Ok, Schoon.. your losing it.. ;)

Remember Kra'Vak only have one major weapon system - that is the
Railgun..
We need to make them work..Changing the Damage and Mass/Points of the
railgun is not going to fix this problem in my mind.. We need to
continue
to work on Kra'Vak armour -vs- railgun ideas..

Hows this - Kra'Vak armour is venerable to railgun projectiles, and
offers no protection agaist them? 

If the best weapon the Kra'Vaks can widely field is a Class3 railgun,
that
does under 9 points of damage, they will not have the same teeth they
did
in MT.. I think we need to compare them to the SML/SMR - same weight and
how many times the damage..

Just my rant..
