However it wouldn't be useless at range as the range would add an aoe spray mechanic. Likely this would work with a heavy hades variant. Massive fireball at start, then breaks up and can spray over a larger area.

wouldn't that just be the heavy carronade?

Carronade is a spray from the start. There is no solid shot that breaks up at range. It breaks up from the start.
Solid at start and breaking at range could be used to make a cluster bomb gun. Heck this would be a much better Minotaur if the Mino had a solid projectile, then broke up over range. Short range it can blast ships around, long range it spreads out the impact damage meaning it would make it harder to shock a ship off course. One of the things many of us wanted for the Mino from day 1 was an actual projectile. As it sits right now, its just a carronade without the balloon popping. Kinda lazy imo.
The Sky Wolf:
I think we need a 1-shot heavy rocket launcher. Fires 1 large rocket with the ability to completely shatter a pyra's armor in a single hit (using buff + charged rounds), but has a 1 minute reload arming time.
We will call it the Zeus Rocket Launcher, or Hercules Missile Launcher.

The natural step from Artemis would be to her twin brother, Apollo.

Artemis - Goddess of the Hunt, Forests and Hills, the Moon, Archery
Apollo - God of music, poetry, art, oracles, archery, plague, medicine, sun, light and knowledge
Zeus - God of the sky, lightning, thunder, law, order, justice
It's a tough choice, the "Zeus Rocket Launcher" would be super big powerful so its like the father of the artemis which would make sense, but I like the idea of the artemis having a twin brother rocket launcher. Hmmmmmm.
Lanliss:
I was only thinking of their primary themes. Artemis, goddess of the moon. Apollo, god of the (much larger) Sun. Them being twins works all the better. I think Zeus should be the upgrade to the Hades. Ground vs. Heavens sort of thing.
