[QUOTE]Originally posted by David Templar: [QB] Um, I'm kind of lost now. I was saying that power is proportional to length... That's how I interpret the TNGTM's bit on phaser arrays. In any case, we shouldn't be looking at length to determine this. You can in theory get an infinite number of lengths with array-type emitter setups. You just put one emitter after another, and have it go long or short as you need. One can measure each individual emitter to see if there are ones of different dimisions, and hope that the internal arrangement is not what's different. The thing is, it doesn't make much sense for them to be a different type, if the difference is the emitter's firepower. If the shorter strip uses a weaker emitter, then they're just compounding the shortcoming of the length = power problem. Sure, you don't usually need much power in the aft arc, but if you can have it, why not? And if they use an emitter type that's stronger than the ones found in the primary arrays... Why aren't the primary arrays using [i]those[/i] emitters, then? Plus it makes it unneccessarily confusing in terms of logistics. "We'll need 24 Type-XIII emitters, 8 Type-Xs, and a Type-VIII. I assume you know which one goes where." [/QB][/QUOTE]
