    Based on the information I have (which, as I mentioned, may be subject to change), yes. There are guidelines for creating PC and NPC species.

    Talking Ahhhhhh the game's afoot! :-)

    <decloaking>

    First, let me say that for some odd reason I am suddenly reminded of the scene in Undiscovered Country where there is now the Excelsior as well as the Enterprise for the BoP to shoot at.

    Second, Welcome Doug, I know I and a couple of friends are glad to see the decloaking of your Ambasadorial shuttle.

    Third, Seeing as how I hope to restart a Campaign of mine.... How easy will it be to use the existing LUGTrek items with the new game? (Since I'm assuming that some of that info has been sorted out better with the NG on the horizon and proofing)

    Also, any word on Maps or Deckplans?

    THank you greatly!

    Heck, I'll probably get it faster ordering online than if I wait for the shops over here to get it in

    I so love the internet.

    I can't get over how everyone thinks your a newbie to the boards from Decipher Doug

    Seriously though when did Decipher pick you up as such?

    And thanks for the extra source of info.

    I suppose we should have said 'congratulations on the job' rather than 'welcome to the board'

    Is the game playable with just the Player's Guide? Are there combat rules and the like in the book? I see character gen and background chapters in the list, but are there enough rules to get going without the NG?

    Funny, but that same scene popped into my head as well.

    At this time, a conversion between ICON and CODA is still in the works. Until that time, conversion would be done by basically winging it. But it's not like we haven't done that before, right?

    Also, any word on Maps or Deckplans?
    I know they have been discussed, but as I understand it, they haven't come to any concrete conculsions as of yet.

    Yeah, I found it amusing as well, Sig.

    Seriously though when did Decipher pick you up as such?
    Remember when Decipher posted a press release back in April about email addresses to ask RPG questions? (For the curious, that release is right here.) Those addresses went (and still go) to me.

    No biggie, Capt. Hunter. I know how excited everyone's getting about the new game, so forgetting about a semi-lurking regular like me is no skin off my nose.

    I'm honored that you think I'd have anything interesting to say, Doc. Seriously, tho, I need to install mIRC on this system and then see what's going on with my schedule, but otherwise I don't see why I can't try to work something out...

    Yep. The Appendix is the basics of the CODA system and combat rules.

    Considering that's what was going through my mind as I wrote it....

    And thanks for the prompt and enlightening responses. It makes the wait a little more bearable.

    Thanks for the info on character creation, Doug. Sounds good to me.

    One more related question: when we're creating characters, can we do it with less page-flipping than ICON?

    OK, make that one-and-a-half more related questions: when we do have to flip pages, are there cross-references to point us in the right direction? IE, "Choose one new starship op skill (pg 44)." Of course, the hypothetical page 44 would list and/or describe starship op skills.
