* [[Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better]]: Played with. Torpedoes are far and away the most damaging weapons in your starship's arsenal, but they kind of suck against shields. That's where [[Energy Weapons|phasers and disruptors]] come in. On the ground, meanwhile, melee weapons have the advantage of ignoring shields and Borg adaptation, guaranteeing a steady damage output if you're willing to risk your skin up close.
** Kinetic ranged weapons such as the T-116 and Zefram Cochrane's Shotgun also have the benefits of shield penetration and avoiding adaptation. They output less damage overall, but if you're dealing with heavily shielded enemies (or Borg) they're still good choices.
* [[Klingon Scientists Get No Respect]]: So much so that the Klingons don't actually have dedicated Science Vessels. Instead, they have Birds-Of-Prey, small, ultra-manoeuverable ships that have universal Bridge Officer slots which can be assigned any type rather than being limited to one.
** Then again, their Carriers have similar capabilities to Science Vessels (less weapons, increased shields, extra Science stations, Auxiliary Power bonus...).
