Main Phaser ArrayThis is a featured page

Phasers have been the Federation weapons mainstay for the last 120 years. The banks about the Akira Class are type X, currently the most powerful in the fleet. Their placement of the banks covers nearly all positions that an enemy ship can be at in relation to the vessel. The tactical applications of type X phasers is proving to be ineffective in high-speed, intense battles. While the Type X phaser array gives impressive power, it proved lacking during the Dominion War. The Akira was forced to rely mainly on torpedoes in combat against Jem’hadar fighters. Many solutions to this were developed, the main one being the firing of multiple arrays at a single target. The future use of the type X array is in uncertain. It at least certain that there will be an attempt to place type XII phasers aboard the Akira. Unfortunately it cannot be fitted with pulse phasers, for they need to be pointed directly at their target (fine for a little ship like the Defiant, but very hard on a ship almost as long as a Sovereign-class).
