[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sean: [QB] I'd think that Starfleet initially mounted their ships with lasers, as they were a readily available tech in the early days of human space exploration, then developed plasma cannons, around the turn of the 22nd century, followed by phase cannons, which for some reason were found inefficient after the Romulan war, and by the founding of the Federation, more powerfull lasers had been created so they switched back to laser technology, leading to the phaser in Kirk's time. However, phase cannons could be strictly Earth based technology, and perhaps when the Federation was founded the other members did not want their ships to be armed with them. Another race could have had a more advanced weapon technology, based on the laser, that was chosen to arm new federation Starfleet ships. [/QB][/QUOTE]
