    Star Trek: Enterprise Update

    Is there any interest in a fan supplement for Enterprise for the FASA game? I wanted to work on one this summer as an interesting side project, but I didn’t want to do it if no one was really interested. Please let me know if the interest is there, it will be a design similar to the Star Trek TNG sourcebook written by FASA.

    Disclaimer: This project is purely a fan sourcebook and has no affiliation to Battlefield Press, Inc. its subsidiaries.

    I suspect there are more FASA gamers out there than is generally believed and I'm sure anything to support an Enterprise era seting would be appreciated. However, you'll be starting pretty much from scratch. There is the website: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/steven....ships_menu.htm
    That covers a lot of the early Trek years. It's better than having to create everything on your own.

    This much I guessed, thanks for the website I think it might help a little. I just didnt want to start on a project where I was the only one interested. I have all of Enterprise on tape, and I have wanted to rewatch them over the course of the summer and write up some RPG material based on it. I own all the incarnations of the various Trek RPGs and I prefer the FASA one to any of the others (YMMV of course). After I get back from Project A-kon in Dallas, Texas next weekend I will pull out my season one episodes and get to work on the background material. If anyone wants to assist, or be of any help at all then please dont hesitate to contact me.

    Someone else you might want to talk with on FASA ship-building:
    http://www.sub-odeon.com/stsstcsmua/
    I've used stuff from his site in the past, and most likely will again.

    I have designed some ships for the FASA game in the past, but did it with help. So more help would be appreciated. Thanks for the info and I will contract this person after the con.

    I forgot to mention the following site: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheFAS...iverseE-group/
    They have several files with the FASA starship construction data for all the major races. However, you will have to have a copy of the FASA Starship Constuction Manual to use this information.

    Since there are no shields on the NX 01, what skill would you suggest to give characters for being able to polarize the hull plating effectively?

    I'd still call it shield operations, as the concept is still the same 'energy used to protect the ship'.

    Sounds good to me, was thinking that, and wanted to get a second opinion. Thanks.

    This is true, I am all over the site. I think its one of the best sites I have seen in awhile and I am going to be using what I can for the Enterprise book I am working on.
