Loroi ship anomalies

Ok so the title of this topic is probably inaccurate as there is probably a perfectly logical explanation for all of these.
And yes I am one of those nerds who spends far to long staring at the made-up statistics for fictional space ships...
Anyway having looking at the info for Loroi ships on Insider I've noticed some "oddities".
I'll start with the Sabre class command cruiser, which is noted as being built in large numbers during the Semoset offensive which seems a bit odd for a command ship. I assume their "command" function is carrying out squadron command duties similar to the Tsunami, Black Razor and Winter's Tide in SG-51.
Also they are described as being heavily armed yet their only offensive armament is 2 pulse cannon mounts which seems low compared to ships like the Katana (which is admittedly somewhat larger and modern) and even the latest versions of the Scimitar.
Next the presence of pulse cannons on Emperor Eighth Dawn's flagship which was destroyed in 2140 when (according the Timeline) the Historians didn't even agree to share the technology (i.e. before any period required for development) that produced the pulse cannon until the next year.
Finally the Eye of Heaven being armed with medium lasers, a weapon not present on any other Loroi ship, and also (presumably) of a technological level similar to the Terrans. I thought this might be because it is an older ship than most of the others, but it also has a Wave Loom which I would imagine a ship has to be basically built around and not something you can refit to an older hull.
Anyway these are just things that seemed odd to me...
