ship design questions

from GalCiv2 Forums
i have some questions about ship design.first of all can i design ships with more than one mass driver cannon, or missile launcher or beam cannon? for example can i build a gunship with 4-5 beam cannons?every cannon u add is cumulative to the final attack (1 beam cannon attack 6, 6 beam cannon =36 beam attack)?it is possible to design superships with all 3 types of attack and all types of defense maximized( designing a ship without weak points) or i have to choose between what defense or what attack weapons put in?

Yes you can stack weapons and defenses... infact, I dont see how you could get away WITHOUT doing it in the later stages of the game. Yes you could possibly have a supership with a Jack-of-all-trades-master-of-NONE approach to weapons and defense... but it is better to specialize, imo.

The only thing that limits you is the size of the ship and how much "space" it has... (miniturization techs, increased hull sizes, all things you can research to fit more stuff on your ships)
