They were willing to drag out the type I when the script called for someone to carry a concealed weapon, though. "In The Flesh," for example, and...well, "In The Flesh." So it's not like they burned all the props, and then took the designers, model-makers, thinkers of all stripes out into the wooded backlot of that distant Paramount complex and had them burned too.

The only other modern Trek episode where I remember them using the Type-1 is "Encounter at Farpoint," where that Redshirt helmsman tried to attack Q, and got frozen. He was holding a Type-1.
And koy-plowed-under (or whatever), what I'm suggesting is that you GROW UP. I'm usually pretty forgiving, but this discussion is not supposed to be a competition. There are no brownie points or cash awards for any imaginary winner of a debate.

The Type 1 saw quite abit of use during the first season actually, "The Last Outpost" and "Angel One" being two examples I can think of offhand.

Sol: Sorry, I thought that term was more commonly known. When I say "Modern Trek," I refer to TNG, DS9, and Voyager. I suppose some might rope ENT into this category, since despite B&B's claims, it still has more in common with recent series than with TOS. But since ENT has nothing to do with this discussion, who cares?
Koy-plod-along, you might want to seriously consider getting some of the important reference books that we use before you try to look smarter than the rest of us.
And just to prove how useful it can be, I'm going to take pity on you and answer your question. Although the Type-1 hand phaser has not been seen since early TNG, the DS9 Tech Manual mentions that the design is still in use "as a backup weapon to supplement the Type-2 holstered phaser." (Section 10.4, Page 87.) To speculated, I would say that soldiers keep one in their pocket (or wherever) when in combat in case their power cell on their regular phaser runs out, or if they lose it somehow.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned. I think the last time we saw the cricket used on TNG was The Game. Wesley set one on automatic to fire at a forcefield.
Most recent use, AFAIK, was In The Flesh, as someone has already mentioned.

It's before "The Game", but Geordi also used a type-I when he attempted to kill that Klingon bloke in "The Mind's Eye".
I don't think they ever updated the design though.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

A friendly word from your new moderator. Kittens.
Now some other words from your new moderator. No, I'm not locking this thread yet: the signal-to-noise ratio seems to be a bit above 5:1 so far, which is actually pretty good. But pretty please, if you must make noise, just move it to the Flameboard. Plenty of room there.
In any case, Flare in the past few months has built a track record of sending almost all the newbies packing in no time flat. It's not something I feel proud about, folks. Don't believe in the stories that inbreeding isn't so harmful after all. You'll see when it turns us all into ugly retards who can't even spell "koy'peled Oy'tio" and other common words.
Have a nice day. And kittens. Timo Saloniemi

I don't think the type I really needs redesigning. It looks much sleeker than its original counterpart. Though that may be a side-effect of never being able to really see it clearly. Anyway.
