There are no jokes in the canon post. Star Trek is serious business.

Yeah, I keep looking at it, and I can’t figure it out.

Interesting. Cardassian starship weapons are most frequently described as phasers arrays. I can't say for certain it's never said in an episode that they also carry disruptors, but I do know that every time I can remember a shipboard armament on a Cardassian vessel being mentioned, it's a phaser.

The DS9 Technical Manual says the Cardassian ships have spiral-wave disruptor arrays and a large aft disruptor cannon -- presumably that's what the pincer like structure on the back is supposed to be -- but the DS9 Tech Manual is also...not up to the standard of quality established by the TNG Technical Manual.

Now I kinda want to check.

Edit: Obviously also not canon, but the Star Trek Adventures Core Rulebook lists the Galor-class as having both phasers and disruptors.

In that case, your opinion has been noted and filed appropriately, and my earlier statement stands.

If algorithmically generated images have been posted here, I’ve missed them. Why don’t you link to them to provide evidence of your claim?

Ah, but if you’re playing Star Trek Adventures, a one on the die counts as two successes.

Buddy, the fact that you removed “algorithmically” when you quoted me does not mean it wasn’t important to my statement. The difference is when an actual human does it, there is time and energy -- even if minimally so -- expended to communicate an idea. It is a transformative work.

An algorithm doesn’t have any ideas to communicate, and neither does the person using it, because if they did they would do so, as opposed to letting a machine spit out some trash and talking about how amazing it is.

You sound so dumb. You really don’t understand and that’s ok

Why don’t you explain it to me?

Nope, there are no official rules here, but that doesn't mean everything is going to fly.

If there's one thing I hate more than low effort content, it's low effort content algorithmically generated by scraping the internet and stealing the work of actual artists.

No, but it is my first time moderating one. Y'all need to the Prophets.

What is unclear?
