Section 1 of Balanced system: Weapons

As some have given me ideas to deviate from the "Balancing System Thread" I will make separate sections and go into detail each specific element of the game eg. weapons, ships etc.

(Goal) The primary goal of this idea is to remove the sheer unbalanced aspect of hitting high damage and add some sort of new aspect in which almost every item will have a certain buff and debuff to fully balance out the effect, thus making for some interesting match ups and battles, You will be able on some items to purchase them for either credits or uridium, whichever suits your fancy
