You know one solution for the Absolver Beam problem? Make it unmountable on the current ships.Instead,make my idea is to make completely new ship class(es) that can mount Absolver Beam,and a few other off the 13 weapons,and some new weapons.Basically,each class of ships would have a unique roster of weapons that can be equipped and used.The H&C,Müller,and BX ships could use the original 13,get maybe two or three nee weapons,while other classes of ships(each of which will be suited for different will have some of the old weapons and some new weapons.
The TL;DR of it is this: remove the Absolver Beam from H&C,Müller and BX ships,and put it for other ships that would be able to handle it better,and that new ships added dint need to be compaitable with all the weapons in the game.Having some weapons available for some ships and not available for others can be interesting.
