I'd suggest either making weapons a tad more powerful or armour a tad less powerful. As it is You can still bLast thru shields with relative ease but when it comes to armour most weapons just arnt powerful enough to penatrate them. When you do get thru your left with the feeling that armour may be more affective than shielding all together!

Note these is 1.69 Version I havnt tried it with the new mounts yet.

Also the supply usage for the Borg ripper beam seams quite steep as it doesnt penetrate either shields or armour and cannot fire on anything but ships and planets, compared to the Borg Tachyon gun which takes far less supplies and skips shields and can fir on anything, tho with less range and fire power.

I do somewhat agree about weapon range now, as you often have to get right up close in order to have a decent % of hitting your target with Torps, etc.
