Analysis: Xeno Guns

[Sand-Viper]

I'm giving this a bump. Seeing as how the community loved the idea of a 650m/s 8.33 with ludicrously high damage and energy requirements, I'm inclined to stick to my guns (Hah!) and Dev Request Suntigers as 8.33s. But, it was mentioned by Antonio that a 6.67 would make more sense/offer more refire variety to Xenos, since the Legion offers the Xenos an 8.33 already. That being said, the entire purpose of re-vamping Suntigers was to advocate for Xenos using their own tech over Legion guns/ships in the first place, so perhaps an 8.33 isn't such a bad thing, especially given the mold-breaking high range/low projectile speed.

Given the overwhelming support of Proposal #4, pre-updated stats (12/17 votes at time of this post!), I'm inclined to go with the people's popular choice. Before I put in a Dev Request, should I post a 2nd thread to allow people to re-vote between Proposal #4 Versions 1 and 2, or just go ahead with the Request after any final thoughts posted in this thread?

Also: Weapon Typing. What should the final damage type be if we go with 8.33s? Tachyon? I do tend to think that an 8.33 Particle might be a bit too overbearing, with how much damage it offers.
