Interesting comments. I've changed the rail package to match the recharge rates. I'll have to research Gauss4, but it won't be too long.
I've created a meson model and a rail model with better armor, as I have a class 7 Nebula with hostiles inside it. Are Gauss weapons effective in nebulas? Or, hould I keep it in the standard fleet?
Missilles and shields do not work in a nebula. All of the beam weapons do work however. The main drawback to gauss weapons is there size, relitively short range, and the reasearch cost of higher rates of fire. In a nebula the meson will work quite well, but it is going to be hard to armor them up enough to get any decent speed out of them.
