I'm not sure what you're asking.

I see two possible questions here. The first is if gravity should effect damage and to hit rolls for balistic weapons on planets with non-earth gravity. I wouldn't change damage and to attack roll should at most get a -2 for familiarity at longer ranges. If you have to roll artillery, there is no effect, as long as you have the gear and information you need to properly aim on this planet.

The second is if ST requirements for weapons change with gravity. I don't know about that one.
