The gunboat and cruiser ones cost the same as the BS version even though the BS turret does over 3x as much hull damage a shot.
The reason they cost that much is because they're still excellant at dropping shields and their refire rate is 8.33. Plus the solaris turrets do more damage per second then any other 'normal' turret, they're only beaten by Battle-razors and infernos.
Yes corsair turrets have the same refire but they have alot less damage then the solaris.
If any turrets need to have their price lowered then it's the gunboat and cruiser ones, not the BS one.
I know that at least 8 solaris BS turrets can strip the shield off and kill a cruiser before the cruiser can drop the BS's shield, therefore the price for solaris BS turrets is fine.
