Two players could have torpedo weapons, and while one player researched excellent range and accuracy, the other researched damage only.

Or better, Player A researches the range and accuracy; he will ccurately ping you, repeatedly, from long range.

Player B focussed on build-cost and damage. He doesn't hit terribly often, and has to get right up close to even try ... but he's got LOTS of the blighters, and when they hit, something goes *boom* in a [b]BIG[/] way.

Meanwhile, Player C went for range and damage; long range, not terribly accurate, with good punch; Player D went for accuracy and build cost; lots and lots of hyper-accurate close-range "ping"-ing ...

And so on.
