[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Well, there was a verbal reference to type 8 being aboard some of the Maquis ships in "Journey's End", and a pictorial reference (the MSD display from "Generations") to type 8 being the main armament of the Enterprise-B. One thing puzzles me. How does one establish the "size" of a phaser strip? Both the short and long strips of the E-D were supposedly type X. The DS9 TM speaks of type 10 point emitters (the Constitution variant), type 10 strips (the Galaxy and Nebula ones, as well as the teeny weeny Sabre ones) and type 10 invisible emitters (the Norway class). I agree that type probably refers to the relative strength of the weapon, i.e. how "heavy" it is. The physical appearance of the weapon is a different matter - say, type 5 weapons could come in pedestal-mounted, striplike shipboard, point-emitter-shipboard and even shoulder-held variants.
