Just a thought:
I'm guessing that the only downside to lots of cool gizmos is that the AI will build them but not use them or use them correctly.
Second thought: the AI for the mentioned mods has been adjusted or the games are mostly for non AI games.
I have a Short Range High Intensity external mount PDC that fires every other turn. It is meant as backup for the standard PDC. Unfortunately the AI puts it on their ships without standard PDC for backup.
PDC = Point Defense Cannon.
