The railgun is the only good mass driver.  if you are breaking rocks, energy weapons are a much better choice, and if you are breaking ships, the rail gun does it twice as well as any of the others.  watch out for the high power usage though.

* Penetration is a hidden stat that multiplies the damage of a projectile. Because of it, railguns deal twice the damage one'd expect from their projectile mass and muzzle velocity.

* The Railgun is the most versatile mass driver, having good effectiveness in both mining and combat applications due to its high rate of fire and uncompromised damage.

A mass-driver is a device used to accelerate an object. Depending on design, mass-drivers can be used as weapons, mining tools, or delivery systems.

Notes

  • Penetration is a hidden stat that multiplies the damage of a projectile. Because of it, Railgun deals twice the damage expected from their projectile mass and muzzle velocity.
  • The Railgun is the most versatile mass driver, having good effectiveness in both mining and combat applications due to its high rate of fire and uncompromised damage.
