Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

From Spock's Brain to Yesterday's Enterprise, from the Prime Directive to Rokeg Blood Pie, this is where we talk about the most pointy-eared sci-fi franchise of them all. Engage.

Also a guy is selling already-built models of Defiant and Voyager on eBay for £10 each. I already got Reliant off this guy. Should I go for them?
Garak is awesome
that is all
Is your Reliant any good? If so, then yes.
The ending conversation between Picard and LaForge might as well have gone
"I love travelling and visting people I know and doing things but all this time driving my car is destroying our planet!"
"Yes captain but there is still time to stop it; [turn to face camera] turn your lights off, take the bus!"
because i distinctly remember/recognize that game and recall it being awesome when i was a kid
What do they look like?
I dont know how I feel about a slight desire to own a Defiant model...
Star Trek 25th Anniversary (for the PC - there were multiple other games of that name for the NES, Game Boy and god knows what else)
And it was great, yeah.
Actual Play: Mage: the Awakening - At the Edge of All Things
Where did you hear that? That would have been a pretty interesting move.
Nope, Star Trek Companion. Big encyclopedia like book.
They could conceivably launch a new series with its own corner of continuity in that format. Quite a bit of potential for creative freedom, too.
Edit: I'm enough of a dork to have actually excited myself by this idea. So alright, you would only need to render the interior of that ship once. It becomes your principle set. You have a fully explorable ship at your disposal that you, as the developer, can put in various new situations, needing only to add new characters to visit said ship in addition to various away team locations per episode. Its frightening to consider how much money I would conceivably be willing to spend on a recurring, interactive Star Trek series.
Whatever game company is reading this: Take all my money. Take it all now.

In addition to being not my IP and very much without copyright.
My friend had that game, but we lost the book. The copy protection on it was, they'd send you to a certain star system, which you had to find using the star map and codes in the book. If you got it wrong you got jumped by like 3-4 klingons or romulans. So that basically all of the game I ever played. I did occasionally make it to the first planet, but never completed it.
Reliant
Defiant
Voyager
He also has a Runabout, a Cardassian Ship, a Maquis Fighter and a Kazon Warship, but I'm not interested in them.
I love these videos and I think they should put Shatner in any future ventures into the Star Trek films.
I HAD ONE OF THOSE!!!
Also, those models look really good. I would buy it if he would post to the US.
I still have one of those stored at my parents house. Still had it on a shelf on display until I moved out. Also have the Deep Space Nine and original Enterprise ones. Oh, and a Borg sphere for some reason. I think I have a Next Generation shuttlecraft too, not sure where that one is. Those were major fun back in the day.
And that guy does a great job with those models, but personally, I love actually building those model kits myself, so I'd probably never go for that.

I keep putting this game and its sequel, Star Trek: Judgement Rights up as a recommended "next game" for GOG.com, but to no avail. I imagine it's Paramount's fault since they have other Interplay titles in their catalog.
For some reason we stopped thinking this was a ridiculous leap in the 1970s.
edit -- that picture looked about 75% less horrible when it was a thumb nail I pulled off of Google images.
And that's why no one can bitch about the Star Trek reboot... it could have been so so so so so so much worse.
I very rarely seethe, but man...
To be fair, the Nebulon B cruisers were stolen from the imperials or had crews that defected. The troop transports are run-down freighters, the corvettes actually are a civilian ship that have been upgraded with heavier armor and military grade weapons and the Mon Calamari battle ship is a refitted luxury cruise liner. The X-wings themselves are a new fighter produced by a team of recently defected designers. Given an adequate hanger facility it seems likely they'd be able to build them from parts.
The Maquis though, don't seem likely to have a crew of renegade ship designers hanging around. Though with industrial replicator technology it doesn't seem like it would be impossible for them to come up with a standardized ship design.
One of the cute but not really cute episodes is The Outcast. As I was watching it I thought to myself that it was a novel idea they were taking and it had a sad ending. Then I was reading some Cracked last night and came across this article. This quote changed my mind on it though.
"The episode's message ends up completely garbled. Intended as a condemnation of homophobia, the episode instead comes off as the story of one woman's brave quest for cock in the face of lesbian tyranny."
It's not a ridiculous interpretation, in fact it's not an interpretation at all, it's esentially what's shown on screen. They chickened out on making it an episode about homophobia. Instead it's this nonsense about a woman boldly going where countless women have gone before.
The same happened with their episode on suicide. Instead it became some crazy Troi dream and the morale is that if a woman who likes you catches you with another woman she's likely to become irrational and kill you and herself... So lock your door beforehand, I guess.
Sure, if you are silly enough to ignore the fact that they aren't women but actually androgenous. The actors playing them are just women. But they are, you know, acting.
They have a few upgraded federation patrol craft - which they almost certainly had on the colonies to begin with to defend against pirates and whatnot (and simply refused to give up when the treaty was signed). They've been stealing federation weapons whenever they can and gluing them on to make them more effective.
Oh man.
Oh man.
You're going to be watching The Wrath of Kahn next. You're in for a treat.
Ah, to be able to watch that for the first time again.
