Weapon systems have been developed to exercise maximum damage to hull and minimal to shields. Weapons such as quantum torpedoes and phased weaponry in the form of phased turrets and torpedoes. However due to their highly unpredictable nature they seem to be used only in areas where the Borg are active. As a result the majority of their war ships use conventional weapon systems. | Weapon systems have been developed to exercise maximum damage to hull and minimal to shields.

The one recorded use of phased weapons was against the Cardassians and it allowed a Yassengoro cruiser to defeat a Cardassian heavy cruiser. However just after the heavy cruiser blew up a Cardassian destroyer easily finished off the Yassengoro vessel. An examination of the sensor data shows that a overload shorted out their shield capacitors and some of their weapon systems. | The one recorded use of phased weapons was against the Cardassians and it allowed a Yassengoro cruiser to defeat a Cardassian heavy cruiser.

Examination of the debris would seem to indicate that the ship is so highly specialized for use against the Borg that when used against other species they are susceptible to system malfunctions. | ||
This added to the fact that most of their war ships are capable of reaching warp factor 9.77778 has caused distress amongst the ships that have had to face them. | This added to the fact that most of their war ships are capable of reaching warp factor 9.77778 has caused distress amongst the ships that have had to face them. |
