Phasers gutted the nacelle, a torpedo then blew it completely off

Very cool, and close enough for gov't work I do wish Mandel would have listed the real star names that he used for Trek locations, as I've always assumed he did pick real stars when placing these locations (or maybe not ?)

Just out of curiosity, where does the information that HD 113337 = Cardassia come from ? HD 114703 is where I put Cardassia on my charts, as it is a K type star as per the Star Charts book, with Bajor at HD 111513

It doesn't take a lot of resources to pacify a planet-bound subject species when you have warp driven warships. "Our tribute is expected by such-and-such date, or the next passing ship will glass one of your cities from orbit"

It is still turn based during ship combat, what I do is "freeze" time between movement phases. In between each phase the animations for movement, weapons fire and other special effects happen for 5 seconds before time freezes again. Attached is the entire Game Master's control panel to give...

That's really cool ! Yes, my setup does allow for 3D combat, although you do have to tweak the FASA rules a bit as there are only six shields surrounding a ship in 2D. In this pic, you can see a Miranda class ship diving down from above on a couple of Klingons:

Sure, while onboard ship or planetside it plays like other RPG's, each player character has a set of attributes and skills that determine their actions in combat, interacting with NPCs, encountering aliens etc. Those character attributes are also used during starship combat for targeting...

It's homebrew, using OGRE for the 3D graphic parts

I'm not sure if this post would be more at home in the Art or Gaming forums, as it is equal parts about the old FASA Star Trek RPG, computer graphics, computer programming, 3D art, and even a little carpentry :-) Many years ago I gamemastered the old FASA Trek RPG with friends in college, and...

The novel was "Prime Directive"

Turbolifts were invented by Floyd R. Turbo, American.

Saw this last night and absolutely loved it ! A+ from me The only things I would have changed/added: - The music wasn't quite what it should have been for a Star Wars movie - I wish Bail and Leia would have had a scene together

John Wesley Shipp :cool:

RIP Mr. Nimoy, and thank you

You're not wrong I'm supposing that one, the Kobayashi Maru was representing a real ship, or at least a real class of ship. And second, freighters probably had very long life times, and that type of ship could easily still be in use in the 24th century

The Kobayashi Maru There was a tech readout of the ship visible on the main viewer in STWOK

They are supposed to look like this:

Not much of a "Trek" if you can go to the end of the universe and be home before dinner :-) It was sloppy writing, pure and simple

To me, that ship would have made a decent Next Generation Enterprise, 1701-D, compared to what we got As to the refit Enterprise in TMP, it was love at first sight, still my favorite incarnation

This one simple thing turns the entire premise of Trek on its ear If the Enterprise can travel from the Klingon homeworld to Earth in 60 seconds, so can the Klingons You don't need starships in that universe, you need fortress defenses on every world you care about that can defend it from...
