Both are awful and have awful names.
Wat.
What cruiser is going to get within 1500m of a battleship? And/or care about being zapped for 140k once every 12 seconds? Did you mean gunboats?

I kind of like the shock ray's name though.. I was hoping it was going to be some kind of immobilization weapon like I've hinted at giving BS's in the past.

"Shock Ray" Sounds more like a device to disrupt the power cores.
Maybe they should have their damaged nerfed and extra abilities added, which would make them more useful as utility turrets. In their current state they are hopelessly underpowered.

Or, better yet, bring back Battle Razors, remove Zappers, profit.
Zappers just shoot wherever the gun is aiming, never at your crosshair, so in practice, any ship that's zoomed out is going to find they're absolutely worthless.

I have a GB and it still has razors on it and Pulses...
so at least.

Shock Rays can't even hit a cruiser from 0m. Tested it myself. I aim forward, it shot backwards and hit my friend instead of the one I targeted :|

It takes a special kind of idiot to get nova'd in a gunboat.

This gun sucks infact all rays: suck, as they render anti- snub weapon platforms useless for POBs as they cannot hit snubs fast enough to do any real damage! Please return solarises
