 In the meantime: open the file '''railgun-firing.js''' in the Scripts-folder (any text editor will do, but ''not'' Windows Notepad) of railgun.oxp and find line 80:

 Increase the "15" to a higher value (for instance "20"). Save the file and restart Oolite with "SHIFT" pressed.

 Railgun.oxp also installs a slightly altered interceptAI, replacing Oolite's interceptAI.plist. This was necessary in order to make police ships react to offences committed through railgun firing. It may cause incompatibility with other OXPs which alter interceptAI.plist. As of the release of this OXP, I am not aware of incompatibilities.

 Move or copy the file railgun.oxp from its download folder into your AddOns folder. Where that resides depends on your installation. Restart Oolite.

 Each of the railguns needs its specially manufactured projectiles. These are available in bundles of 100 at your local equipment department of at least techlevel 3. The railguns themselves can be fitted in stores beginning with techlevel 4 for the X-100 Small Railgun.
-Fauchon-Oliphant Inc. guarantee the efficacy of all their projectiles up to a range of 20 km, independent of the type of projectile. Above this range the projectiles tend to dissolve due to the increasing friction with the surrounding phlogiston.
+Fauchon-Oliphant Inc. guarantee the efficacy of all their projectiles up to a certain range, depending on the type of projectile. The guaranteed range for the X-100 Small Railgun is 16 km. Due to their higher projectile density the X-150 Medium Railgun and X-200 Heavy Railgun have guaranteed ranges of 18 and 20 km, respectively. Above their guaranteed range the projectiles tend to dissolve due to the increasing friction with the surrounding phlogiston.

 All railguns are mounted close to the front laser of your ship and fire their projectiles strictly forward. They are currently not available for other orientations. All railguns need to be activated first (default key 'SHIFT-N'), before they can be fired (default key 'N'). A message informs the pilot how many projectiles are left in the magazine. When all projectiles have been fired, the gun stops working until the pilot has re-filled the magazine.

 The basic principle of railguns has been known for centuries: a strong electric current sent through a pair of metal rails accelerates a conductive projectile to speeds much higher than achievable by propellants like in missiles. The Fauchon-Oliphant X-series operates with kinetic projectiles: there are no explosives involved, the damage to its target is dealt purely through the kinetic energy of the impact. The lack of explosives makes at the same time the projectiles perfectly safe for storage on a space ship.
