Well, after 6 months away from the Forums, I'm back! Computer problems, E-mail problems, the implosion of the @Home Network, my business taking up all available time... It's been fun - NOT! I only just recently managed to get back onto some of the projects I'd been working on, like the scans I was doing for Eric R., and updating my Star Trek: Relic site.
So, what's been up 'round here? Y'know, apart from the new address and format?
Welcome back Owen.
Owen! :) Welcome back guy. What's the link on your Star Trek: Relic site, and can you tell us about said site? It came up while you were gone, and it sounded interesting... :)Quote:

Welcome back :)
The link is in the Transporter Room on the main site, listed as Relic. The front page is http://www.coldnorth.com/owen/relic.htm - I'm going to be adding more stuff, like sub-campaigns within the game, et cetera, but at least the main campaign site is up!:p
Yow! Plethora of information, and man I might just railroad my crew to the Dyson Sphere at some point.Quote:

How did they deal with the instability of the star - wasn't it dangerous in a radiation sort of way, or am I projecting memory bits from an episode I saw waaaay too long ago?

Jeez, Owen! Fantastic site. Think my players are making a trip to the big ball...
Owen, just took a brief peek. Love the idea of going to the Dyson sphere. Nice work on the site.
I LOVE the idea of Delilah Samson having problems with her name! LOL My kinda character! :)
Good to hear from you after such an absence Owen! :D
How's the business going?

Welcome back, Owen! Nothing happened while you were gone.
psst! Guys! Do not mention that little incident involving Captain Hunter, Captain Zymmer, the old trekrpg mailing list engine, and Kofi Annan. Let him get back into the saddle slowly.
YOU SAID YOU WOULD NEVER TELL!?!?!??!?!?!?!?
Captain Zymmer runs from the room in tears
So, same old same old, then... ;)
Anyway, the second stage of the multi-part site update at http://www.coldnorth.com/owen/relic.htm has taken place, with the addition of the Star Trek: Lucas sub-campaign. More to come!
Well long time no see Owen, Welcome back.
I have one question for you about your little ship SS Lucas, what no shields??? :)
Other than that, it's good to see you again.
"what no shields???"
Correctomundo! Navigational deflectors only. No weapons, either. This is not a ship you want to use if you like ship-ship battles - it's a truck.
OhthankGod, Owen's back! :D
Oh thank God, Don's back! :DQuote:

Hey, Owen...just an observation, not a criticism. I really like what you've done with the Dyson Sphere stuff.
But I was looking over the episode guide on Star Trek's official site & noticed the Dyson Sphere episode happens in the midst of a couple episodes on the Cardie side of Fed space, near the Argolis Cluster (supposedly near Betazed). Wouldn't that suggest Cardassian involvement, instead of Klingons?
I wanted to use a lot of game infrastructure I'd developed for my original Star Trek: Excalibur campaign back in the 1980's, so I placed it in the Beta Quadrant near Starbase 21 which was on the Klingon frontier handy to the Triangle (a FASATrek setting).
I don't worry too much about travel times in Trek - they can go from Bajor to Qo'noS during a commercial break in a Runabout, so surely they can get from Betazed to the Klingon frontier between episodes.
Thanks for updateing your site, Owen! There's some very useful stuff there. I've already wowed my gaming group with your Obereth deckplans. I'm looking forward to using the space station deckplans.
My gaming group and I appreciate your generous content!
I'm glad you like it, Diamond. It's still in the process of getting tweaked, and there are still two sections to go up, not including the art and modelling pages. I just tweaked the entire Relic section, making it a little easier to read the labels (I liked the embossed look, but it was sometimes a little hard to read), and correcting errors (like the dates Sir Sig mentioned). There's lots more to do...
I like what you have done to your site, especially the stuff on the Excalibur. One question, isn't the Soyuz-class a "newer" design then you have listed? Or are you using a Batch-1 and Batch-2 idea?
The Soyuz was taken out of service in 2288. The Excalibur campaign is set in 2260, only 28 years earlier, so it figures to me that the Soyuz would have been in service then. Of course, this is prior to the wholesale refit of the fleet in the early 2270's, so I've backdated the appearance to a TOS style.
