CU TNG tech sounds awesome. Good call Reliant.
I was thinking what kind of Empire.
Member of one of the others.
An AQ or BQ player in Galactic Events
Dominion sized Empire
Extra-Galactic or Extra-universal massive Empire and a few things in between.
Maybe a Tholian or Gorn sized and another option a Klingon or Romulan size.
I don't think an extra-galactic Empire would make much sense. Since if they covered the whole Galaxy, why don't we know about them? Unless they're Xindi...
I think the other options you put up are a good set of choices.

And then after that either their politics or their tech style. i.e. bullets vs transporter weapons (which I think the transporter would make an awesome weapon personally).
No. Transporters would be terrible as a weapon. They require accurate target co-ordinates, a large-ish power source, active sensors and can be blocked by damn near anything. They'd be awful weapons.

M-4s are the way to go.

But it would be fun to watch the enemy in complete confusion as their people just drop dead for no apparent reason

Until they spend a second to think and track your EMsig. Now they know where you are and how many of you there are. Its just a bad weapon.

Yes, in all seriousness, it's stupid, but it might be fun for some races that are stupid, e.g. Kazon.

The Kazon were smart enough to fool the Voy crew's sensors on planet. They might just be smart enough to work it the other way around.

I doubt them doing that was more than an accident, I don't put much faith in people who can't seem to scan for water.

Doesn't matter, it still showed they were able to do it. That is a risk that isn't worth taking. A 308 would do the job just fine and not leave an EMsig behind it.

Yeah, but it would be more fun to see their faces when their guy just drops dead with no holes in his body.
I know it's a pointless and very ineffective weapon. I'm just stating opinion right now.

When would that weapon actually be effective? The TR-116 I believe.

It would be very very very effective.... ONCE! Then, everyone within sight of you is now a target.

So, for suicide missions? You get one shot, then they kill you, or that's how it seems to me.

True enough, as long as your enemy isn't running any ECM or standing next to a power outlet...
