That sounds kind of lame. I was expecting to just use melee weapons for most things, and have to save the phase recalibrations for when I really needed to pick them off from a distance. Or just use explosives, and only avoid energy/bullet weapons. Does this mean that sometime in the last TV Voyager season (it hasn't started yet, has it?), the Federation will start being theoretically able to mow down hundreds of drones with a single unmodified weapon, without needing to enter assimilation range?

And what do those phasers run on anyway?
