Weapons vs seeking weapons

[cnuzzi]

What weapons can be used against drones? Against plasmas? Or if it's simpler, which ones CAN'T be used? I know drones can't be used against plasma, but after that I'm not sure. Can disruptors be used against drones? Against plasma? Can photons?

IIRC anything can, but weapons other than phasers and anti-drones get a to-hit penalty (small target).

As for plasma, you can fire anything you want at it, but only phasers have any effect.

Only phasers will damage plasmas. No other weapons, including other plasma, will damage plasmas.

Any weapons will damage drones. Prior to impact, any weapon can fire at and damage drones. (That negative to hit thing is from SFB. It doesn't apply to Federation Commander.) However, once a drone impacts, the weapons that can be used narrow dramatically (ESG, snare, ADD, phaser).

Thank you. I saw another post that mentioned firing disruptors at drones, and I was surprised - I thought you couldn't do that. I think I was confused with the "post-impact" list.
