So can you recover Tesseract ships? Was I just not lucky enough or maybe do I lack the Automated Ships skill?
Also can you somehow acquire more of those insane weapoons? I salvaged a few of them. They are absolutely crazy. Id like to try my Paragon out with 4 Rift Cascade Emitters. Is that somehow possible?

By default you cannot recover Tesseracts at all. In vanilla there's two hypershunts and a special bounty that contain Tesseracts, plus the cache in Alpha Site and that's your sole sources of that special weaponry in the entire game.

Mods let you bend all those rules, of course, if you so desire.

In unmodded game, there are only five Tesseracts.  It is highly unlikely player will get four Rift Cascade Emitters out of five Tesseracts.  If player is unlucky, he may not even find one in the game.

Perhaps the craziest of the Omega weapons are the missiles, especially AMSRMs and Resonators.

If you want a game where you work up to exotic weapons for your whole fleet, the Tahlan Shipworks mod (if I recall correctly) adds a feature to the Academy where you can turn in your Tesseract weapons to get blueprints for lesser derived versions of the same tech.

Aww this is disappointing. I wanted to try out a Paragon with 4 Rift Torpedo Launchers and full Missile Spec skills
I also read the other day that they are "balancing" a new Battleship class in 0.96 so that it wont have 4 forward facing Large Missile Hardpoints but only 2 and 2 of them will face backwards. Where is the fun in that? The game really needs a pure missile boat. Gryphon just doesnt cut it imo as the ability it has can only be used once.

Seeker mod has a ship that uses missiles exclusively.

this mod adds them:

Locusts, Hurricanes(?), that new pilum catapult, and probably a bunch of those fancy DEMs should work nicely on those back missile hardpoints.

Okay I must admit I did try the Paragon out with 4 Rift Torpedo Launchers with a bit of cheating: I found and defeated the last Tesseracts so killing all 4 which cost me dearly and lost a bunch of ships. That fight is epic tbh this game is epic anyway lets move on. Of course this time they all dropped different large weapons so in my mind I was like "Okay lets say I can have up to 4 large Omega weapons of my choise at any given time". So I console command added 3 more RIft Torpedo launchers. Its fun but tbh less strong as I expected it to be. 4 Tachyon/High Intensity Laser Paragon is just better imo. I must say tho I did legitimately salvage 6 Small Antimatter Missile launchers. Man those are insane too! I could fit 4 on the Paragon as well as it sadly doesnt have more missile hardpoints. Nasty missiles those are. I like them.

There is a mod that allows you get the blueprints for it
