Why? What was wrong with that weapon?

I'd give Organic Manipulation its weapons back... they are not really more powerful than normal weapons, and take a huge amount of research to get.

It's related to the new focus each tech has.
Psy = insidious and subtle. So they get happiness improvement, ship/fleet training, enhanced intel points generation, subvertion technics. It just doesn't fit in direct damage.
Organic = reproduction, and by consequence faster empire spawning. So replication centers are more important now, and you need less research to get it.
Temporal = speed and event predicton. That's why they have techs to improve ship speed, construction speed, and better combat sensors -> they predict where the target will be.
Crystalline = armor and cannons. This one, and only this one, can make ships that dishes out more damage and can sustain it. At least throught low-mid levels.
I avoid giving a bit of other areas to each to maintain it's uniqueness, seems to add more flavor to each race and gameplay. Also your choices are more important, they have more impact on your empire.
