Thanks for the watch and favs.
You like Firestorm Armada ships, or just space ships in general? I have more Firestorm models to paint... and photograph now that I think about it...

Both. I've got some FA rules and books, but I admit I'm somewhat less familiar with it than a similar game, Dropzone Commander. I admit I've found some of the ship stats as given in the books rather odd, since they're not very specific with regards to weapons (only weapon categories in many cases), and I've gotten the impression that such information is only with the specific ship models themselves. But I might be wrong on that.
With Dropfleet, the naval portion of DZC, all of the information is in the books as well as with some of the models. So even if you can't make time to play much or buy the ships, you can still have an idea of what they do to a degree from the book stats.

FA never worried about the types of weapons beyond "direct fire" and "torpedoes". At least not for their first edition. Their second edition (which sadly came too late to save the game in an official manner) did provide some differences between races and what weapons they actually carried. If you are wondering about "18 plasma cannons" kind of information, I don't recall that being mentioned anywhere.
I really liked a lot of FA's ships. They had a lot of interesting designs for them. My favorite race was the Aquians, and I loved placing down minefields. Only downside was their short range, but I had made a reasonable custom ship (something you could do in the first edition) that helped to address this problem. Later expansions, such as heavy cruisers, did help to balance this point a bit... but I was broke back then and still am now.
(As a note, the custom ship creator was fun, but did have it's flaws. If one wanted to min/max, they could make crazy powerful ships on the cheap... Had a fellow player ruin custom ships because he did just that...)
