Idea for future PBW - Conceptual Empires

[Taera]

Okay, here is the list of weapons, divided into MAIN and SUPPORT Groups.
My first proposal is that players choose one of each.
However, weapons can be divided into MAIN, HEAVY and SUPPORT and players would have to choose one of each.
Alternatively i can rate them on a point-based system.

Should i translate the abbrevations?
MAIN
DUC
APB
MB
PPB
Torpedoes
NSP
GH
CSM/PM
High-Energy

Support
Tractor/Repulsor
SDepleter/SDistruptor
ID/Ionic Missile
Planetary Weapons (including plague)
Comp Combat+Warp Guns (i dont know, both are rather high-leveled weapons, but can be quite devastating en-masse i think)

Further thoughts:

• Design a mod which would scale mounts down
• Game should be played with MED tech start
• In the same mod move weapons that are too high up the tech tree down
• Increase base cost of PPB to 10k, or make it into 12 levels
