It should be an alternative to the Railgun, not something superior.
Give them equal damage, keep the longer range for the GG while increasing its reload time, and at the same time reduce the ammo for the GG and increase the ammo for the RG.
Would give the ICC three choices for their weapon slot: Short range but explosive power (SABOT) Medium range with less power but better ROF(Railgun) or long range with less ammo and ROF (Gauss Gun)

Actually, that is presented from a false persective.
Concider, if you will, a UGTO ship that has 20,000 worth of offense, 40,000 worth of defense, and 80,000 worth of hull.
Now, think of an ICC ship with 16,000 worth of offense, 58,000 worth of defense, and 80,000 worth of hull.
Over the same ammount of time, the ICC ship will eliminate the UGTO ship's defenses before the UGTO ship can eliminate the ICC ship's defenses. The ICC ship will, therefor, be inflicting system damage on the UGTO ship before the UGTO ship can inflict system damage on the ICC ship. System damage will degrade the offensive effectiveness on the UGTO ship first, giving the ICC ship a further advantage, and ulitmatly, victory.
Mind you, this IS a very simple example, but it shows how sufficient defense can overcome a lack in offense. Defense, of course, is predicated not only on simple outright hitpoints, but also repair rate and the ability to reinforce the damaged area in question.
As to changes in the Gauss Gun. Stick around for v1.482 to see what, if any, changes are performed on this component.

That is if both of the ships are stock, as soon as the UGTO ship equps, lets say a flux wave, the offense lvl of the UGTO ship +10000 thats just for the damage it creates, not counting the system damage
Where as a Pulse Shield only add maybe 4-5000 due to the fact that it only stops one volley of torps, cannons or missles.
So yes for stock ships thats a good model but for modded ships the numbers get outa hand
