Just a couple things I thought I'd throw out there.
Salvo Launchers - Modified version of IT/AR/Psi Missile launchers. Launches multiple missiles at once, but has a much higher cooldown and a much lower ammo count. The cooldown would be slightly longer than the time it would take a conventional launcher to fire the same number of missiles, so there'd be a trade-off.
Coilguns - Cannons ideal for use on capital ships. Lots of shots per salvo but spread over a greater span of time. Mid-low projectile speed, very high damage per volley, mid-high range, high energy use, low recharge. Explosive shells, so damage does not fall off over range. Unlike most weapons it becomes vastly more effective at higher levels; it wouldn't be worth mounting on anything smaller than a Cruiser. Basically, it's the ideal weapon for cruiser and dread slugging matches.

the coilgun is a good idea for ICC if they don't get the Particle cannons.
