Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted January 8, 2004 The sleek tricorders and phasers used on DS9, VOY, and in movies 8 & 9. When did we first see these upgraded tricorders and phasers? THANKS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trekzone 0 Posted January 9, 2004 i know the bulky ones from TNG were seen into season 2 DS9, maybe more... sorry. but i cant think why VOY would upgrade - all the way out there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Holland 0 Posted January 9, 2004 I like the Phasers from TNG, but I like the new Tricorders and Communicators. As far as when they upgraded I don't know. It was sometime in the DS9 era. I was watching a 7th season TNG episode, and Riker was talking to Quark. There was a Starfleet officer behind Quark wearing the new issue uniform, while the Enterprise crew wore the old uniforms. That is a little messed up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sam The Smuggler 1 Posted January 9, 2004 Yeah, When DS9 Started, Ship Crew Still Wore "TNG" Uniforms Where As Starbase Crews Wore "DS9" Uniforms. As For The Upgrade. Season 3 Of DS9 I Think, Which Is Also In The Same Time Frame As Season 1 Of Voyager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted January 9, 2004 I've an idea! Maybe they were designed for FIRST CONTACT, but first appeared in DS9 Season 5 and VOY Season 3? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 8 Posted January 9, 2004 I've an idea! Maybe they were designed for FIRST CONTACT, but first appeared in DS9 Season 5 and VOY Season 3? That seems most likely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cramase 0 Posted January 9, 2004 The Hand Phaser design was upgraded to become slimmer in 2365, I think... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
