Earlier this month, we asked you all for your thoughts on large railguns after they were buffed in the Viridian expansion. They were in need of some serious TLC and as a result, received a +15% bonus to tracking speed and rate of fire. It doesn't sound drastic on paper, but was it enough to get them on the radar of our expert EVE Online community again?
According to JAKEL33T, they never left. "I have always loved rails," he explained. "I use them on my PvE Kronos and ever since the Viridian expansion, the performance for that ship has been so much better. I don't think the buff makes them overpowered, simply more sustainable when compared to other weapon systems." He went on to share his full Kronos PvE ship fit, though he warns it isn't quite suitable for PvP.
Finally, greybill is a huge fan of the large railgun buff, but for a slightly unexpected reason. He explained he bought five Kronoses the day the buff happened, then sold them within 24 hours for 150% of the price. Impeccable entrepreneurialism.
