[UT/SS] 4e Star Trek Weapons and Effective TL?

[Phantasm]

A few questions for the hive mind:

1. What effective TL would you put Star Trek at, particularly the Federation, Klingons, Romulans, and Cardassians in the TNG/DS9/Voyager era? What technologies shown would you base these on?

2. What variations in the TL would apply? Where would they be more advanced or less advanced than the setting average?

3. How would you stat Federation phasers and Klingon/Romulan disruptors? Are there particular weapons in Ultra-Tech you'd point to as a base, or just make stuff up wholesale?

4. What systems and design switches would apply when using Spaceships to stat out the various ships? What SMs would certain ships be at?


Note: I don't have Prime Directive and am low on funds, so getting those books aren't going to be of much use. Plus, I'm not sure if Prime Directive is 3e or 4e, and anyway they're from an era a century earlier.
