Whou would use a dual beam bank? Don't cruisers/science vessels rely on broadsides (so the wider the arc, the better) and Escorts get Dual Cannons? Why would you pick this over either a dual cannon, or a regular beam array? 92.238.155.187 23:15, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Because it deals more damage --Tuvok2409 23:17, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Question was asked a year ago but for new people to the page: Dual Beam Banks are designed for Federation Science ships. Sci ships cannot use cannons and should not be broadsiding (most of their abilities have forward facing arcs). This weapon allows them to do maximum damage and time their abilities. It also allows them to effectively use torpedoes. Because Sci ships should not be pulling threat, it doesn't matter that they are always facing their enemy.
