Oh, I don't know Owen...
Remember, the Borg told Picard; "Death is Irrelevant", so maybe...
I will say you're right about the 'tech of the time', but hey if 'Marty and the Doc' could figure out a way to jumpstart that Delorean...same way, different equipment.
I could also see this game barrowing from video games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill...remember: Player get reeeeally freaked when the mutated/mutalated dogs (and other animals) attack, so remember that (plus, with the planet being so primative they'd have to experiment with animals first...hey, I said the planet was primative didn't I...hmmm, a army of Borged squirrels...)
...and that's about the time it hit the fan...
Truisms I know:
1) Marvel is NOT better than DC (nor should EVERYTHING be ‘ULTIMITED’),
2) D20 is NOT the best gaming system out there (nor should EVERYTHING be ‘crammed’ into it),
3) And No matter how ‘THEY’ dress it up, Regardless of how ‘THEY’ title it, and even if ‘THEY’ say “BASED ON…”; “ENTERPRISE” IS NOT STAR TREK!!!
4) 'Reality' T.V. ain't 'Real'
