design notes...

Of course Prime Directive is the big Trek Gurps setting, but it doesn't use 4th ed space rules. 4th ed space rules are very specific about what characters need (and a little contradictory; for example, an astronaut template with the "starship engineer" lacks skills to execute basic actions during space combat). You have to use Gurps rules... I still want to see PD though just to see their take. I plan on posting the command crew and then the Enterprise in all its overblown, oversized JJ-verse glory. Kirk here is a straight forward build; a combination of astronaut, starship captain, and the military background from Heroes with a little extra oompf from luck and high attributes. Also you'll notice that the main characters benefit from cinematic options in the rules while the rest of Trek "suffers" from harsh, harsh reality. In some cases it gets even worse with options like "cannon fodder" around. This is an outline for things to come in my homebrewed Trek stuff. Stay tuned. Scotty is next.

design notes...

Scotty! Very impressed with Pegg's job in the role. Into Darkness especially gives you an idea of who Scotty is more in the JJ verse. This build here is a simple combination of astronaut, engineer, and some extra points here and there meant to beef up Scotty to a point where he looks qualified. He's not meant to run around on an away team; he's more of a grease monkey with a smart mouth. Sulu should be coming up next.
