So in an attempt to show off how ridiculously big the ships in the game Novus Aeterno are I made this painting of a huge gauss cannon being constructed. As you can see its pretty big. Also when out of ammunition it has the option to fire an assortment of famous landmarks... That might have just been a dream I had.

Follow the games progress on Facebook, twitter and its new website.

"And here we have the Westinghouse Class-1 Gauss Super-Railgun. This baby fires a 900-ton slug of depleted uranium-titanium alloy, magnetically accelerated to 70% light-speed. The kinetic shock from the impact can gut a ship from bow to stern instantly. And if they somehow survive, the impact can throw them wildly off-course, leaving the enemy open for another salvo.

Maximum effective range is 850,000 kilometers."

Maximum effective range? It's space. There's no friction in the void. It goes on at the same speed and momentum until it hits something, whether in the next day or the next ten thousand years. Targeting range perhaps?

Point taken. :P

Besides that mess-up, how was my omake?

Great! I shudder to imagine being hit by a shell THAT big at 70% speed of light...

Exactly how large is the spaceship!? This cannon looks like it could one shot an imperial star destroyer.

Nice, that is most definitely a very big cannon.

P.S. Not to be picky, but gauss guns should be smoothbore, the rifling doesn't really make sense.
