rates increase with number of SMGs.

Medics definitely need the extra armour though.
