'''''Phasers''''' deal high damage to [[Shields|shield]] but low damage to [[hull]] and move quickly. They appear as a flat, semi-transparent, red-orange beam and make a sharp "pew" sound when fired. Upon impact, phasers emit red plasma chunks (with trails) similar to the visual effects seen when damage is dealt to a ship's hull. The sound is repeated for each phaser fired. | '''''Phasers''''' deal high damage to [[Shields|shield]] but low damage to [[hull]] and move quickly.
