NX-01 and the Loknar

[Dan Stack]

Everyone seems to compare the new/old Enterprise to the Loknar. But...

I just realized, looking at my old "Decision at Midnight" adventure. Anyone remember FASA-Trek? NX-01 looks a lot like one of my favorite designs of that era, the Loknar class...

Send me back aboard the the Arkadelphia. I trust my good friend Captain Ian Vellacora. He must have a reason for violating the Neutral Zone. And I rather like that loud Izaran music piped through the ship...

[Capt Daniel Hunter]

Ahh, I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice that as well.

She does indeed look an awful lot like the Loknar. I liked that design too. And Decision at Midnight was a great module. I must've run it at least twice.

[DaveTalley]

I think I ran the thing 10 times
was great for a convention game

one time I even wore a fancy borrowed bathrobe duirng the more insane scenes, tied the belt around my head like his picture, was speaking loudly about his freind LORD GARTH!!

what a blast

I also own the original module and come to think of it it sure looks like a Loknar....

[Captain Zymmer]

Yes she does look like the Loknar...excellent...I am glad to see that. Makes me happy.

I miss the Mopvie Gen/TOS Fasa stuff...so simple and uncluttered...TNG is so cluttered and super-powerful...

[REG]

...anyway. Viewers out there are still going to call it the Akiraprise.

[Capt Daniel Hunter]

The Loknar was actually one of the better FASA TOS era designs. It's simplicity matched well to the original Constitution class.

Hmm, given the way the NX-01 looks, I might actually make the Loknar canon in my campaign. It would fit rather well.

[Captain Blake]

But, REG, Loknarprise doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

i never would have made the connection. guess i can't get Akira out of my head. you're right though, it does look like a Loknar.

i picked up "Decision at Midnight" last year on eBay. Always wondered how it would run. Anybody like the Derf class? That's one of my favorites.

[Flamestrike]

As long as we're getting into FASA ships, I gotta put my vote down for the Royal Sovereign-class...

[Capt Daniel Hunter]

Hmm, was never much enamoured of any of those FASA TNG designs. They did a great job with many of their TOS/Movie designs, but the TNG stuff just looked rushed.

I always liked the Northampton class Had many happy sessions playing that baby in the old combat sim.

[Admiral Wolf]

Heh,

Yeah she does look very much like the old Loknar's....

I had a player who commanded a Loknar (USS-Dallas) threw an entire war campagne....damn good ship for that time/game period.

He got the hell beat out of himself and his ship, but lived to tell about it.

[Miymaani]

Personally, I'm quite fond of the 01 Enterprise. I like to think of such things as the Loknar, Akira, and even Reliant classes as classic designs, just as much as the Kirk-era enterprise...

[DaveTalley]

yep
loved the Loknar

I saw the name Hobbiton on the registry and HAD to use it,
I went and did up a set of blueprints for the whole ship, including the Hobbit Hole (10 Forward) and the captains quarters had a round door, lots of jokes in that campaign, such as whenever the Tellarite Engineer didnt make it, he had swine flu....
the securitty officer was infamous, he had survived 4 years on the Enterprise under Kirk, (night shift) and the Andorian science offcer became XO the Captain , eventually was better than spock on sensors, he built a sensor readout into his captains chair
