GB solaris turrets are kind of superfluous. Chainfiring your normal GB turrets is more efficient in the areas of dps and energy consumption. No one would miss them if the GB solaris turrets disappeared.

Now if the muzzle speed was increased to 1800 m/s , it would make worthy of consideration.

I don't have any experience with cruiser solaris turrets, but I plan on testing them out. The recent range increase to 900 m isn't as bad as it might appear. I, for one, have trouble hitting bombers at 600-700 m anyway - if the bomber pilot knows what he's doing.

BS solaris turrets are a challenge to balance out amongst the plethora of different BS types. A small, maneuverable BS can use solaris turrets to devastating effect - that we know. On the other end of the spectrum, we have the gigantic BSes which cannot use the turrets to their fullest potential, due mainly to their size. However, in the middle of the BS spectrum we have those vessels that are neither small nor large. How do we classify them? That may be quite a chore.

I've suggested before that BSes get a certain type of solaris turret according to their size. Maybe we could go with 3 types of turrets, that have their respective ranges set according to BS size.
