Are some techs/wepons useless?

[Triumvir Emphy]

The point of different weapons is also cost, nobody here in this thread has said anything about cost, just how effective one weapon is compared to an other.

If you are metal heavy but have a severe lack in organics and radioactives, maybe Duc's are the best weapon for you, if you are radioactive heavy maybe nullspace weapons are it.

this game still is a game of economics, hence so many weapons that seem to be useless.
