Okay, the latest stuff on the USS Leonidas:
I stripped her down a bit and changed some systems:
The bigger Typ IX Phasers of the LAKOTA subclass of the EXCELSIOR replace the Typ VIII
She...
The AMBASSADOR class seems to be Trek's "ugly duckling", sitting between the mass-produced and almost as capabel EXCELSIOR and the new, big GALAXIE.
Since an AMBASSADOR will be the players ship...

I used a Constitution/Constillation hybrid (basically an Enterprise-A with warp core/nacelles[only 2] of the Constillation) as the guard ship of a waay out there weapons test (and "let's get the...
CASTING Honor Harrington:
As much a fan of Claudia Christian I am (Ivanovah IS! GOD!) I think she's a bit to old for the role and much to muscular. I envision Honor more with a "dancers body",...
Fair Warning:
I am not a Treckie. Trek is my "If nothing else SciFi/Action runs" series. I hate TOS (and dislike Shattner unless as a yoke like "Miss Congeniality") and the early years of TNG....
Problem I: There is no German Empire before Bismarks &Moltkes little holliday trip in 1870/1871, just a bunch of independent nations and Prussia
Problem II: Until the times of Willhelm II (1890+)...
I would/will use it this way:
Sure, the borg can adapt to a projectile. Only problem is, a gunpowder weapon changes charakteristics every round. So while Drone 4711 has adapted to a round fired,...
"I was there, when StarFleet got a bit more aggressiv"
Somewhere on the lower backside of the federation space lies an old mining/colonisation station of the O'Neill type. No longer used it was...
Gun laws, Gun control:
Germany has quite severe gun control laws like:
No automatic weapons
No semi-auto versions of automatic weapons
Every weapon must be registered
Diverence between...
Only one in Trek (and there I am not GM'ing).
Bayoran Star Fleet (now: Ground Forces) Officer that played the stereotipical Bajoran: Religious conservative with a near-pathological hatred for...
IIRC the captian in the "Cain" was not only a stickler to rules but also a coward and non too bright (I remember somethink like: "Checked only a certain route, so we only cleaned that route")
A...
What about:
The British board members?
The Australian board members?
The French board members?
All the other nations I missed?
The europeans in here can make a little experiement:
If your grandparents or even parents have been subjected to WW II bombings (Rotterdam, London, Coventry, Dresden, Hamburg, ...) ask them how...
Okay, part II of the Krauts:
Educational System:
At age six german children enter basic school (Grundschule) where they spend the next four years.
After that they are transfered to one of...
Okay, let's start with a social democrats view on
Germany
System: Federal Democracy. Currently constist of 16 Bundesländer (states). Each state has it's own government (Landtag)...
The idea behind this threat is for one or two persons from each nation represented here to give a short overview of his/her political system and nation. This should include:
Basic system...
News from the US (german view):
Quite a lot (CNN is on satellite over here in germany) and TIME is readily available even in small rural communities.
For us the US is important (Wallstreet and...
The old fart fixed in his inflexible ways? http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif
Hey, I never claimed that Europe is perfect. All depending on ones Point of View. The teenager just comes in...
We work by the rule:
Characters die heros or ideots
So a dead character normaly is not a big deal. And they don't die that often and then mostly the later. In the last five years we had:...
I imagine Klingon weeks at the "Replimat":
Do you want your Gagh stunned?

That is our german yealousy. We tried the same with french tourists but too many speak german for it to work. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif
