Are these purely cosmetic (for differentiating types of weapons as strings) or will designating, say, a anti-fighter missile as a WeaponClassType "PLASMA" cause problems? Do they inherently have any damage effects or is that all determined by the AttackType?
As i recall they are used pretty much solely for assigning what research should affect the weapon, possibly they effect what abilities affect them as well (here I'm thinking of the energy weapons boost).
Terraziel is right. The AttackType (ANTIMEDIUM, ANTIVERYHEAVY, etc) is the only thing that really matters. Regarding the energy weapons boost, that's the PHYSICAL/ENERGY toggle. I've never seen it used for anything else.
Alright, thanks. Just wanted to make sure I wouldn't run into any problems.
