Changes

=== Type I (Hand Phaser) ===

Used when easy concealment is desired, or simply when large and obvious weapons are too cumbersome, Phaser I is the perfect option when size is the issue. Due to its small size, Phaser I lacks the power of its larger siblings; only being able to be fired in standard beam mode, with four power levels. <br />

=== Type II (Phaser Pistol) ===

Unlike Phaser I, whose design remains mostly unchanged from previous models, Phaser II is a departure from the design which had been in favour for almost 100 years. Returning to the pistol design of the 23rd Century with multiple setting-specific focusing emitters to reduce chance of catastrophic emitter burnout, this Phaser II also incorporates the Phaser I for increased power, a design which hasn’t been seen for a century. Phaser II is the standard armament used by away teams and kept in various compartments throughout ships.

=== Type III (Phaser Rifle) ===

Considered a radical design change upon its first introduction, the modern Type-III Phaser Rifle incorporates the best of old and new designs. Modelled in the same fashion as Phaser-II, the Type-III is not designed to have the Type-II "plug in", but rather has been designed simply as a scaled-up and considerably more powerful Phaser-II. Like Phaser II, Phaser III incorporates multiple setting-specific focusing emitters to reduce chance of catastrophic emitter burnout.
