When you buy a Triad you pick two weapons and apply them to all Vectors in the Triad - they're included in the cost of the Triad. I tried to balance the effectiveness of the weapon picks.

 

I can understand wanting customizable, but I have a few objections. For one thing, Vectors aren't titans, and titans are currently the only customizable thing in the game. Since Tau don't have titans I think this is a good compromise - a non-titan with limited customization. You can't customize Tau battlesuits in NetEpic at all, so having all three Vectors in a detachment have the same weapons makes sense. It's an intermediate step between no customization and complete (titan-like) customization.

 

It's also a matter of practicality - titans are large enough to keep track of (well, in most battles) and have their own data sheets but if I have two or three Triads, I don't want to keep track of several dozen weapon cards. One set per Triad is plenty, IMO.
