Hi capsuleers,

After years of Eve, I thought this change would come, but this is not the case. Watching some PVP videos, I came to the fact that Railguns/Projectiles are totally unseen in battles. Only lasers, remote/neut and missiles (eg. Asakai).

IMO this is pretty sad because you can't see the whole awesomeness of a battle from afar.
So... Yeah, this will be more lag, still, Railguns could have really, really badass effects. Same for sentries (like in Rubicon trailer) with a switch for poor config or massive battle.

For example (MASS EFFECT 3 SPOILER ALERT) this is the kind of effect I'm expecting from a Battleship class (with a smaller scale, this one is more a Dreadnough size)

You know, cool sound, splash on hit (and not this current "pew i touched u lel"), and not forced to zoom in at max to see a ray...
Oh, and, please, do something about the 425mm model. I mean there is a lot of concepts about railguns, etc, but, this one...
