If the phaser capacitor control marker is set to the midway point, will it still charge to full power?
The phaser capacitor control is often misunderstood. If the marker is set to the midway point of the capacitor, it will still charge to full power. However instead of taking one turn to completely charge, it would take two turns (assuming no phasers are fired) to reach full capacity. If the marker were set to 1/4 of the total, it would take four turns to fully charge the capacitor (again assuming no phasers were fired). This is a handy tool that can be used to free up energy from the power hungry phasers when not needed, for other uses such as ECM.
