This is entirely dependant on what path your empire chooses. Iv'e probably played hundreds of games and Iv'e never run out of weapons research by turn 70. If you're doing that then your empire is most likely being unattended in other areas.
Ahhh... go back and read what I said. I didn't say I ran out of weapons to research. Rather, I said that I ran out of 'decent' weapons to research. I'm one of those crazy PPB-loving fools who stops researching weapons after I get PPB V's.
If I had money, I'd offer a reward to the person who could design a ship using any other weapon in the game and match it up against the PPB V. (I'm talking my PPB V ship vs. an AI ship, of course. I'm sure a careful human player could make even a lousy weapon like the WMG III seem okay.)
