You know, part of the "complete from ground up" revamping I am slowly pondering for the Solarian, would have their primary ability score switched to *Constitution*. Setting logic would be "Solarians channel cosmic forces, this requires physical rigor". It would give them a somewhat distinct niche as a combatant, while also not simply making them Soldier Mk 2.
I was thinking about Constitution as the primary attribute of a theoretical ranged solarian-type, but because it involved techno-organic weapons and one's health was required to make powerful ranged attacks with the bone needles or thorns or whatnot.
I use Wisdom for Solarians (and Charisma for Mystics) as a homerule

basically, the armor solarian has better light armor than anyone else.
the weapon solarian has a great weapon.
they both get nifty stuff on top of that.
i think they are kinda equivalent, with maybe an edge to the armor solarian since their armor is unequivocally better than what anyone else has.
but...
star weapon!

Added now, in Armory thrre are a series of Solar Armor only revelations, including DR 10 E/So available at level 2.
