Game Notes: Firing Modes
- Standard mode is the one typically used. It does the weapon's basic damage.
- Pulse mode involves increasing the damage the weapon does by firing a series of rapid pulses of energy. You can simulate this by increasing the weapon's damage with extra power, or as a form of single-weapon multifire. Pulse phasers cannot use this rule; they are already optimized for this type of fire only (which is why they do much more damage than normal phasers of the same type).
- Continuous fire mode involves maintaining a beam for longer than normal, making it easier to hit the target. This provides +1D to roll when making an attack Test to hit the target. Pulse phasers cannot fire in continuous mode.
- Wide Beam mode allows a beam to affect a much broader area. Instead of a narrow beam, the beam widens by 10 meters for every point of damage sacrificed. In combat, for every 1D (1D = 3 pips) of damage sacrificed to widen the beam, the user receives a +1D bonus to hit the target. Out of combat, a sufficiently wide beam on low power settings has many uses as a tool..
| Mode | Notes |
| Standard Beam | Base Damage |
| Pulse Beam | Damage: add up to 25% over base |
| Continuous Beam | Fire Control: +1D |
| Wide-Beam | (See Description) |
Description: Cardassian phasers are similar to Bajoran phasers, but only possess two settings-a stun setting equivelant to Heavy Stun on a Federation phaser, and a lethal setting equivelant to Heavy Disrupt A on a Federation phaser. Cardassian phasers use isotolinium ampules for power; if accidentally released in a single burst, these ampules can vaporize four cubic meters of tritanium. Fortunately, Starfleet has never recorded such an accidental discharge.
