The Reverse Weapons Concept Mod reverses the roles of Ion Beams and kinetic weapons (think high tech bullets), so that Beams are now weak (anti) fighter weapons, and the turrets are now the main weapons, mostly replaced by the Plasma Bomb Launcher. In particular there's now an artillery piece: the Plasma Bomb Array Frigate that can bombard targets 14km away. There's a few other adjustments, like the Beast's Infection Beam and some ship stat alterations.

The Externally Built (EB) Mod that is included with version 2 is an older version of the Reverse Weapons mod, but with an alteration where Frigates are treated like Super-Capital craft: they can be constructed underneath the Mothership like the Super-Capital vessels but can't dock - apparently to stop the Beast player from quickly acquiring the technology too quickly. Building times for much shipping has been halved as well.

In the authors words: "It is a balancing mod with beam weapons as weak anti strikecraft weapons and projectiles as capital killers. It also contains many fixes for the errors that BD did on the ingame texts and SU rebalancing and catapult like unit to increase strategic options."
