Number of possible weapons?

I just started modding SoaSE. Got my mod folder up and running and had a test model in-game to make sure I was doing everything right. I am so far, but I have a question for anyone that might be able to help. Does anyone know the maximum number of different weapon types that can be on a ship?

I know there are 3 different types ("weapon-0" through "weapon-2") on all the existing models. The models that I am adding have more than 3 weapons on their hulls though.

I believe that you can only have 3 types of weapons (like a beam, missile, and autocannon) however you can have many banks of said weapon. For instance the kol has 4 beam weapons on the front which would be weapon-0. Autocannons would be weapon-1 and whatever weapon 3 is would be weapon-2.

I'm at work right now so I can't test anything, but this morning I set up my test model to see if more than 3 weapons works. I hope to be able to get the results by the end of the day.

As far as I know, ships are currently limited to 3 different weapon types, but the mesh can take on 30 firing points (10 per weapon). Planetary bombardment does not count as a weapon type.

It can take on 10 firing points per side per weapon. For a total of 40 per weapon, or 120 for all weapons. Thats a lot of firing points.

Oh, well that's even better

The firing points can be there for more weapons, but the game does not recognize them. Thanks for the answers. Very helpful indeed... and rather disappointing
