[QUOTE]Originally posted by David Templar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [qb]Phaser strips variate from this in that each individual emitter segment COULD in theory handle the full feed. It just DOESN'T, or rather, doesn't until the energy's been collimated from all segments & shunted to the one that is best positioned for release at the target. That's why when the ship moves, the beam "walks" along the ship, & why we have shots like in "SoA" where we see a [i]Galaxy[/i] firing twin beams from the same emitter array.[/qb][/QUOTE] Individual emitters can only pass along the energy, they are still limited to just how much they can dish out themselves. It's be pretty pointless to stick one emitter segment and expect it to do the work of the full array. It defeats much of the purpose of the array, if you can just have a series of small banks.
