NPC bought codenames are currently significantly worse than even NPC guns (compare JADE and Wyrm Type 2) and as such most of them should be buffed considering the factions which have access to 2.00 guns are significantly better off.
Or just, you know, revert the stupid gun nerf and forget about it.

This was my opinion too since of the beginning of this. +1 to this too.
Hull Damage: 416
Shield Damage: 208
Range 500 m
Projectile Speed: 650 m/s
Refire Rate: 6.67
Energy Usage: 108
Energy Burn Per Second: 720
Damage Per Second: 2775
COMPARE TO:
Sammael:
Hull Damage: 333
Shield Damage: 166
Range: 675m
Projectile Speed: 750 m/s
Refire Rate: 8.33
Energy Usage: 87
Energy Burn Per Second: 725
Damage Per Second : 2274
DPS math
(333 x 8.33 = 2773.89)
(415.88 x 6.67 = 2773.89)
(333 x 8.33 = 2773.89 -> 2774 rounded) (416 x 6.67 = 2774.72 -> 2775 rounded)
Energy Burn Math
(87 x 8.33 = 724.11)
(108.56221 x 6.67 = 724.11)
(87 x 8.33 = 724 rounded) (109 x 6.67 = 727 rounded)
The JADE will then be comparable/proportional to the Sammael in dps and energy burn, with a slower projectile speed and and shorter range. Now this makes the gun very efficient in delivering dps, so the dps can be lowered if desired, however this is making the JADE a direct proportion to an existing gun.
The JADE, when using 4 of them, will burn 2908 energy per second.
A Sabre has a power core of 10,400, and a recharge of 1,100 per second. This would mean 4 JADE alone would burn into the core at 1808 energy per second at constant fire, depleting the core in 5.75 seconds. Thus this gun has a theoretical DPS, because adding other guns (and a Sabre has 3 other gun points) would drastically drain power. Meaning that this gun will have special uses:
The JADE will then become a short range, burst fire weapon, where you will only get a few shots in with all weapons online, and a little more when you're switching weapon groups to weapons such as pulses.
Another Idea:
The JADE could be altered to have a HUGE power burn, to the point where 4 of them could only shoot 3-4 shots before entirely burning out a powercore.
JADE: (current stats)
Hull Damage: 880

Damage Per Second: 2666.4
JADE: (burst fire stats)
Hull Damage: 1500
Shield Damage: 750
Range: 400 m
Projectile Speed: 600 m/s
Refire Rate: 3.03
Energy Usage: 916
Energy Burn Per Second: 3664
Damage Per Second: 4545
NOW BEFORE YOU SAY NO, think about TRUE DPS, this gun, if you mount 4, on typical Sabre, it will only shoot 3 times, thus effectively being a burst weapon (upon full powercore), shooting only 3 shots in one second. You can decide to use maybe only 2 weapons, thus being able to shoot 6 shots within two seconds. It is just a crazy idea that I came up with. Realistically in this state it will have a MUCH LOWER true dps and only the most skilled will able to make good use of it.
