Thier shoul be a boutton that you press the switch between weapons like so
USS Zeus
Excelsior-II Class

Has Multyphaseic shields and normal shelds
Has Phasers and Disrupters
Has Quantium Photonic and light Tricobalt Torpedos
with the push of a boutton that opens a menue like the build button for
ships and stations you can change between the weapons
the weapons used are mostlikely 2 have bean aquirerd by tech trade

note:NOT A SPECIAL WEAPON ITS A BOUTTON THAT YOU CHOSE WHITCH WEAPON AND SHIELDS 2 USE

I get it... but that would make it horribly imbalanced I would have to add... Once you make ships "jack of all trades" they render all other ships in an rts useless, do you see? Each ship should have a specific role, with specific weapons to complete it. As it is, there are too many ships in flops that have overlapping roles, which make us spam small ships as a result (the ultimate jacks: cheap, hard to target, and relatively strong weaponery in numbers).

i don't think thats a very playable idea, just because you would spend far more time in configurating your vessels then actually blowing something up with them. maybe as a side feature for a small set of units for a future race

ya I have brought up micro managing before but we need less if we can not more but like the idea
