WOW! This is great, great stuff! You've got all three of the necessary parts to gaming suppliments- description, stats, and picture of EVERYTHING. Great work, and thanks for posting it! I'm going to print this out and slip it into my bookshelf next to the other core books.
Don't let anyone give you any guff about making the Borg starships weak. You've got stats that are perfect for the way they were protrayed on Voyager. That is to say, ridiculously different than TNG did. You modeled that correctly.
On to constructive criticisim: I love having stats for the Voyager crew. But it seems to me that Neelix should have some skill to relate to his cooking abilities. Artistic expression (cooking) would probably be right. Also, I would respectfully suggest increasing his World Knowledge skill or adding more specialties. After all, the main reason he was useful in the beginning of the series was because of his skills as a guide, his knowledge of the area. And let's face it, they went for a LONG ways before they went beyond the sphere of his knowledge.
And thank you for avoiding stat inflation. I really liked the stats you gave because not everything was better than everything of a similar type seen before as sometimes is the case with fan-creations. Excellent work, your excercise in restraint makes this very playable.
Well I can get the pages... Download the ziop, and then Winzip tells me its an invalid archive?
What am I doing wrong here? What program do I need for this?

first of all its good to hear such nice words. After all it seems that all the work was orth it http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif
the Neelix-Cooking thing, my thoughts exactly and he had Artistic Expression on my hand written notes and I simply forgot it. I changed this now and I increased World Knowledgem, although my idea was to give him streetwise ( delta quadrant ) to simulate his knowledge.
Thanks for the nice words http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif
Perrryyy, I am sorry you cannot see it, but I tried it, it should work. However if you send me you e-mail adress I can sent it to you per e-mail. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif
Sorry, Dan. That's strange. I use WinZip version 6.3, what do you use ? Well, I try to sent the unzipped file your way.

I'm having a similar problem to Dan as the place I'm surfing the net from doesn't actually have WinZip on the computers and I can't access it off the Net either.
Which is a crying shame as I was thinking about doing a game set in the DQ.
If anyone can help, well, help!

I got it to download eventually.
Try opening the file from source. It worked for me.
Thanks Evan. Its a sweet little book (Although I probably will retain my own Talaxian and Vidian templates)
So far a good read, and source of inspiration, looking forward to finishing it.

Well why not get good praise. Its good. Its nice to see anyone fill in the gaps still existing in LUGTrek scope. And we players appeciate your hard work...
Now if we can only get around to the Klingons http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/wink.gif I'm a broken record I know http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif
Bravo!
I have just perused the PDF and you have done an outstanding job Evan. Kudos!

p.s. I also like the rest of your site -- particularly the Nova details. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif

I agree! The Nova plans are excellent - well done, and thank you for making them accessible
Greg
I may not be a Voyager fan, but the book is very well done. Kudos!
Is this file still posted? I'd love to see it, but I see to be having some trouble downloading it.
Or can it be e-mailed? I'm at roberts@robertshome.org
Thanks!
there seems to be a problem with tripod, all the zip-files can due to some reason not be downloaded, but I hope they fix it soon.
Anyway, I try to send it your way via e-mail.
I am not even getting into the filemanbager at tripod, so they seem to have real problems http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/frown.gif

Funny, I DLed it yesterday night. It seemed to work fine.
Looks good. Thanks Evan.

She is not very emotional or experience in social activities, so she has not such a great charisma, although she looks very well.

You're exactly correct, Evan. And I'm sure you gave ther the "sexy" trait to appeal to what Cessna is referring to.
7 of 9 is sexy? Okay, she's got cretain attributes, but I always thought she was rather plain....
Gimme Claudia Christian over whats'ername anyday.
Great Job!
My *only* complaint: 7 of 9's presence is only a "2?"
Are you joking?
Because of that I gave her Hides Emotions and Empathy -1. As well as Presence 2. But still she looks very good, which gives her the Sexy Advantage.Quote:

Remember this are not the stats at the end of the series, where she might have evolved a more emotional personality, but the stats are for the middle of the series, perhaps season 5.

Not that I'm dissing Ms.Ryan's figure, but on this note you may want to consider the listing for the Sexy advantage in The Way of Kohnlinar. It says there that although humans (and others) may find Vulcans physically attractive, the coldly logical demeanour makes it difficult for Vulcans to be considered truly sexy. It also suggests that a Vulcan with this advantage should "buy off the Hides Emotions disadvantage, as it's difficult to be sexy without displaying some passion".
Methinks the same might apply to our favourite ex-Borg. That Ice Maiden act may be a deterrent. Mentioning Claudia Christian made me think of a similar problem Ivanova had.

Fair enough. I think her "presence" would certainly effect me, but hey - I'm shallow!Quote:

Actually I think one can be as sexy and attractive when you do not show emotions as if you do. I mean it makes you just more interesting and mysterious. And you can say what you want, but Seven is attractive. There are several examples of male characters who are attracted to her ( Harry, Chakotay, The Doc, and several one-shot characters of different episodes ). So there has to be something.

Great work! I just d-loaded it, and I'm already formulating in series idea (Bet everybody's gonna want to be a hologram.)
I especially like the stats for the Delta species, and the chapter on advice for narrating a Voyager series. I would have never thought of that system for different promotion guidelines that you thought of. I also agree that your stats are much more balanced than anything else on the net. Once again, great work!

Looks like you'll have the first 'United Holograms Starship', But what will be its name? How about UHS Photonic http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/wink.gif
I am glad that you like it and good luck with the series.

My Voyager series is going to start tonight- I'm using a modified version of the TNG core book adventure "Shakedown Cruise" and the solo player is a junior officer on USS Voyager itself. I'll tell you how it goes!

I liked it. Lots of good info. The only thing I was disappointed with was, no page numbers. I know it sounds like I'm being picky, but when/if I go to print this out, I pray I don't get them out of order! ;-)
Yes that's right and I thought so too, but when I got the idea of making page numbers I was almost finished and the problem was, they took so much room at the bottom of the page that the whole format became chaos so I did not include them finally.
