So the LR beams supposed to be phasers?

So far the weapons debate has fallen into two camps:

1. Phasers are equal in range and firepower to disruptors. 2. Disrutors have
shorter range but are more powerful than phasers.

I not quite sure which idea to use just yet.

I am pretty clear about one thing. Ship construction:

        Federation Ships:  To reflect the "non-military military" nature
of Federation ships use 50% of there mass for systems. However, only half of
that total can be used for weapons and other "military" systems like ECM and
cloaking devices. The other 25% can be used for "peaceful" systems like
sensors (for all that productive star charting the Feds does) and screens.
These rules would apply to TNG era ships (the TOS series Federation doesn't
have the lack of backbone it has in the 24th century). The only exception
would be the Defiant which is supposed to be a true "warship." All other
powers (Klingon, Romulan, Cardassian, Dominion, Maquis, etc.), use the normal
50% rules for what ever systems they want. They are "unenlightened" and
"barbaric" when compared to the "utopia" that is the Federation. (Yes, I
agreed with the Maquis double agent's little speech at the end of the episode
where Sisko's girlfriend gets arrested.)

Any suggestion?
