I've noticed a nerf in a set of faction guns from the Vanilla ones

[mjolnir]

I checked the current stats then and compared with similar guns (750 m/s / 8.33 )

Skyblast B 226 damage, power 63 per shot = 1882 damage per second, 521 energy per second = 3.59 eff
Daito 242 damage, power 70 per shot = 2015 damage per second, 583 energy per second = 3.46 eff
Sammael 265 damage, power 72 per shot = 2207 damage per second, 599 energy per second = 3.68 eff

Sammael is clearly best, but LR ships are rather big targets so don't see any problem there, I use Sammaels and find them great on LR ships. Daitos are rather very good as well. Off course neither of these guns are very good 1vs1, but here small GMG ships have an advantage.

GMG HF and Stinger are not far from current Blood Dragon fighter, so I don't think Skyblasts can be better than Daitos, different yes.

Either:
a) a bit more energy efficient - by energy use down to some 60 per shot
or
b) a bit more damage with same efficiency - 232 damage for 65 energy
