A required component of all railguns. Must be paired with a Launcher and zero or more Accelerators.

Railguns fire magnetically accelerated projectiles that can penetrate deep into enemy ships, causing great damage. Each Railgun requires both a Loader and a Launcher, plus any number of optional Accelerators.

The Railgun Loader Module is a required component of a functioning railgun design. It is placed at the start of a railgun and is the piece that allows the crew to load the required ammo in order to fire a projectile. A Railgun Launcher Module is also required to make a functioning weapon.

If any part of the railgun is destroyed, the rest of it will explode in a chain reaction. The Railgun Loader Module will deal a small amount of damage to surrounding tiles if there is ammo stored inside at the time of its destruction.
