The most powerful phaser I want to carry... the damn things can slice, dice and even make julianne fries.
....
The phaser beam could stun, heat, kill, or disintegrate living creatures. Phasers could damage shields or other systems or even cut through a hull. Phasers could also be used to cut through walls and burrow through rock. The beam could be focused to a single spot or widened to impact a large area.

It does pretty much everything... why carry anything else?

I'd go with something classy like a MACO type 3 compression phaser.

But more importantly- FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, everybody would wear fully vacuum sealed positive pressure suits with integrated armor and would not take them off no matter how safe the initial sensor readings were.

And if we picked up an alien as a passenger, they absolutely would not be allowed free reign of the ship, and would have to have an escort of no less than three security personnel at all times shadowing them in allowed areas.

If no further information is known, I'd say outfit 60% of the away team with phaser rifles as they can deal with most threats with both lethal and non -lethal means. The other 40% would be given TR-116 projectile rifles in case of any type of threat that is immune to energy weapons or shielded to them (Borg) or encountering a dampening field. Everyone obviously has a handheld phaser as a backup.

If the threat of dampening fields or shielded threats is higher, then TR-116 kit for everybody.

Have fun penetrating 16 bulkheads and the outer hull. The transporter was the important part. Now that I think about it, do borg have their shields up all the time? If they can transport frag rounds into their torsos it'd make the borg a lot easier to deal with.

On the other hand, inertial dampening fields would solve the recoil problem. Brute force works wonders against shields.

>>31532407
>Brute force works wonders against shields.
usually you have to be slow to get past shields they are good against fast low mass targets and energy in most sci-fi. i think in stargate a snek was knifed for this very reason.

now here is the thing tho which i don't get. aside from the void shields in wh40k most shields tend to have some electromagnetic resonance basis and should be easily penetrable by lasers as light doesn't really gives too shits about this.
>>
>>31532335
That's hilarious
>>
>>31532451
>slow to get past shields
I was talking about the fact shields have to either get their frequencies matched or polarity kerfuggled to be easily defeated vs. hitting them with a fuckhuge force. So what if your phaser kills by frying out the vital cells in a body? Borg shields soak the energy and they keep going. But what can shields do against something capable of throwing a man across a parking lot?
>easily penetrable by lasers as light
I think shields are like a trophy system except with energy fields instead of birdshot. It's constantly blocking space dust but if something over a certain threshold comes at them it overcharges the field and deflects matter and energy in that direction (within reason). However, it should allow slower things and visible light to enter.
>>

>>31532582
there should be an energy equation for this
unless the shields are exactly like a trophy system and can deflect high powered shots but need recharge time than a weapon (or multiple weapons at once) that has higher output power would get through that shield.

so the easiest solution to borg and their shield would be to shoot them in a coordinated attack with multiple phasers or with a very high powered one.

but really the shields shouldn't be bale to block lasers. the only thing we know that can block photons is matter. and matter when blocks laser gets ionized and really that is how laser cutters work. gravity distorts space and thus it could "deflect" laser shots on cosmic level or more like you could curve shoot a target on the horizon of a large mass that would otherwise be covered so maybe not.

Considering ships can still take some damage from phasers and whatnot while shielded, it's more likely that the shields dissipate energy rather than block it. It also explains why the shields are a bubble a distance from the hull, it gives room for the non-cohesive energy to diffuse in empty space.

And multiple coordinated attacks using phasers at different frequencies is standard anti-Borg tactics. Using a single high-powered one gives you rapidly diminishing returns as the Borg analyse and adapt to it.

>Using a single high-powered one gives you rapidly diminishing returns as the Borg analyse and adapt to it.
like i said if their power source is not more powerful than the weapons they can adapt all they want. easier to make a few off the chart phasers than upgrade all borg units in the fucking galaxy group.

the thing is shields should only really be effective against plasma type weapons and debris. maybe metallic projectiles with high magnetic index. that's all. any non-magnetic dart like tungsten-carbide would go through any energy field like nothing is there.

this is a problem tho because coil guns would need the projectile to be magnetic specifically iron or steel. but discarding sabot is a thing. and railguns only need a sabot that is conductive.
>>
>>31532953
an other good strategy would be to saturate the shields with stuff to deflect like plasma or debris and then shoot them. for example throw a plasma/frag grenade at their feet wait for it to go off and then shoot.
>>
>>31532938
>I mean, did we ever see a black Bajoran in DS9?

The problem is you'd need a massive power output to beat a Borg cube like that. You're talking space station tier. Not only do you have to be able to beat its normal shield output, you also have to be able to beat its capacity to modify itself to produce more power and modify itself to redirect systems away from damaged areas. You're also going to need enough power to keep your shields functional as the cube will be firing back the whole time.

It's why torpedoes are shown to be more effective against the Borg than phasers, it's a lot harder to adapt to rapidly occurring anti-matter explosions.

i was not specifically talking about cubes they are very big to ships and thus overpowering them would be likely a bad idea. i was talking about the humanoid units.

>>
>>31533000
Are we talking drones or ships? Drones have much less capacity to shield themselves. In fact, it'd make a lot of sense if the drones are able to wirelessly distribute power among themselves to support personal shielding during combat.
>>
>>31533089
Oh yeah, against drones that works fine but is circumstantial. Eventually you'll be up against multiple heavily shielded drones at the same time who will be firing back.
>>
>>31533122
so if they meet resistance they only come on stronger huh?
but what if you have a weapon that can match their strongest personal shields? and you have personal shields also? what's their next move?
>>

The ability to shit out thousands of drones from a single cube allowing them to bypass, overwhelm, or outflank you. Sustained infantry combat is the last thing you want to do against the Borg unless they're completely cut off.

