Hey Gang, Unless I'm missing something I noticed in my first game that the rollover text describing the MiniBall tech in the trade screen is misleading. While I did indicate that it leads to MiniBall II, it states that the tech doesn't add any new ship components but then I see in the more full tech explanation that it does add new types of railguns. I almost skipped on the tech trade thinking this minor race was trying to trade me some BO

Hey Knowers of Stuff, 2 Quickies here: 1) Are there any subtle but inherent differences between the three weapons types? Like do missiles, for example, tend to fire slower but do more damage compared to the beams or guns of the same level? 2) Can ships suffer system damage or is it an all or nothing affair (working at full power until their last hit point is spent)?
