FASA's Star Trek was the best

People just expect VOY to be the same as nuBSG when they were two different shows with different plot points and premises. And yes, the premises ARE different.
 
Cats are obligate carnivores. Even more than dogs--which are more omnivorous, though not so much as bears and humans--a cat's anatomy is geared toward the capture, killing, ingestion and digestion of animals.
Maybe their anatomy has changed through evolution.
 
I definitely fall into the category of people that liked the ship designs but never went for the RPG factor (TOS/movie era, since everything for TNG was pretty bleah.) Actually I never went for any RPG but that is secondary. I actually loved a number of the Federation designs even though, yes, a few of them were just an odd mix-and-match of Federation elements. A few of them however (aesthetically, if not in any practical engineering sense) really hit home runs with me and inspire me to this day. Klingon ships were ok , but I really liked the Romulan and Orion vessels.

I even liked some of the little histories that came along with a few designs, though most of that data would later be trumped by the ever growing canon.
 
^ But couldn't evolution have changed their anatomy so that they are no longer dependent on a meat diet?

Do we even need that excuse? They're felinoids, emphasis on the 'oid' here - cat-like, not actual cats. They're also humanoids, and there are primates who can survive quite well without eating meat, otherwise Hinduism would never have catched on. One could easily say that their vegetarian inclination in diet comes from the humanoid part of the equation.
 
Incidentally, IIRC FASA stopped producing Star Trek Role Playing Products because of liscensing disagreements with Paramount and not poor sales.