No rest assured I'm retarded.
Almost as retarded to go recon a planet they could of at least used the scanners on to figure out the gravity levels and atmosphere and other climate info along with potential info on how big of creatures if any are down there. If there is none you either have to arm for klingons which should be good enough for any other race short of the borg, or arm for the borg which the federation never does, it just improvises trying to modulate their phasers which they know isn't going to last long enough to win a single battle and only having like 2 crew members that can face the borg in melee of which they might only have one present at best for the fight and he's going to get outnumbered and run away because the rest of the crew already got over run.
>>
>>31534121
To be fair, it was mostly TOS that had the "beam down to a planet where everything is deadly" plot elements.

Arming for the Borg is pretty pointless outside of actual Borg conflicts and getting into a melee fight with them is about the stupidest thing you could do.

Well I'm not saying it should all be done with sensors and stuff. I just mean in general there's no reason not to take an electronic survey of it first. Like when I was replying to thread originally I was like oh this gun with this stuff would work in this capacity in general and when I got to thinking about it it's like the stuff that makes things desirable or optimal on Earth isn't really always great for everything or even really going to have the same effect on a different planet. Can't really pick the right tool for the job if there's no idea whatsoever of what the job could be to stop. Like a planet having high gravity would low ballistic ranges and increase the rainbow arc effect. The weight of the bullet would probably be more in higher gravity so the propellant wouldn't put it at the velocity it would on earth then other things effect it like temperature and stuff like plasma or particle weapons just make more sense than regular old ballistics.

Transporters and Replicators both work by turning mass into energy and energy into mass.

Transporters scan you down to the exact state of every single sub atomic particle and then reassemble you exactly someplace else.

Replicators take energy and make close approximations of the item requested. They don't make things exactly because that would be too much data and printing resolution. So when you ask for a chocolate bar. It knows what should be in it to make it generally taste, feel, and be nutritious as a chocolate bar. Yet a real chocolate bar it is not.

Take the knowledge of how transporters and replicators work. Then combine that with studies on transporter accidents. Where two people have become one person, someone stayed in the transporter pattern buffer on a loop for decades, or one person has become two. Combine all this into a development project to produce one single device.

A transporter that can take any person and turn them into another person. Based on the data from a save file of their transporter pattern.

Take one highly trained individual and your transport them and you copy their data. Now you put this data and the transporter cloner into a ship with cloaking. Sneak the ship up on target ships, target space stations, or target planets. Sit there while cloaked and replace the targeted population. Soon your Cardassian cruiser is full of copies of Ensign Gary. If you do it fast and right, you take the ship with out struggle. Even if their is a struggle. Engine Gary clones are dispoable and them dying and the crew dying, still serves your purpose of taking ships.

The wattage is power what will really determine the lethal potential of the laser will be it's wavelength and frequency. think about electricity the voltage can pass right through you no problems, but the amperage will kill you even very low amps will kill a person.

>>31534496
>250-700 watts range
maybe their power supply is rated "250-700 watts"
the actual amount of energy transferred into photons is much lower.

yeah well my point is a laser that can kill humans will be in the kilowatt range if it can kill fast like a blink then megawatt range.
>>
just use the federation phaser.
it makes more sense to stun and capture whatever is on that planet than to kill it.
Still a semi-auto magfed shotgun firing something like micronukes in case the local flora/fauna turns out to be deadly would be nice as plan-B.

>>31534678
>what will really determine the lethal potential of the laser will be it's wavelength and frequency.
no it will be energy transferred per seconds aka watts (1W=1J/s). a good laser weapon must deliver energy comparable to a rifle in the same amount of time a bullet takes to hit. which means you need to deliver about 3kJ in 200ms which means 15kW laser, but if you take into consideration the different ways a laser beam and a bullet affects the body, you might want even more power.

that's the problem with having the captain and command staff be the main characters of a story...
cool shit needs to happen to keep the viewer watching and interested
BUT
no body wants to watch a show about a Sgt, a Cpl, two LCpls, and PFC schmuckatelli
>>
>>31535785
dunno usually these shows have a few prominent characters from each rank like a dozen from a couple of hundred crew-members.

interesting shit could happen to main characters without them being idiotically reckless.

take last ship: the captain who is supposedly very good at this ship-to-ship or ship-to-sub combat leaves his fucking ship and goes on jerking off to grass while the ship has to fight a fucking sub? why? the captain could have been there to fight the sub and the commando guys could still get into the action it made zero sense.

Depends on the continuity and source, really. Star Trek Online's armor managed to resist phasers, blades, and other energy types. Depending on the armor type, the wearer also got boosts to strength, energy weapon damage, or critical hits (explained as targeting assistance or recoil dampening).

I always found it so idiotic that they introduced what I would imagine would be one of the most fucking lethal weapons imaginable in that episode, then never employed or even mentioned it again. I mean, the ability to see people through walls and shoot them from fucking anywhere?

God the writing in later episodes of DS9 was such utter shit.

A Colt CMG in 6mm SAW Long and more ammo than I can carry (that's what a pissant red shirt is for).

Plus, a Colt Scamp converted to use more "modern" trapezoidal big-boy magazines & more JHP ammo for it than I could shake a stick at. Likely a bolo knife. I mean, hey, human rights don't extend to Aliens, right?

Im sure by this time someone will have figured out how to engineer this properly.

Cant be a whole lot out there than .45 Colt wont still kill dead. This, a cutlass, and a standard phaser should be all a nigga needs.

I loved that teleporting projectile sniper rifle with the x-ray sensor HUD, there would literally no stopping that.

Also loved that episode for the idea of a Vulcan assassin. I would use a self-destructing hologram with a mobile emitter or a small projection device, drop the weapon at designated location with the emitter, then you can trigger the attack once off world and far away.
