An interesting and quite sensible concept I (and hopefully someone on the Dev Team) thought of...
Wouldnt it make sense for equipment utilized by alien/foreign ships to be slightly less potent then when they're used by the race that made them?
This could be represented by any number of effects depending on the weapon and who uses it... Cl2000's could have a higher energy consumption and recharge time used on a K'Luth ship, for example, because of the conflict between the technological/biological nature of the two races ships.
Likewise it would be hard for humans to duplicate the mthods the K'Luth use to power their Antimatter weapons/drives, and even the ICC and UGTO would have their differences and it would be harder to use each other's tech.
You could have weapons with less power, higher recharge time, higher energy consumption, less ammo etc.
Not enough to make it useless to use the weapon, but just make it a little more cumbersome when it's used in the wrong hands.

It is rather strange that a bio-organic ship can mount a Ginormus
Cl2k without any problems
