Forget gunpowder though. With tech like tractor beams, inertial dampeners, and gravity plating, you'd think The Federation would have more armaments in the way of mass drivers, rail guns, and other physics based attacks. Heck, even an chaotic orbiting swarm of meteorites would do a lot to disperse phaser fire.

I was so happy to see this thinking in action during the last season of Picard.

I, for one, look forward to seeing more asteroids flung at jackasses with tractor beams in the future.

Riker and the tractor beam at the nebula. Riker, his aim true.

If nuclear weapons are considered at most a nuisance, what good would rail guns do?

Yeah, it's mentioned fairly casually that the Enterprise D would be able to destroy an entire continent fairly trivially from orbit

Weapons and shields in star trek are crazy powerful
