Any good explanation of the different weapons and their effect on Sins of a Solar Empire?

I regularly play SoaSE but one thing that I haven't found is a good explanation/tutorial of the differences between the weapons present in the game and their effect on the hull and shield points of the enemy ships.

Any good pointers?


Solution 1:

If you Google Sins of a Solar Empire wiki there a quite a few fan made wikis that could hold the information you seek.

Update: Found this google spreadsheet. Probably as good as you are going to get.
