as you can see, from version 5.0 to patch 5.1, the number of possible loadouts dropped drastically. What makes matters worse is that some of the new guns that should improve choices are fabricated and can't be bought from NPCs, so most of us is stuck with tachyon/mortar/solaris gat (3 options) for heavy and another 3 options for Defense, which is a wimpy permutation of 3^4 for a 4 slot cruiser and 3^3 for a 3 slotter.
