I think what Grumbler, is saying is that each race will have up to five main weapons and five secondary weapons just, the way the AI likes it. Because all races use racial area technology for their weapon technologies, you can use the same weapon family numbers in your AI design creation files.

Might it not be a good idea to use weapon mounts to achieve the Category changes of the weapons?
