How to use railguns as a new player?


Started playing the game a few days ago and I love it. For the combat aspect of it, I wanna go down the long range route. Railguns seem like the best choice for that cuz of their hitscan feature.But I got a couple problems with that. Railguns only seem to be good for long range if they are engineered. Otherwise, they have a damage fall off of a mere 1000m. That wont win me any long range fights I think. Plus their heat is a huge problem for the only combat ship I have atm: Viper M3. So these two things make me think if I wanna snipe with railguns I'm gonna have to wait till way later when I can engineer them and have better ships. At this point Cannons work better at long ranges than rails.So I just wanna ask am I doing it wrong? Is there a way to use them even at the start even unengineered? I am about to get the Asp Exploret very very soon, would that be better suited? Cuz according to wiki it's better at handling heat.Or should I just ditch Railguns for something like cannons for long range fights, until I unlock engineers?
