Has anyone on startrek ever ordered 'phasers on KILL'?

Question

Kirk invariably seems to order 'phasers on stun' no matter how dangerous the alien targets may be when they wake up.

Answer 1

In the TNG episode "Conspiracy", Picard receives a private message from Captain Walker Kiel, an old friend and fellow starship captain, who warns him of impropieties at the highest levels of Starfleet Command. After Kiel's ship is mysteriously destroyed, Picard decides to take the Enterprise to Earth and find out the whole truth. He and Riker are invited to dinner at Headquarters to discuss the situation .

Admiral Quinn, another old friend of Picard's, asks to come aboard. But the visit is a trick to infect Riker with the same parasite that has infected Quinn and who knows how many other top level officers in the fleet. An symbiotic alien race is trying to take over the Federation.

With what seems like superhuman strength, Quinn knocks out Riker, Geordi, and even Worf, before Dr. Crusher finally phaser-stuns him. When Riker is late to dinner Picard tries to call him, only to hear from Beverly that he was attacked by Quinn and she explains about the alien she found in his body. The point I'm getting to is when Beverly distinctly says this:

"Captain, you must set your phaser on kill. Stun has little effect."

As for stun settings on phasers, by the 24th century, more of a distinction is made between light and heavy (or maximum) stun.

Answer 3

The way it worked was this:

If it was the captain talking to his crewmembers, they would "set phasers to maximum." The good guys would say this to each other.

However, when the crew was talking to the bad guys they would often make note of the fact that the phasers were set to kill if they didn't comply. "Don't try anything, I've got this set to kill."

Answer 4

It's "Phasers Maximum Power"

Answer 5

Actually there are a few ...

There is the story were Kirk is healed by a witch and as usual loses his head while the planet is caught in an arms race. You know ... lol

Anyway he kills a creature that tries to mate with him, or so it seemed, cause if it wanted him dead ... well see for yourself ... lol

<> in simple terms because of the fact something it criminal would not propose this is suited. <> there's a reason you won't be in a position to spell 'assume' without '***'. people who assume too a lot finally end up making asses of themselves. <> would not make experience, does it - and yet, there you're advocating human beings basically assume the government is nice! <> incorrect! <> advert hominem assaults harm your credibility. perhaps Marc, like me, would not see too a lot interior the way of credibility while examining your question. <> The term "fetus" actually skill "the greater youthful interior the womb". The fetus IS a residing individual. life starts off at thought, not beginning nor some arbitrary element in between. for this reason, each and every abortion constitutes the homicide of an unborn individual. <> however the fetus IS human. for this reason, abortion IS homicide. <> what's so narrow minded approximately acknowledging the unborn for the residing human beings they're? because you at the instant can not try this, would not that propose your innovations is largely greater narrow than mine? <> That in simple terms is going to tutor how schizophrenic human institutions could be - and you desire to think of such a company (the government) is nice.

Answer 7

i think they say phasers on maximum but they don't use the word kill.

Answer 8

i'm sure they did, occasionally. It was always near the dramatic climax and always accompanied by "ohshit" music. I only ever watched the originals; i doubt that they do that in today's PC versions

Answer 9

NO DONT THINK SO STUN WAS THE POPULAR ONE

Answer 10

OMGness, wouldn't that be funny.
