I've been thinking about how minor things (in the grand scheme of
things) could change design, doctrine, tactics, and even strategy, and
the one thing I kept returning to when it came to ship design was how
you could Min/Max your ships with regards to spinal weapons (at least in
CT and MT, I really don't know about the others) and how that drove
purely statistical design.  So what happens to design when you remove
them?  I added Meson and PA bay weapons as well, though I doubt that
they'd have much of an impact whether they were there or not when facing
other large capital ships.
