Why types of weapons will be getting tweaks and reworks in Odyssey?

Will we see weapon tiericide like no longer needing to train smaller turret specializations for the use of large turrets? To go along with the ship tiericide.?

No. Largely because those aren't tiers GÇö they're size progressions. A small turret is to a medium turret what a frigate is to a cruiser: one size down. You have to train the small turret before the large one just like you have to train the frigate (and, in a month, destroyers) to open up the cruiser.

And just like you have to train rocket specialization before you can train heavy assault missile specialization before you can train torpedo specialization.
Oh wait.

Yes. Those aren't turrets at all! Oh wait, indeed.

No, of course they're not turrets. That has nothing to do with the argument.

The argument that the ship size progression is just like the turret size progression, you mean?
Indeed, it's not. It's quite off-topic.

No. Largely because those aren't tiers GÇö they're size progressions. A small turret is to a medium turret what a frigate is to a cruiser: one size down.

The only tier-like structure you see on weapons is the differentiation between, say, electron, ion, and neutron blasters. However, unlike with the ship tiers GÇö where higher was strictly better GÇö these weapons offer mechanical disadvantages to go along with the higher damage. The point of the ship tiercide was to remove the whole GÇ£higher skill GåÆ strictly better ship GåÆ strictly higher build costGÇ¥ structure; the same linear progression towards GÇ£betterGÇ¥ doesn't exist between the weapon variants.
