Ahh, but i see that. Yet at the same time, for most (me included) balance is if WE win..barely. Then its balance. To translate the point above into a more...brutal way, is, that there is no such thing as balance. If you want balance, give a gun that is a one hit kill and has a 7k/sec, so, both the cap can hit the bomber and vise versa. Then its balance as both can kill eachother with relevate ease, the size withstanding.
Well..look at it this way. If you give the solaris a speed of 1k a sec and increese the range to 4k, it would still take four seconds to hit the target..noone flys a straight line so long.
Well..look. What i see here is just people who had a bad day and blame the weapons. Ive seen xenos diced and added to the scrap field by a LNS flacks and an OC dessies solaris turrets without only a few SNs from their side. The weapons are fine enough, its just that we need to get used to them.
