I'm looking at a build for my ship. The build is built around disruptor beam arrays. Could I use the same build if I swapped out plasma beam rays? The consoles and traits and such seem like they would benefit beams In the same way in general but I'm wondering if I'm off base.

Yes you could but a few key things to note:
Plasma isn’t a very good type at the moment. You’d have to swap out your damage boosting consoles as well, anything that buffs disruptor damage would have to be dropped in favour of getting a plasma counterpart.
There is not many ingame items that buff plasma damage aside from fleet gear and rep items. But I’ve not dabbled with plasma much, I’d suggest looking at r/STObuilds.
If you want to run plasma I’d suggest looking at getting Assimilated Plasma beam arrays with either [Dmg]x4 [CrtD/Dm] or [CrtD]x4 [CrtD/Dm] modifiers, or the Romulan Plasma beam arrays from the new romulus rep with the Experimental romulan plasma beam array.
Also most personal traits or starship traits can be universally used with any build.
Hope this helps somewhat!

Just for clarity's sake: Solace is of course correct in that plasma is not a very good type at the moment. However, it mostly matters for people who like to push the boundaries of dps, for "normal" players not interested in making 200+k dps runs plasma is perfectly viable to use. It's just that phaser and disruptor are (slightly) better at the moment.

You should also keep in mind that the Donnie is one of the best ships in game.

I'd recommend against Romulan Plasma weapons from the rep. The set weapon is fine, the regular ones are not. I don't know if they've changed it, but rep weapons cost appreciably more to upgrade than non-rep weapons, and the generic Rom Plas aren't worth the additional cost.

When people say Donnie, exactly what ship are they referring too? I believe it is this one. Constitution Legendary Temporal Flight Deck Carrier. If it is, does it only come in the Legendary Version?

The Donnie is the Discovery version of the Enterprise, also referred to as the Discoprise. There's 2 versions of it - the new legendary temporal version and the original Miracle Worker one which was a promo ship.
Connie is the original TOS/TMP era Enterprise design and Konnie refers to the Kelvin Constitution, sometimes referred to as the JJPrise after JJ Abrams. Each of these has their original version and the new legendary version.
