I am a bit curious, How do you find out if the weapons are good or not?
As, in my current game, I all my small weapons users are using Berserk lasers, I was using Maze and got Tetsubo guns in stock.
Second, one of my crafts are using a Precursor heavy gun.

Are there anything special to go for in weapons or just go for what you like?
Hello!

Generally, you want to go for high accuracy for all weapons, especially for your fighters. The higher the accuracy the more damage you will dish out. Although, during the end game, your mother ship should carry the highest damage dealing guns you can afford, regardless of accuracy. For your fighters, heavy weapon lasers are the best way to go. Very powerful. Also, make sure you upgrade the sniper perk.
Missiles are good but you run out of ammo so quickly! They are not so useful in my opinion. The torpedo is useful however so you will need those especially during the end game.
Hope it helps!!

Thanks. It will be of assistance.
Say, when do you get a team-member capable of adapting your ships to use Berserk-tech? I've had a bunch of Berserk Lasers lying around in my hold for what feels like ages... starting to wonder if it wouldn't be better to sell them and count on getting some more later.

i'd say about 1/3 of the way through, you get a character that allows you to use the berserker guns. it's a perk that you have to choose, however, if i remember correctly. but you also get many, many berserk lasers, so you can safely sell off large quantities of them.
There's a second character later on who also has access to this perk, and for that one it seems to be easier to reach. In their case it also leads to perks to use... other unusual weapon types, which the first character doesn't have.
