"Official" weapons systems / fighters

Subject: "Official" weapons systems / fighters

It has been mentioned in the Fleet Book that certain weapons are not
part of the official universe and simply included for use with other
backgrounds.  The question is, which weapons _are_ part of the GZG
universe?

Of course everything found in the Fleet Book designs is easy, but how
about the others?  Specifically, do any ships in the fT universe use
needle beams, missiles (seeking types from MT) or any of the other
weapons I may have forgotten?

What about fighters?  There are miniatures for fighters, interceptors
and heavy fighters.  Are the other types not used, or are they just not
specifically represented in miniature?

I'm just wondering, as I start to think of 'concept ships' and other
designs, what kind of guidelines to use.
