I'm still not sure, though I have to say I am swaying towards TMP.I like the TMP idea. I'm generally a TOS fan, but there's so little we know about the TMP era you could really do a lot with it. Also, if you've got men in skintight jumpsuits and women in miniskirts, I'm all over that.
Well they had men in miniskirts at the beginning of TNG, so why not a century earlier?And women in skintight jumpsuits and men is miniskirts .... or maybe not.
Planet based does sound interesting, can't say I've ever thought about doing something like that before. It is worth considering, especially if the natives were scantily-clad nymphos.I like the space station idea. Or how about a planet based starbase? Don't think we've seen that before, plus you could have a whole storyline about the indigenous population.
Why thank youInteresting.
I'm not sure that to call it. Currently looking at what might be a suitable name. Suggestions are very welcome at this point.What's the name of the station?
Going by what some sources say, the Movie takes place in 2273 (the Enterprise was on a five year mission that started in 2265, and Scotty said Kirk hadn't logged a single starhour in two and a half years, so that's when I plan on setting it). I was thinking of starting off in 2272, it would allow for a good moment of tension as all they can do is sit and wait to hear what happens.And when you say TMP, is it before or after the events that occurred in the movie?
That could be something, Captain St. John has to put up with Admiral-Captain Kirk drooling all over herAlso are there going to be any surprise visits from the Enterprise at all?![]()
It is sounding like a better time to set it every time I think about it. Hmmm...I'm very curious about this project, Bry, since TMP has literally been untouched.
Hesperides -- A relatively low-tech "bread-basket" planet, with vertical farms and solar power fields dotting the landscape. A small-to-medium Hawaii-like oceanside resort-town with modern touches that hosts Hesperides' residential, educational, commercial, & administration centers. Para-sailing residents, a modest spaceport, continental transporter center, and a small wharf where amphibious craft surface from beneath the waves occasionally, accepting and disembarking passengers from domed underwater communities serving as the roots of domestic power generation, mining, etc.
Even a Starfleet Command outpost displayed prominently in the center of the community, built with obvious Vulcan architecture, with it's own shuttle ingress/egress platform, several stories above street level.
Dogs, cats and even cattle lazily roam the pedestrian lanes with impugnity. You'll seldom find the streets without horseback riders, people throwing frisbees and people on bicycles with trailers stopping periodically to barter in the market. There is, of course, a specifically posted area designated as the area's "red light district" with a tavern and obligatory 'baudy house'.
