Isn't there an episode where Picard drops the Enterprise's shields just to mock a captain for trying to shoot the ship with lasers?

Not the same thing as plasma, yes, but it's pretty close, no?

it's also weird cause in Halo, Plasma is [i]very[/i] effective at countering shielding tech, but Covenant ship weapons are also just powerful enough to utterly one shot UNSC ships and slap other Covie ships around with ease
