Reviews and Balance Issues: Red Hardpoint Modules

Based on your comments, you clearly are new at the game. As such are extremely unqualified to give "balance" feedback.

The human weapons are all starting points...NONE of them are really any good compared to versions from other races or other special weapons.

Human energy cannon is the ONLY way to bring down enemy shields early on at long range. It supplies a constant stream of shield-defeating damage once per second, ensuring your projectile cannons can do actual damage. Upgrading to autofire is usually a bad plan since it reduces the constant-barrage allowing a shield-recharge to block a whole volley of projectiles.

Projectile cannon is the ONLY way to do actual hull damage of significance early on at long range. You get 1 energy cannon, and a bunch of projectile cannons until you find better. Its upgrades aren't all that good, although in theory the cannon could be strong if fully upgrade which costs an absolute fortune and is not practical. (i.e. 4 burst, 80 hull/20 shield damage, but horrid recycle time). Every time you upgrade something, something else gets worse. I usually take 1 Burst upgrade so range matches energy cannon and 50% more firepower (at a bit of accuracy loss).

Lasers are really best against enemy fighters since they will shoot while your longer range weapons engage capitol ships. In Hard you cant fight with just 1 laser, so you have to go with Bays or with Energy/Projectile combo.
In easy, yes you can stack up lasers and win but you wind up with too much overkill-damage where you have 5 lasers all shooting 1 stupid fighter.
Lasers are also decent for anti-shield if you happen to pick up and use Vulcan cannon, Flak cannon or other shorter range high damage weapon.

You cant really afford rockets,Missiles, etc. You certainly cannot afford a Teleporter on hard and getting something that does 0 damage is really dumb early on, cuz you need firepower.
