QUestion on SRM- TOS

Steve, I don'y know if this has been discusses before, but I was wondering where did you get the inspiration to "fill out" the SRM for TOS? What ships are included in it (more than just the federation)?

Are there stats for ships in other star trek products such as Klingon Academy or Starfleet Command (both computer games) or Fasa Trek or Starfleet Battles (pen-and paper games)?

Oh yeah, do you know when it will be available for download (days, weeks - it is in the testreading stage now isn't it)?

Just wondering....

I am 100% certain there will be nothing from computer games and 99.9% certain there will be nothing from FASA or SFB.

Mostly from my own fevered li'l imagination. :)

Well, there are 47 ships all told, so I don't really want to sit here and list 'em all. They're grouped into three broad sections: Starfleet (the Constitution, the Miranda, and on and on); Civilian (freighters, transports, and so on); and Threat race ships (various Klingon, Romulan, Orion, and other ships).

Absolutely, positively not. Not only have I never played any of those games, the last thing I want to do is get Don (or myself!) in trouble by infringing on a gaming-related IP like that.

"Real soon now."

The testreading ended a while back. Revisions have been made. Now it's a question of (a) layout, and (b) various real-life issues.

Hey, does Don still wanna take on the layout for this? 'Cause if there's other stuff (like, um, DecTrek) that's preventing him from doin' it, then can I? I've already got some cool ideas for the layout (and I could use some of Don's ideas that he mentioned IIRC. If that's okay with him, of course).

Hmm..Me wonders if I could use it for extra credit in my dtp course...

Don called dibs on it a long time ago -- but thanx for volunteering, Chris!

The Cardassian Sourcesbook is in the layout stage. I would suggest you contact Anomaly eye1moveies@aol.com and see if he's prepared to delegate any layout.

Typesetting and the cool LCARS-looking sides.
