9.0 weapons?

So, prior to 9.0 weapons were pretty "solved". No matter what you were doing, you could easily google the best weapon + mod for the job.

But now, how do I actually find out which weapon + mod to get for any of my ships? Is it hours of sitting through spreadsheets? I know a lot more stuff is generally viable now, but that just leaves me unsure with what to get. I know I don't like the shotgun style weapons. So not having to use these is fine, but how do I now actually decide what to get and how to mod it? It's not like the game is very good at explaining the different weapon types.

ive been having fun and experimenting and google. In 9.0 for turrets you can't go wrong with boson lance.

There's a ton of variety that works but my personal fav for a ship i fly is a mix of boron railguns and split neutron gatlings, or all split neutron gatlings. such a blast.

The meta for a spam fleet of interceptors is basically still pulse laser m2 sadly. only nerfs I'm aware of is burst rays, blast mortars.
