Fight 1
The tech building cannon argument is the only one for FireDir that I find convincing - overall, the functionality seems rather stupid to me. Contrary to others in this fight, I can very much imagine SWs on infantry - in the realm of fantasy, in Warcraft-like scenarios. Having a shaman conjure up a lightning storm, or a dark magician spawn an evil golem makes perfect sense, and the latter has been done in multiple RTSs.
And some warship carrying an EMP super weapon to attack the enemy seems perfectly fine as well.
Besides, you're all thinking in terms of YR's multi-minute-loading, super-strong super weapons.
What stops me from creating a 1-minute-loading, doubly-strong ion-cannon-like SW, and making that the "primary weapon" of a hacker?
Just because something is using the "super weapon" systems doesn't mean it actually has to be "super" ingame.
Given that no really new logic is required, either, I'd suspect it to be easier to implement as well.
Therefore, I support the SWs.

Fight 2
While the underlying issue of #555 is understandable, the proposed feature, as it is presented, is just silly. Issue #993, after generalization, would be more flexible for this kind of stuff.
While I find the argumentation for #935 to be rather silly ("Yay! We could have a missile battery that could do everything it can already do right now...only slower!"), generalizing existing functionality for increased flexibility makes sense and should be easier to do.
