Ground weapons and skills

I wish to know if the points you put into phaser at tier 3 correlates to improvement in damage of phaser ground weapons, or if it only benefits the space weapons. My one casual test showed higher damage with phaser than anti-proton with otherwise identical items and identical foes. That character had 9 points in phaser and none in anti-proton. It could have been a statistical anomaly, or the foes were less resistant to the phaser.

I figured if there was such a correlation there should be people who have already tested it. If there is no correlation then perhaps we can find out which races are vulnerable to what type weapon and equip accordingly, but if there is a correlation we should spec our ground weapons like we do our space weapons.

    Only space weapons. To improve damage with ground weapons, there are ranks to be obtained in the Tactical tree. Like Firearms is a good example. That improves damage from specific ground weapons.

    Only tactical officers can specialize in ground damage, as far as I know. It's not associated to the energy type, but rather the weapon type (assault, rifle, pistol, martial arts, etc).
