13. "RE: GotW 46: Phaser Mk IV"
In response to message #11
 
   There's also another factor in favor of the Type II that's rarely brought up in the literature, for the simple reason that most publicized materials focus on humanoid-crewed ships:

The 'dustbuster' form factor is a lot friendlier to nonhumanoid manipulation apparatus. I mean, sure, it's still not great for, say, a Sulamid, but it's a lot better than a Mk IV. Have you ever watched a Sulamid try to manage a pistol grip with its tentacles? I'd think long and hard about coming in line of sight of one armed with a Mk IV hard-locked to setting 1, let alone any of the higher ones.
