I just must say, those charts dont matter much.
You can easily design a killer with mesons and a sucker with null-space. Each weapon has its, sometimes unique, uses. I recommend researching various weapons (maybe in different games) and see each one's effectivity in those particular cases.

As a general, PPB and Null-Space are quite powerful and require special counters. All racial weapons, with no exclusion, are powerful, but only when used right.
Certain special weapons (tractor/repulsor, ionic dispenser, tachyon projector, wormhole beam and so on) are useful but must be used with caution and not relied upon.
