Gravity Propelled Railgun Projectile I

(Made to be used in Phantom-class destroyers.)



Designed to be launched at 104 m/s and with a mass of 36 000 kg, the Type 1 Railgun Projectile has the potential to inflict great damage upon impact. Activating the artificial mass in a strong gravity field will propel the projectile forward, and a sensor will then deactivate the artificial mass after 50 m to reduce the effectiveness of gravity shields.

Effectiveness:

The Type 1 does the most damage when its heavy armor tips are allowed to bury their way into their target.

The Type 1 is most effective against flat surfaces and box-shaped spacecraft. During testing it has consistently punched through 15 layers of heavy armour. This often completely disintegrates the projectile. On some occations the damage also spreads several meters in a horizontal fasion.

Against a angled surface, or one with bumps or protrusions, the effectiveness can drop dramaticly. If it hits with only one tip, it will punch through 2-5 layers. If it hits at an angle so that none of the tips bury into the armor, it will only cause a bump.

Therefore, when choosing a target, aim for the area with the flattest surface for greater effect.

Projectile design (especially the sensor-idea) inspired by AAM Caspian-Class Frigate Mk. III Mod 3.
