I repeat what I had posted below.
Weapons were balanced in SE3, where all weapons had the same size.
When they were copied into SE4 they were given different tonnage and that balance was lost.
My proposal is give them the same tonnage again.

Leave PPBs and APBs as they are, but decrease tonnage of other weapons such as torpedoes, high-energy weapons, graviton hellbores to 30 kt to RESTORE SE3 weapons balance and make them valid options again.

PPB should still be among the best weapons, but be one among the many possible choices. Its final stats below APB compensate their initial advantage by skipping normal shields.
