Thanks for that-

Can you give me any hints-like did you include anything at all from Nemesis-Is there a small "Starbird" type ship?

I realise I'm being a bad monkey asking this but I must know!

Well I can rest easier knowing the Star Empire will have a diverse fleet.

Nemesis? Just how much juice do you think I have? Heck, I haven't even seen the trailer yet.

I covered all the eras of Trek (at least the Romulan side) for you and kept as much to canon as possible. I'm not sure if I can list them out without breaking the NDA .

If there are any canon buffs out there, let me assure you that I am one too. When working up the stats for the ships, there were four references I used in order of priority:
1. What I saw on the screen
2. What ye olde Star Trek Encyclopedia told me
3. What they told me in those Pocket Books
4. Old LUG Material (minus anything that would constitute copyright infringement).


In my section, there are some homages to past posters here as well: not as much of one as was given to another poster in a LUGTrek adventure that appeared in Game Trader, but there are two posters here who appear in some shape or form in my section (editor willing).

I second that motion!

::looks at the DC Hero Clix he just brought home from Gen Con::

Um... Then again, maybe I don't need another addiction...

"Now if only we could get Wiz Kids and Decipher to team up and make Star Trek Hero Clicks for ships"

Please God, no. I know Decipher made its rise to the top by virtue of CCGs, but if this happens, I'll end up with a fleet of Nebula and Oberth class ships and have to pay some pimply-faced 30yr. old geek (who lives in his mother's basement) half of my rent money to get a Connie, Galaxy, Defiant, Intrepid or Soverign. Or I could wait five years and get them for 50 cents on eBay.

I, personally would rather see miniatures along the lines of what FASA had done for its Trek game and/or Star Fleet Battles minis (which I'm using for my TOS-era game until something better comes along).

Lest I become the latest target of flamers, I have this to say: These are my biased and personal opinions. If they offend your delicate sensibilities, then simply ignore me.

I would like to see a nice line of miniatures for the newer series come out. For that matter bring back some of the old ones. If anything print up carboard box figures like in Renegade legion.

Unfortunately the paint job(s) on the Hero-Clix stuff is not worth the money, otherwise I'd be running superhero fights left and right. I hear those guys (WHIZ-KIDS?) are going to put out other Hero Groups (DC, Amalgam...etc...) so you can see if Batman could beat the %^#$ out of Judge Dread and The Punisher or if they'll bury him in the 'ole Batmobile.

Although the idea of "Starship-Clix" would be kinda cool...how badly can you screw up the paint-job of the Enterprise (no bloody A,B,C,D...or E)? I would only invest money in that if they...a)didn't randomize what you get...AND b)if they put out the Akira Class. I don't care if they're to scale with each other...primarilly because the Borg-Clix would be f@*#king huge compared to anything else. You'd also have to be able to modify the Clix dials because there are going to be guys who build a ship that looks like the Enterprise-A but has the firepower/shields of the Enterprise-E...and don't tell me you don't have at least one person in your gaming group like that.

Just checking. Is England still "Merry Old England" or is it just "Plain Old England" these days...no offense intended to anyone's "National Pride".

I think "Merry Old England" is what Yank tourists believe they are visiting when they come here.

And of course Britian really isn't so "Great" anymore.

I am truly sorry to hear that. I liked England...what I saw of it almost 20 years ago.

Although around here (NYC) we're now "The city that never sleeps 'cause we have good reason not to...wanna make something of it?" Its very hard to fit that on a bumper sticker. I hear that we may be changing the image on the licesnce plates from the Statue of Liberty to a giant middle finger...I've always thought it should be the Statue with a baseball bat with the new state motto of "You gotta problem?" at the bottom. That's just me.

I suspect talk of merry old England and other locales would be more appopriate in the general chat are.

That's why the bumper sticker was shortened to " Welcome to NY, NOW LEAVE!"
