Gauss Driver

"The Gauss Driver is a Kinetic weapon that uses multiple magnetic coils to achieve long range and high damage."

General
The Gauss Driver is a direct upgrade from the Rail Driver with more range and damage.

It fires a bluish projectile which travels slowly, similar to the Rail Driver.

Advantages
Gauss Drivers have even more range than the Rail Driver, further enhancing the kiting and sniping capability of your ships.

They also deal considerably more damage, making each strike count.

Disadvantages
Much like the Rail Driver, ships equipped with Gauss Drivers have a hard time hitting enemy ships. Iridium Magnets are highly recommended to improve the weapon's accuracy.

Gauss Drivers are also easily replaced by Mass Drivers, which have better overall stats.

Trivia

 * The Gauss Driver was once called the Gauss Gun.
