/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Iirc, this is basically mag-dumping the phaser, so probably not useful for... Well, anything but exactly this scenario and checking for changelings
Also works on the type 3 phaser rifle, but you're probably right about the power cell drain.
Might I add, this is also only displayed on Voyager.
They do phaser sweeps on DS9 for Founders, but only for a few episodes.
To be fair, those are also implied to be a much lower power setting, enough to cause discomfort without scorching everything else.
Right, I meant in an offensive capacity.
That makes sense, but there should have been one person in the back who came forward every now and then and just reset the field then withdrew to recharge.
