marc, you don't have sub-light drives though, and also(I'm assuming on this because I don't know star trek), the phaser would have to be some heavy duty firepower to even hurt any RP ships, and from what I remember, almost all star trek ships have metaforical paper armor(less than an 1/2 in), so I know that the phasers would be light duty in comparision to most weapons(this includes the 5in railgun, or 16in shell). Also, and this is assuming, the photon torpedo is basically a laser explosive(photon=light), which would be very hard to make.
