The same artillery frigate is featured in the wallpaper that Battuta and The E made by the way.

[Madcat]

Hot damn... that muzzle flash... now I know what you mean with "polishing"! 

Keep on polishing!!! 

[Commander Zane]

No amount of words can equate to the epicness of those shots.

[General Battuta]

You should see the effects on the receiving end. Railgun impacts got the same scripting treatment as bomb detonations...

So much for Narayana being secret.
I guess that since it's been officially revaeled, posting awesome screens of it is OK.
BTW, on FSPL everyone knew about it for quite some time, due to it becoming a favourite ship of one person with keen eyes and large monitor. 

[Aardwolf]

It was already mentioned by name somewhere else (possibly in one of the infoblurbs?), and was seen briefly in the Solaris demo video (the Toreador) and in that video of that mini-campaign somebody was making... Dilmah G, I think? First Battle of Neptune, or somesuch.

It's pretty easy to see on the Battle of Neptune video, it's godly.

So much for Narayana being secret.

A poorly-kept secret at best.

[NGTM-1R]

That muzzleflash is awful. Do you have any idea how much of your rails you're ejecting into space with each shot if it's that huge?

You could make the shot itself shiney, and I'd accept that, but this is just ridiculous. It's a railgun dammit!

[Droid803]

unless it isn't a railgun?

[NGTM-1R]

Then you have even less excuse.

It's definitely a railgun, and heck I was thinking the same thing about it not making much sense for a railgun (and an exoatmospheric one at that) to have a big muzzleflash, but...man it looks cool.

So call it a chemically assisted projectile and it's all good, man, just roll with it.

[Shivan Hunter]

Maybe some of the atmosphere inside the firing chamber escapes through the barrel when the slug/missile/whatever is loaded, is sucked into space and is burned up by the projectile's insane velocity before it can disperse enough to be unnoticeable/unaffected.

or maybe HOLY EXPLOSION BATTMAN IT LOOKS AWESOME, STOP COMPLAINING

[General Battuta]

That detonation is the gunnery crew being blown out with the projectile.

This is why Narayanas have a crew of at least 5000. They are required for prolonged engagements.

Is that water surrounded by plants on the mars surface?
If yes, how far did this terraforming effort go? Does mars already have breathable air and pressure adequate for humans to walk outside without protection?

It's coming along. The fiction we have suggests a cold but survivable environment out there, including breathable air. Presumably those crazy ridiculous power sources got put to use for stuff other than absurdly powerful weapons. Also, there were comets.

46 meter diameter muzzles? Hot damn... those are so big you can nearly shove an Ursa into the muzzle of one of those as sort of a kamikaze move or even shoving a Helios down into it... Let alone the Mass Driver shells themselves are the size of another large bomber itself....

With the sheer size of the muzzles themselves, i cant help but wonder how much ammo the main cannons are outfitted with and how fast they can be reloaded to refire...

[The E]

It's much, much easier if you have the magic gravity manipulation tech the FS universe has.

Now there's an idea...fire an Ursa at super-speed at the enemy, then have said Ursa fire a Helios salvo at an even greater speed.  It's brilliant!

Yo Dawg,

I heard you liked bombing, so I put bombers in your bombs so you can bomb while you bomb!
