Oh good Lord yes... It'd be funny if it came with a Holo EMH that looked like Andy Dick lol.

I will jot down my captain and bo names for you with species later this w/e.. I think this could always be a useful tool for someone who is having a brain block day LoL

Yesterday I spent a bunch of time hanging out in the central hall on Qo'noS and running/flying around ESD. I've picked up a great number of names for certain species, esp Orions, Caitians, and Nausicaans. The sample size for the Orions is getting to the point where I can run them through the generator and get a hearty list of realistic, not-sounding-all-alike names.

I totally forgot to mention that I can use Gorn and Lethean names, as well.

If you have BOs of any of these species, do let me know their names (even if the name is a bit off-the-wall, it can still contribute to the feel of the language without making every name sound like Sparkle McFluffypants).

(what is "stonewall" in Romulan?).
How would you guys like to see us do when the Romulan faction comes out? Any ideas on how to get more people interested in playing Klingon? What would you guys think about faction specific officers?

Right now i have an ra4-5 in klink a tac, and starting on a eng who has only done Vault.

Stone Wall and Fleet in romulan words (not script, i can work that out, but havent yet) is Jorreh Honn Galae, not sure what the correct order would be.

You mean Starship Battles? I loved that game. Some part of it appealed to the high-action-accountant in me. You had to balance your energy budget every turn, and plan ahead by charging weapons several turns in advance of firing. I still have some scratch paper here in my office that's xeroxed Damage Allocation Chart, Impulse Movement Chart, and the damage chart for a Federation Heavy Cruiser on one side.

Sigh. Now I feel like a really old geek. :ohmy:

I've never played the FASA version but I have several of the books from Decipher's version.

Your so right Virgo, FASA lost their license because of issues over cannon.

But, while it was active... FASA what the best source of ST info around. Playing the starship battle simulator was great fun. I always thought.... wouldn't this be so much easier on a computer....

Then 10-20 yrs later we get...


STO

LOL

Yep, I remember playing it - was very much into RPG's during their height of popularity in the early 80's.

The one thing I remember was how detailed your history in Starfleet was. A few dice rolls (on percentile dice, natch!) determined if you served on a Constitution-class ship or wer stuck on some out-of-the-way starbase.

While I can't remember his name, my first character was head of Engineering. The man had no social skills whatsoever but his Engineering roll was a base score of 92 out of a possible 99 (00's were critical failures, if I remember correctly).

There was also a "ST:TNG" sourcebook but I think shortly after it was released FASA lost the Star Trek license.

Same here... I played the combat simulator... Which was awesome! :D Especially when you have a TNG ship creaming a TOS ship LOL

;)

I bought one of the character RPG's story-lines but never actually played it. I stuck with the battle simulator and I still have it.

I'll never get rid of it because it was so much fun to play when I was a kid.


:D

I played their Starship combat game and had the rp game but never played it.

It was a paper based RPG created by FASA Corporation and licensed by Paramount.

Here's a link that may help you remember it:

When I was a kid, I found this game... bought the basic kit, and some of the information manuals... including the additional material for the just released (at the time) Star Trek: TNG.

I had so much fun playing this game.... Wow, things have come a long way with STO when you compare it to this old FASA game.

:D

I would be more than happy to head up a contest. I'll put together a proposal for how it will be run and what the judging criteria will be and then run it by you and anyone else who needs the details prior to kicking things off. Exciting! Thanks for extending the invitation. :)

heya! we have not done one recently. would you like to head one up? :cheer:

oooooo so cant wait joins brandon in squealing

Hello there. I'm returning after a 7 month hiatus due to some family issues but am excited to be back. I was wondering if we are still doing monthly fiction contests here? I did a quick search of the forum and see that May 2010 was the latest month to come up. Just wanting to confirm? And if they have ceased, any chance we could get them started again? I definitely enjoyed participating in the March 2010 event. Thanks all!

They haunted me no more then the real one did.. I found that if you move no hauntings lol he moved every six months for a long time. It did help, still I hope I don't have to do it anymore
