Solaris Codename

[Ascendancy]

There are Codenames out there that have different ranges and projectile velocities, I'm not 100% about all of them being a little off from the standard 699 meter/600 m/s velocity, the one I do know of however is the Golden Blade has a 757 meter range and 650 m/s velocity.

Now, of course I'd be in favour of having the Solaris kept at 699/600, because it syncs with my Reaper Mk V's and Diamondbacks perfectly. Rate of fire I'd still like to see either 8.33/5.88, something greater than 3.03 or 4.00.

Honestly I would (now that I think about it) like to see the return of the Chain Gun Solaris, the Class 10 beast but minus the sniper like range and velocity, because Colada del Cids are Corsair specific and Purple Goddesses just, well, suck.

If I had my view of the Chain Gun Solaris coming back, I think the stats would be somewhere along these lines:

Hull Damage: 285
Shield Damage: 143
Damage Type: Laser
Rate of Fire: 8.33
Range: 650 meters
Projectile Velocity: 600 meters per second
Energy Use: 80-85/shot

Cost: $335,000

The infocard would probably say, "Chain Gun Solaris was developed by The Order and Corsairs, like the capital ship turret, but can be found all across Sirius (see: guard systems). Its rate of fire is lower than the Purple Goddess, but has exceptional damage."

Of course then it would null the fact its a codename weapon, but you could just make the existing Solaris Codename the rarer, slower firing, higher damage weapon than the common Chain Gun Solaris. I'm not 110% about my idea, okay, I love the weapon and I loved it as a super powerful Class 10.
