Yes. That's pretty much what I did.



Tablemaster was ok... if your ref had a large allotment of common sence.

I did pretty much the same as you did, except that I was a bit lazy and...

A skilled swordsman armed with a dagger is more dangerous than a fool armed with a broadsword. I will cite the book "VULCAN's FORGE" as evidence of this.

Besides, the simple economics of...

You could always use a dedicated EW ship... strip the ship down to the bare essentials (keep the phasers for point defence) and then load it to the gills with EW jamming, ECM/ECCM and deception...

AAhhh yes... the old "flashlight on the relativistic observer trick"...

Switching inertial reference frames can be a headache. But since we're on the topic of...

OK, I've incorporated the material posted here and some new arts I've been working on (e.g. one for the Gorn, and Capoeria, etc.). I've also run the thing by a couple of sets of eyes for proof...

If it's ok, I'll add this to the slowly growing PDF collection.

Well OK then... If anybody has anything else to add to the mix, fire away! I can add the whole thing into one big agglomeration and then post it to "this" page for review. (After having it...

Cooling... that's an interesting problem. Theoretically, it would be better to have a truely adiabatic system, as your plasma will be more energetic at higher temperatures. Too bad the stuff you...

The existing designs for M/AM Reactors have bottom mounted piping which draws anti-duterium from the storage pods. There's no real reason why your active AM pod couldn't be stored below the center...

You may have a point there. What if your torroidal reactor has to "pulse" fire its cores in the same way that an internal combustion engine has to fire its cylinders in succession. This way you...

If it's alright with you guys, I'd like to include some of the material posted on this board in my handouts. I'm always looking for new stuff to use on my players...

Well, the Roms use a quantum singularity (itty bitty black hole) to power their ships. The basic premise here is that if you keep feeding the thing hydrogen, you can siphon off energetic plasma from...

OK, the file's en route.

"Any society which is willing to surrender essential liberties in order to gain security, shall in the end have neither."

I put together a PDF file for handouts to my players which contains everything I could track down (except for the Andorian book stuff) with a few tweaks and changes of my own thrown in for flavor. ...

How about using tribbles! Just keep a good supply of quadrotriticale on hand and you can have a self replicating energy source! (I'm not sure about the wheel though... nobody has ever seen how the...

Does anybody know a good location to download suitable mood music MP3 files (preferrably stuff that is not copyrighted and has a sci-fi or trek feel to it)? I've decided to try to add some...

You must be armor. (and they said the cavalry was dead!)

You pretty much took the same stance I was going to. The problem with role playing vs roll playing is often just trying to pin down when...

I know I'm gonna get shot for asking this (especially in the midst of the game), but why doesn't the borg cube simply rotate itself to present a new shield facing?

My understanding of the borg...

This assumes that newtonian conservation of momentum applies to FTL physics. There is no cannon evidence for this, and some cannon evidence that ships have very little classical "momentum" while at...

Here's a couple of sytstems you may want to add to your list:

Launch Tubes: SU = 5 x size of largest craft launched. Power = 2 x largest craft launched. Launch tubes require a flight deck and...

Or, even better yet, could an enemy (or a crafty referee) force an accidental saucer separation by means of a well placed attack!

("Korg... lock all disruptors on the saucer's main pylon... let's...

Actually, it does. The oblong module at the front of the ship contains a "glowing grid" that is referred to as the nav deflector in every manual and "official" diagram i've seen so far.

As for...

No disagreements there. I personally think that the saucer sep feature should only be used when things truely go south... Any captain who detatched the saucer durring a battle needs to be removed...

Saucer separation has its uses in a survivability situation. Having a large chunk of your ship that can serve as a lifepod in and of itself is a boon to preserving the crew. Take the Apollo 13...

If memory serves, the Galaxy upgrade Enterprise seen in "All Good Things..." was pretty much the same ship as earlier, except for the third warp nacelle, the cloaking device, and the "wave motion...
