    As far as I can tell developers encourage us to use different weapons. (Tips at the bottom of the game tell us that we should try different weapons, plus various weapons in Guild Quests)
    But game also punishes you for using different weapons.
    For example: there's Standard Mortar and Ballpark Mortar Guild Quest. I put these Mortars on my ship. I know that they are weaker than my usual weapons so I expect to drop infamy...
    After a while my battle rewards diminish. I feel like I'm being punished. Um, why? Are we encouraged to use different weapons or not?
    Could a developer comment on this please?

    They tried to take care of this with the quest rework. You are encouraged to use different weapons but only if they are decently leveled. Otherwise your better off with your trickle damage for the quests.

    Before you try a different weapon Make sure it's decently leveled first

    Not necessarily...a weak weapon getting 10x credit is almost always going to outperform your strong weapon getting 1X credit. For example, a Rare L1 standard mortar issues 205 base damage, and there doesn't exist a T5 Epic of any mortar type that deals 2050 base damage.

    The wildcard is how it affects your win ratio considering you lose you get nothing... so there is an argument to be made, but if you balance your boat properly you will almost always be ahead with the specific weapon.
