Hmm, interesting one. It must be a targetting issue. As railguns are 
slower than light the time to target will be much longer than for 
lasers. Thus they require better targetting solutions. So maybe, the 
Kra'vak developed better sensors and computers than we did. Maybe 
moving over to railguns would be the next logical step for us, but we 
ran into the Kra'vak before that occurred.

If the Kra'vak do have better tragetting systems this could be 
represented in DSII by giving superior firecons to a greater 
percentage of their forces.
