Weapon Families - what exactly do they specify?

I think it is used when "show latest" option is used in the ship design and creation window. It is used to group the items together.

Actually, I think "Weapon Family" is used by the AI ship design files to specify which weapons will be used in a particular design.

Yep, weapon families are for the AI for weapon choices. Look in the AI Design Creations txt. It will have 'Majority weapon Familiy pick' 1 through 5 and 'Secondary Weapon Family Pick' 1 thru 5. these are the choices of weapons for a ship in order of preference and research.(IE, 30 is shard Cannon, 2 is Capital Missile, 37 is temporal Shifter, etc.)
