USS Enterprise, phaser battle

[H'ta]

I am trying to find the Next Geration episode where USS Enterprise were on space battle but i would not rememeber who were opponent.
I rememeber that the battle were conducted by Picard and from Enterprise battle bridge and enemy were beated by huge phaser attack.

Can you help me?

I think the only time we saw Captain Picard actually use the Battle Bridge was in the pilot 'Encounter At Farpoint'. Plenty of weapons fire, but pretty certain he didn't beat Q. Then.

The Battle Bridge was used in Encounter at Farpoint, Arsenal of Freedom (Geordi was in command Picard was planetside) and Best of Both Worlds.

Hope that helps

...And "Best of Both Worlds" also featured a stand-in captain: the ship wasn't separated until after the Borg had kidnapped Picard, so Riker was commanding from the battle bridge.

So, there is no episode where Picard would have commanded a phaser battle from the battle bridge. There's

1) an episode where Picard commands a surrender from the battle bridge
2) an episode where LaForge conducts a heated battle with phasers and torpedoes from the battle bridge
3) an episode where Riker conducts a diversionary battle from the battle bridge while Data and Worf in a shuttlecraft perform the actual relevant tactical maneuver

In addition to those, in TNG "The Battle" a deluded Picard commands a fantasy battle with lots of phaser fire from the bridge of the derelict Stargazer (a set that looks very much like the battle bridge), but we don't see the weapons fire because none of it is real...
