Xeno Shatter Driver

"The Xeno Shatter Driver fires a long range Alien projectile, that shatters on impact into an arc of multiple projectiles, hitting any targets behind it."

General
The Xeno Shatter Driver is an advanced version of the Shatter Driver with superior damage, built-in magnets and deals Alien Damage, taking on a green coloration instead of blue in combat.

The secondary projectiles travel much faster than in the regular and heavy version: 4,500 m/s and 4,950 m/s for levels I and II respectively.

Advantages
Xeno Shatter Drivers have even better mass efficiency than Heavy Shatter Drivers. They have increased projectile speed which frees up a special slot and reduces the mass needed to use this weapon effectively. Some people equip Xeno Siege Casing with this weapon on destroyers for extra damage against modules.

Xeno Shatter Drivers also benefit from faster secondary projectiles, allowing the shatter to more reliably hit ships that are further away from the main target.

Disadvantages
Xeno Shatter Drivers cannot be accelerated, capping their maximum speed at around 3 km/s and making them easier to dodge than Heavy Shatter Drivers equipped with Iridium Magnets V.

While they have the highest listed DPS out of all Xeno Division Ship Weapons, Xeno Shatter Drivers also weigh significantly more and are less mass-efficient compared to them. They are weak to rush attacks similar to the regular Shatter Driver.

Trivia

 * The Xeno Shatter Driver fails to hit targets at the very edge of maximum range with its primary shot, effectively only doing 50% DPS instead of 66.7%.
 * This is the first weapon with different projectile speeds based on level.
 * This weapon is no longer available to Umbra hulls after the late April 2019 update to facilitate the rock-paper-scissors system between T7 factions. Existing items will be replaced by Blight Atomic Driver in the May 2019 update.
 * Along with other T6 equipment, this item's build time was significantly reduced during the late April 2019 update as summarized here.
