I agree with this. It’s already in canon in TOS that a constitution class could destroy a planet it stands to reason later Starfleet designs are just as capable. Using shipboard phasers and torpedos instead of a relativistic mass allows the crew to fine tune the amount of damage they want to inflict from glassing a whole continent down to surgically stunning a gang of Chicago mobsters.

Agreed with this. The saddest part of cutting reddit off for me was losing all the sports subs, they were really the only place I routinely posted and interacted with. There reddit did feel like a community instead of just a link aggregator.
