Can these use any weapon, or just the weapons allowed for other WYN ships?

Well, WYN owned Orion ships have never been truly addressed by Federation Commander. Perhaps that would be a nice little addition to (5L) at some point ...

Going by the general SFU, these are the limitations I would present:
- WYN Orion ships may not use engine doubling.
- WYN Orion ships may freely use the following weapons: Disruptor, Drone, Ph-1, Ph-2, Ph-3, ADD, ESG.
- WYN Orion ships may have other weapons (e.g. plasma, photon, Ph-G) under a specific scenario rule (or at the agreement of all players) but this is a highly unusual situation.

Is anything like this going to be in Hydran Attack? (Since there are some WYN ships included, and some were in Distant Kingdoms).

Actually, are rules for the full WYN fleet anywhere? If so, that would probably be the best place for these.

Maybe it could be something for Communique or a page in CL#40. Something like the mini ship descriptions found in Briefing #2.

I always assumed that WYN owned Orion ships were fitted out the same as other WYN ships, because they don't belong to the Orion Pirate "empire", they are part of the WYN "empire", just as (for example) the Klingon or Lyran captured ships (or Seltorian or Gorn(!) ships in captain's log) are. And they wouldn't get to double engines because WYNs can't double engines - only Orion Pirate ships can do that.

Of course, in a WYN cluster defense scenario, an Orion-design ship could be either a WYN owned ship, or a Cluster Cartel mercenary.
