My only available weap mount is "normal mount"...
Is there a specific research area to develop to have access to heavy and light mounts ? couldn't find that specific field in the list...

You need to be building a ship of 400KT or larger in order to use a Large mount.

If the ship cannot use the mount, then the mount is not shown as an option.

Try researching ship construction.

If the ship cannot use the mount, then the mount is not shown as an option. <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Is this a 'feature' of Gold, cause 1.49 allows you to look at all Mounts?

I added a 'medium mount' for 300kt ships but it appears 'after' Heavy.

Is it safe to move it up in the text file or will this screw things up?

Yes, unless you're in the midst of a game with this mod, then you might find your Heavy mount weapons on all your existing designs transmuted to Medium... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif
