Just one comment, that I think explains at least some of the
difference in viewpoint...

..because most of the games played by many people (though not
you & your group, I know, but it is something to always keep in
mind), even with custom-designed ships, use human tech only.  So
you don't *have* scatterguns (or MKPs) to work with.

Apart from that (and I don't have my rules books handy), I
thought that scatterguns were downgraded from the MT version in
FB2?  Not sure what version of what you're using in your game,
but I *think* it's different... so many people wouldn't be using
scatterguns even on Kra'vak.  (And lots of people don't have MT
anyway.)

Or I could be mixed up a bit (it's been a while since I played!)
but the human tech-only custom ships comment still stands.
