And so it begins............

How about a Federation for Law and Government, funding a former Starfleet Security officer as he travels to the galaxy's hot spots. A lone gunman, on a crusade for justice....

Piloting a sentient shuttlecraft with a positronic brain and the latest in sensors, computer and communications, electronic countermeasures equipment,enhanced engines with a burst pursuit speed of warp 9.99, molecular armor, a redesigned nav deflector than pans back and forth going whoo whoo... whoo whoo and talks with a British accent! the Star Rider!

Or a Skyhawk class hoverbike with phaser weapons, photon grenades, and a looping evasive manuver that will theoretically send you into a backwards flip and kill you.

Or we can re enact the great Tribble war and replace the Tribbles with POKEMON

oh i need help....

Arrgh what next, The Power Rangers? I mean it was a bad joke a few years back that as a April's Fool joke the chief engineer rigged the communicators on our ship to beep the Power Rangers theme but can you see it...Okay stop it.

How about a Starfleet Intelligence unit which specialises in impossible missions and if any member of the team are captured or killed, the Secretary will disavow all knowledge of your activities.Disguise skill is a must and they never once use their phasers prefering to let the baddies take out their own.

"Ten years ago a crack Starfleet RRT unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Federation Frontier.

Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune.

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire Team Alpha."


Starring;
Captain John 'Hannibal' Smith - Human Unit Commander.

Lieutenant 'Faceman' Templeton Peck - Alpha Centurian Espionage Specialist.

'Bad Attitude' Bar'Akras - Klingon Engineer/Heavy Weapons Specialist

Lieutenent 'Howling Mad' Murdock - Human Pilot, currently residing in a Federation hospital for the Mentally Impared. Thought to associate with Team Alpha but no proof has been found.

Cadet Amy Amanda Allen - Starfleet Cadet studying Operations and Communications, she has discovered Team Alphas true identity and helps them occasionally.

Every thought of having the actors in TNG play the A-Team.

Patrick Steward as Hannibal Smith
Jonathan Frakes as Faceman
Michael Dorn as BA
I think Dwight Schwaltz as an alumni of both shows should stay on as Murdock.

Okay, folks... Time to start framing the thread in an ICONTrek RPG paradigm, rather than playing the "casting" game... Amusing though that can be, let's keep the focus.

First of all, the StarWolf idea isn't bad at all!

I'm a fan of Airwolf from way back (wear an Airwolf patch on my jacket), and that was the best translation I've ever seen.

Ok, the rest of you are now officialy off my christmas card list this year. J.Ramiez wins the prize of over 300 christmas cards mailed directly to his house, while the rest of you will be attacked by giant 50ft long Plecostomii as you settle down for a long winters nap...

Just kiding!

Now... Lets get this back on track. I like the concept of a Borg co-pilot,Ernest Borg 9 or what ever . I belive some one mentioned a klingon take on Archangel?

I won't be back for about two weeks as I'm getting my arm worked on. I asked the doc to remove my arm and replace it with a Dremmel Multi-Tool, but he said no it was just a burn and took away my pain pills.

PS: Praise the Pleco! SPACEDOCK AT LAST!

ARRGH! THAT DAMN FISH!

Sorry Ghosty, Power Rangers/Star Trek's been done (http://www.angelfire.com/hi/ussranger/ , and bring an 'airline bag'. )
And you you know what's funny, sevral things/shows within this tread have a commonality (http://members.tripod.com/~DesignR/ , trust me, take the blue pil...whoops sorry wrong franchise ).

Now, if 'Starworf' does nothing else, it should show two thing:
1) There are tons of potential ideas from within the media. (and)
2)(game-wise) It is possible to run a game with 'just' the PCs, and not need a ton and a half of NPCs to back them up (sure you still need NPCs to help 'gloss' over the rough spots...but this happens in regular games too )
(BTW: since I've seen both series, how/when are you going to replace the 'existing crew', like they did in the second series...)
(Sorry Owen if this wasn't what you had in mind, just thought I'd put in a couple of creds )

------------------
...and that's about the time it hit the fan...

Sorry that should've been 'Starwolf'...someday I'll get the hang of this new fangled 'keyboard' thingee.

Ok...I know this thread has been somewhat dead for a bit, but I've got one (and it actually made an appearance in a game of mine...once). Here goes:

A Federation luxury liner that travels from system to system (though it almost always stops at Risa...I mean, it just HAS to!). It's captained by a former Starfleet Captain who retired, rather than take a desk job. His name...Captain Stubing



Ok, now bear with me here...the ship has all sorts of interesting characters, from the slightly nerdy ship's doctor to the swinging ship's bartender (heck, he could even be El-Aurian). And, of course, don't forget about the ship's purser (nicknamed Tribble), as well as the Betazoid recreation director. For comic relief, and to attract the young viewers, there's the Captain's daughter, who gets into trouble on a regular basis!

Also, don't forget about the super guest-stars that would be around...especially Charo! It would be a great time to bring all of your favorite characters from all the tv series!

The ship would be Princess-class liner, the USS Loveship!

Now, everybody sing along with me!

Love, exciting and new
Come Aboard. We're expecting you.
Love, life's sweetest reward.
Let it warp, it warps back to you.
The Love Ship soon will be making another run
The Love Ship promises something for everyone
Lay in a course for adventure,
Your mind on a new romance.
Love won't hurt anymore
It's an open smile on a friendly planet's shore.
Yes LOVE! It's LOVE!
The Love Ship soon will be making another run
The Love Ship promises something for everyone
Lay in a course for adventure,
Your mind on a new romance.
Love won't hurt anymore
It's an open smile on a friendly planet's shore.
It's LOVE! It's LOVE! It's LOVE!
It's the Love Ship-ah! It's the Love Ship-ah!

Groan...

However, the Loveboat scenario actually has the potential to be useable... 'Course, you'd have to file off the serial numbers (i.e. change the names) so the players don't immediately catch on to the joke. Naturally, it would have to be handled as one of those light-hearted comedy episodes like The Trouble With Tribbles or The Magnificent Ferengi - or would it? I'm put in mind of the Dark Conspiracy adventure I ran where all the NPCs were analogues of the characters from Gilligan's Island.

The adventure needn't literally happen on a ship - a resort on Risa would serve as a good substitute. You'd have to throw in some sort of underlying theme to tie everything together. (Alternatively, the resort could be run by a guy who bears a striking resemblance to Khan Noonian Singh.)

[Doug Burke]

With judicious use of holdeck technology, Fantasy Island could be quite the bizarre crossover. Especially if you go with the original movie's more sinister Mr. Roark.

Don't take this personally -- but that idea was JUST PLAIN EVIL!!

I think it was the song that was just a teeny little bit overkill...
