I want to be able to change out my shields as needed, Is there a thread that lists Races and what kind of weapon they use?

For example;

Romulan Phasers Plasma
Klingon Disruptors Photons

Etc.

    Go to the Memory Alpha website, an excellent source of Trek information; and put in the name of the weapon you want information on. In the entry, it will most likely tell you which races developed and used that weapon type primarily.

    Klingons -> disruptors + photon torpedoes
    romulans -> Anything plasma based
    Hirogen -> tetryon based
    Krenim -> chroniton based
    Dominion -> polaron + antiproton based
    Cardassian -> plasma based (or should be)
    federation -> phaser + torpedo
    Borg -> disruptors + graviton based (dont know if graviton is a viable torpedo type, but i've seen them use plasma)

    that's the basics of it all, at least what they _SHOULD_ be using in the series, dunno if it's true or not

    Some of this is wrong for the game.

    Klingons/Orions/Nausicans/Gorn - Disruptors + Photons
    Romulans/Remans - Disruptors + Plasma projectiles (occaisional photon too)
    Hirogen - Tetryon + Transphasic
    Cardassians - Phasers + Photons
    Terran Empire (mirror universe) - Phasers + Photons and occaisional Quantums I think
    Jem'Hadar - Polaron + Quantum projectiles I think? I forget
    Borg - Plasma all around
    Undine - Antiproton + Plasma projectiles

    I haven't seen any NPCs use chroniton projectiles or tricobalt devices. Other than that, all weapon damage types are fully represented by enemies.

    Most races are using what they would use in cannon for the most part.

    Klingons, Orion, Naussican, Gord - Disruptors, Photon torps

    Romulans - Disrutpors, Plasma Torps

    Hriogen - Tetryon Beams, Transphasic

    Cardassian - Phasers, Photon Torps in game, In cannon it would have a mix of Phasers and Disrutpors and Quantum torps.

    Jem'hadar - Polaron Beam, Quantum torps

    Borg - Plasma weapons (would have used graviton torpedos in cannon but these aren't in game)

    8472 (Undine) - Antiproton weapons

    Terran Empire - Phasers, Photon Torps
