Ok then Mike, will do.
What about the weapon types? Would it be possible to increase the number of types? Currently there are only two types of energy weapon and 2 types of secondary weapon. Maybe i'm being overly pedantic, but some of the weapons that the minor races have don't perfectly match these types. If we could come up with some extra weapon types, I could fit them in better, and it would mean we could put more eye candy effects in the game too.
It would also be nice if I could perhaps specify the weapon colour or something. If the weapons were objects then you would just need to add different colour textures and it would be a whole new weapon! 
For example, we could have:
Energy Weapons
Beam (Already implemented, constant stream of energy)
Pulse (Already implemented, small, fast, multiple hits of energy)
Bolt (As in Disruptors, a large, single, moderately fast hit of energy)
Wave (Limited range, but an expanding wave of energy that may hit multiple ships or shields depending on how shields work. Like the from Starfleet Command 2)
Matter Stream (Weapons that send streams of destructive particles at an enemy. The particles disperse over distances and so lose their effectiveness as the range increases. Like the from Starfleet Command 2. Early Vulcan and Andorians ships used these)
Secondary Weapons
Torpedo (Already implemented)
Missile (Already implemented)
Explosive Charge/Mine
Could it be done? Obviously the above list is just possibilities, and people may decide to change/remove/add to it in future.

Wait for mike to see what he has on mind.
