I'm not sure how Mel Kraley (Jupiter IV) packages his decal products, but I'm sure he can fill you in. (the Facebook group gets seen by more people, more-often, if you want a prompt answer).

If you end up with questions when it comes time to assemble or paint, this is a good place to ask.

There is also a very lively SFU Miniatures Painting and Kitbashing Tips Facebook group. That group sees a huge amount of pictures and ...

Glad you came back.

If you haven't bought anything at all yet, the free downloadable Federation Commander "First Missions" pdf is a great place to start. It is both a "teach you the game" tool and a complete (if limited) version of the game, including printable versions of most components.

Phaser is defined in both the SFB and the FedCom rules as being a "phased energy beam".

What type of energy discharge isn't defined, but has usually been discussed as being a simple energy discharge (not plasma, but close to it). There is mention that they are powered by the ships electrical grid ...

DDG-1000 Zumwalt is was supposed to fufill the role we've actually used battleships for since WW2 (shore and inland bombardment), but that class turned into a mess of a white elephant and is being re-missioned.
