Greetings, all!

It is probably obvious that the weapon tables for each given weapon category in High-Tech are much more rich than the Ultra-Tech tables (which are more comparable to Basic Set's selection - a single 10mm Storm Carbine, a single 7mm Assault Rifle etc.). Now, obviously GMs can add variety by writing up similar yet not identical weapons. The question is, what guidelines should be followed that there aren't any Überwaffen in the new tables? There are supposed to be tradeoffs, but what should be used for said tradeoffs?

Thanks in advance!
