My understanding is that the TOS characters in the books are at the end of the five year mission. In the movie, the characters have just graduated from Star Fleet at the end of the movie (at least...

Thanks for the reply. All I can find is the new Enterprise and the Kelvin. Was there something else that you were referring to?

Has anyone made the characters from the reimaged movie? I'd love to see an interpretation. (In fact, I'd love to see any CODA conversions that have been done for the movie.)

Great idea! This actually is during the era when the Klingons are allies with the Federation. The crew of the Bird of Prey has been killed and the characters must use the ship to get away from an...

Hmmm ... inspiring evil GM ideas! I love it >:)

Thanks for the great ideas. It's good to know that there's a community out there that will still support the game.

I've been away for a long time and can't remember if there is a rule for flying an alien vessel. How would you handle having PCs fly a Klingon vessel if none of them speak Klingon?

Where there is a computer interface, your analogy makes sense. Wouldn't it make just as much sense to still have separate skill (a skill group) and allow an affinity bonus for computer use? That...

I think this might be the crux of the matter. Can ethical and moral decisions be reduced to logical subroutines or algorithms? Or do emotions lie at the very heart of moral and ethical decisions? ...

This doesn't really have anything to do with Star Trek ... please forgive me.

I don't want to get technical here about intelligence and social intelligence etc.. You do make an interesting point...

I shouldn't have asked that question about Troi working with Crusher. I confess not watching the show enough to really be considered a Trekkie :eek: . But I wanna be!

So you're suggesting that...

Psychological research backs up BCq's position. The vast majority of highly intelligent people are indistinguishable from those of normal intelligence in terms of their social abilities. The...

System Operation is a skill with specialties and not a skill group. Therefore, if I have 5 levels of system operation then I can raise shields, pilot, and use "virtually any technologically advanced...

Have any of you read the Starfleet Corps of Engineers books? They look interesting.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I still haven't tracked any of these down but I plan to do so soon. South eastern Idaho doesn't have the greatest selection of Sci-fi books in the public libraries. ...

Does the DS9 Tech Manual have deckplans for the Defiant and for DS9? I couldn't find it in any local bookstores. Amazon.com is asking $72.85 for it! That sounds really expensive to me.

What is the rationale behind combining the reliability instead of having separate reliabilities and separate damage tracks? It would seem that one system could be knocked out, or off-line, and the...

I kind of like that idea too. Of course, it is always fun to occasionally throw in an opponent that also has that ability, especially if the PCs don't have it! :eek:

I bought the CODA books a while back but haven't really played them. I was getting ready to and found someone whose name I have forgotten. He sent me an adventure he had written called "Fever"...

Ah ... that helps! Thank you!

I seem to be making a mistake in designing CODA starships or there is an error in the Defiant Class found on page 52 of Starships. Please help me to identify where I am in error.

(Since I'm new...

Is anyone aware of a utility to assist in designing CODA starships? For example is there a spreadsheet that will automatically do the calculations? (Such a utility might be a violation of...

I read the Vulcan Academy Murders a number of years ago. It was quite good. I didn't know it had a sequel.

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I'll see if our local library has them.

I'm...

I'm really a beginner when it comes to Star Trek. I've read a few novels, seen all the movies and most of the episodes of TOS and TNG. I have a bit o' reading time coming up in a few weeks and...

Well, if two can be considered a consensus then it looks like the opinion is not to buy it. I have all the other Star Trek books but haven't done too much with them yet. I'm trying to get a...
