Reinforced Rails

"The Reinforced Rails boosts the speed and shield penetration of Kinetic weapons, as well as reducing the minimum range penalty."

General
Reinforced Rails are an upgrade to Phased Magnets with additional shield bypass and a unique minimum range reduction. It is restricted to cruisers.

Advantages
Reinforced Rails have the same mass requirement as compared to Phased Magnets but with 5% more shield bypass, ignoring even more of the enemy's shield defenses.

This special also reduces the minimum range of your Kinetic weapons, preventing enemies from hiding within.

Disadvantages
Reinforced Rails has around twice the XP of Phased Magnets. For short-medium range Kinetic weapons such as Gemini Driver, Storm Driver and Tempest Driver, the minimum range decrease may not be needed at all.

Trivia

 * Reinforced Rails is the first weapon boost that affects minimum range.
