I tend to agree that even though it modifies a lot of skills it is probably within the intention of the designers.

So do you all think that the Ops EP skills are included in those modified...

The Operations Manual presents the "Cross-Trained" skill under the Ops profession. It says:

"When performing the professional skill of another Starfleet Officer elite profession, the operations...

The Starship Counselor Elite Profession lists Social Science as a prerequisite, and the Medical Officer EP lists Investigate as a Prerequisite. Does anyone see a potential balance problem by adding...

I'm not a tough guy or anything, but I've done jiu-jitsu and judo for several years and even though there are competition rules the skills are more than useful in a real combat situation. I was...

The DS9 book shows both Sisko and Dax as having wrestling as a specialization under Athletics. That would lead me to believe you could use Athletics to simulate a grappling skill in combat. Does...

I figured that someone would point out the nature of the mission (understaffed, chasing the Maquis) as a disqualifying factor. That's totally reasonable, but it would still stand to reason that a...

I know this topic is nearly dead, but I'm still churning through Voyager and an episode shed some light. There's an episode late in the 5th season where 7of9 is considering crewman to go on her...

Looks like all the pre-gen characters have 55 points of attributes, haven't figured out how they distribute skills and focuses yet.

Got mine too. The sample characters seem very "rules-lite" to me. I'd really like to see the character generation rules expecially going beyond starting cadets to see what the characters look like...

Two quick questions about potential adjustments/interpretations to the Space Science skill.

1 - With respect to Navigations and such, does it make sense to have specializations in both...

I'm sorry if this has already been answered - I'm sure its a basic issue that has been covered but I've searched all over this forum and anywhere else online and I've come up short. The TOS core...

As a side note, I'm working my way through Voyager season 3 and there almost always seems to be a red-shirted command officer at Mission Ops. Not sure what that really means, unless a red-shirted...

Good point. Still don't like the Command overlay for some reason.

Well, I rewatched Wrath of Kahn today and maybe I was wrong. It certainly seems that Saavik is presented as a Command officer as written in the book. Even though she's a trainee she's allowed to...

I can see the value of the Code disadvantage when it comes to a more concrete way of adjudicating renown. If Kirk goes against the rules he doesn't suffer, but Picard would because his respect is...

I've looked in my books and dug around on these boards and I haven't really found what I'm looking for. Does anyone have a specific set of guidelines on what the Starfleet Code of Honor Disadvantage...

My assumption is that the "line officers" who might take over the Conn on different shifts or when the Capt. and XO leave the bridge would also need some rudimentary tactical knowledge. The Bridge...

i've definitely considered Tactical officers to be Command brand based on what has been seen in TNG and DS9. By that time it seems like there is a distinct difference in role between Tactical and...

Thanks for the responses - glad to see people are still commenting on the ICON system.

I understand that it is totally fiction, but it doesn't seem to make sense to churn out so many managers, or...

This feels like a dumb question (and I know that these forums are tumbleweeds these days) but I'm working on a LUG game and I have a question about the in-universe reality of starfleet...
