Ion Cannon (Class 9 Turret - Cruiser Capship Weapon)

Hull Damage: 4250
Shield Damage: 2125
Range: 2500m
Speed: 800 m/s
Refire: 10.00
Energy: 3,000
(Life: 3.125 seconds)

Use an elongated projectile, in order to simulate a beam effect with the refire rate. We know that 10.00 refire wont lag the server too badly, as we had 16.67 refire chainguns in 4.84 and even a ship loaded with those wouldnt cause much stress.

This is meant as a counterpart for the Light Mortar / Light Trebuchet, it has the same damage per second and energy consumption rate, but takes sustained fire to deal the same amount of damage, instead of being a burst damage weapon.

Mass Driver (Class 9 Turret - Cruiser Capship Weapon)

Hull Damage: 666
Shield Damage: 333
Range: 1400m
Speed: 1400m/s
Refire: 8.33
Energy: 1200

Give it a solid projectile (something similar to solaris), and have it sound like a physical weapon instead of an energy weapon (it's meant to be shooting actual bullets at the target). Designed as an anti-bomber weapon for use on battlecruisers only - it uses too much energy to be effective on cruisers (10,000 energy per second), but right now solaris turrets do not work well at all on battlecruisers due to restricted range.
