Multiblocks

A mechanic that consist in if you have for example a block of 2 x 2 of equal lasers, you could join them in a larger one to have more power for more cost

That could be a good solution to get bigger weapons or thrusters.

Not sure.  I'm not feeling this one, but I'm not sure why.

Part of it may be that it's not emergent; most of the weapons with complex behavior are emergent from simple combinations.  You can make a carpet-bomber for instance, but it's basically a grenade launcher with accuracy downgrades, and multi-fire/RoF upgrades.  You can make an acid sprayer, but it's just the particle gun with heavy and bouncy particles.

In this, it feels like though you build it from the smaller guns, it's not an emergent property of them.  It's a whole new gun, and the four guns are part of a recipe.  

I'm not sure.  I'm tired.  I'll sleep on it and look at this again.

what if you merge energy blocks and get more energy with no cost beacuse it is solid block

by the way it is 7:00 in the morning and i woke up at 6:30

It may be complex merging guns and such, but a different alternative for 2x2 weapons could be a larger weapon, that uses additional energy as a seperate item.
