Vale, Leonard.
You lived long, and you prospered, and I will miss you.

I haven't run a post-ENT campaign...yet. But it's on the cards some time.
One thing I'll be doing is retconning the Daedelus class to actually be a production variant of the modified NX-class, the...

Well, just to be clear, I don't have a relatively negative view of computer modelling futurism - I just think we should be aware of its limitations. Computer modelling is fantastic when we can...

Bah! C5 ninja'd me! :)

Nope, that doesn't address what I'm saying. I'm talking about unpredictable variables introduced into the modeling. Doesn't matter how powerful a computer model is, if it misses a variable, it will...

Well, they might, and from our position in 2014, they may even be likely...but my point is that we cannot, by definition, predict the unpredictable.

Back in the 1920s every "futurist" depiction...

Waveman,

With respect, isn't the "inevitability" argument you're using a little like someone in the late 19th century steadfastly maintaining the inevitability of extremely efficient...

I think Picard summed up the general Federation attitude to genetic manipulation of humans in the episode "The Masterpiece Society":

"They have given their humanity away to this genetic...

Out of curiosity, has anyone "ICON-ified" the CODA Professional Abilities into Edges?

Excellent excuse to get a late 24th century crew onto a Connie! :)

For some reason, I just glanced at my join date for these forums. I feel like I've been here for a while - I probably would have said "four or five years" if someone had asked. Nope...

November...

I know, I know *sad face*.
I can't remember how it worked in ICON...what was the equivalent? Maybe I should break it up into several sub-areas...

I do like the idea of them not having all their starting gear - definitely keeping that! :)

As far as the transporters go, I'm trying to avoid a situation where they say: "Oh, we need to get from...

Mine was actually going to be a "steal" from the sci-fi game 2300AD, if you're familiar with it. The setting will be a couple of years after the Dominion War, with the reopening of the wormhole, and...

Very nice, Owen.

I've been slowly developing a colony-support-based series, and was going to use a Pleiades class ship as the base of operations - but you've inspired me to instead use an...

Well, yeah. Like I said earlier, it would actually be mechanically better for the character to have an across-the-board +2 bonus, but it wouldn't feel as odd.

Still...I think on balance I might...

I see what you're saying, TDK, but my issue isn't with the ability to do the repair, it's with having a specialisation in it.

So yeah - by all means, my time-travelling Starfleet engineer can fix...

Is it just me, or is the Engineer Professional Ability "Fix-It" (from the Ops Manual) broken?

As it stands, it reads: "When acquiring Repair, the engineer learns all skill specialties". Really?...

Thanks, guys - much appreciated.

Dan, I'll let you know when I'm finished. I'm about halfway through the "Lieutenant" levels now - but I'm back to work tomorrow so that will slow things down.
On...

Don't go to any trouble, Owen - is it on your Memory Icon site as a web page?
I can get it from there and do that work myself. Seriously, I appreciate the offer, but I don't want to put anyone out...

I'd appreciate anything anyone's got! :)
I'll probably keep doing what I'm doing as well, however, as I'm on a roll and I find this sort of thing relaxing once I get into it. I'd love to see any of...

Okay, I'm working my way through them using a modification of GandalfOfBorg's most excellent Excel character sheet. I've completed all Starfleet Starship Officer specialties at Ensign level (except...

A little like that, TDK, but more generic (I'm still nicking those ones you posted, though... :) ). Truth be told, I think I'm almost looking for a LUG-style Overlay.

Ideally, I would have about...

Hi guys,
Recently getting back into ST RPG. I'm looking for a list of CODA NPCs - an expansion on the handful that are listed in the Narrator's Guide. I'm not after a list of main characters from...

"To boldly shhhushhh! like no-one has shushed before!" :)
