FWIW, Rapid Fire compared to Drone Blast:
(Note: Jett has no (A)FA.)
Rapid Fire: 330% dmg, 1 hit, 120 ms delay at all speeds
-> 330% * (1000/120) = 2,750% / sec
-> 1000/120 = 8.33 hits / sec
Drone Blast: 160% dmg, 8 hits, 900 ms delay at Normal (6) -> 690 at Faster (2)
-> 160% * 8 * (1000/690) = 1,855% / sec
-> 8 * (1000/690) = 11.59 hits / sec
Neither one benefits more from crits / ignore def / boss / etc. than the other. Only thing to note is that the godly funded would probably prefer to max Drone Blast over Solar Array since Drone Blast hits more times per sec than Rapid Fire (thus being their bossing move), and Solar Array is inferior to Suborbital Bombardment except for vertical range. Plus, Drone Blast takes more funding to hit damage cap, so it's got that going for it too.
