The 'type' refers to the overall weapon part of the phaser, but the emitter is seemingly different based on what it's mounted on. The standard lineup of TNG ships all use Type 10 phasers, just with the smaller ships having less of them. If it was more a designation of modernity, the smaller...

Yeah sorry, my mistake, however one must question how high the rates of fire of both ships are, more launchers=/=higher torpedo output. Type 8 phasers are not at all comparable to Type 10, you need to get to the Sovereign class to get higher output phaser banks. Type 8's can fit on a small...

In hindsight looking up the specs for the Enterprise B/Excelsior, I think the Voyager has it beat. 5 dual (10 phasers in total) Type 8 Phasers vs 13 phasers, with at least some being Type 10 (galaxy class sized) 4 Photon Torpedo tubes vs 5 Photon Torpedo Tubes (including at least a couple...

I think there's a few episodes which have moments like "we can't fire torpedoes at this range because we'll destroy ourselves", especially when the shields are weakened/down. I think most starships can handle an indirect torpedo blast with full shields, but it becomes risky when ships are damaged.

No I really mean that when you scan a 3d model of the Warbird, even accounting for empty space, it's 4 times the mass of the Galaxy class for minimal if any greater power in combat. To make an analogy, this is like the Chinese making a four hundred thousand ton ultra-carrier which provides no...

The Galaxy class is of course a powerful warship, multiple alien species basically treat it as a dreadnought. But for it's considerable size, it is not as powerful as it would seem. The only ship worse in this regard that I can think of is the Romulan Warbird, it has 4-5 times the volume of...

The only thing which beats ripped-shirt Kirk is the Gorn. But even the Gorn lost to 'build a cannon out of random garbage' Kirk.

Because the OP specifies "Enterprise B" it can only get the best refit the Enterprise B got in the franchise. Lakota was a one-off refit as far as I am aware of.

Dominion fighters destroyed a Galaxy class because their polaron weapons ignore shields and they rammed it. The phasers on the Defiant do not ignore shields.

This is in the Red Corner's favor. Enterprise D isn't especially good at combat but it's the closest thing there is to a Federation Battleship. The Defiant is a tough, strong little ship but I don't give it good odds against a well captained Galaxy class, and the Enterprise D has had various...
