What do you think the Crew skill for the Enterprise was and what was Kirk’s Captain’s skill rateing for the Starship Tactical Combat Simulator.
You’re really gonna make my go up into my dusty attic this morning to get that info?
lol, SAY IT AINT SO! i HAVE MY BOOKS AT A CLOSER ARMS LENGTH, BUT HAVE NO iDEA WICH ONE TO DIG UP, i WAS JUST HOPEING THAT ONE OF YOU STILL HAD THAT INFO HANDY… OR IN MEMORY.
i DO REMEMBER THAT THE rpg STATS AREN’T THE SAME AS CAPTAINS’S RATEING… BUT i DON’T REMEMBER WHERE THE SIMULATOR STATS FOR NCC-1701 WERE. i DO REMEBER WHERE KIRKS RPG STATS ARE… BUT NOT THE SIMULATOR STATS.
I’m not sure they were ever directly stated. (if they were, it’s proably in one of the movie sourcebooks).
Yup, I have that too: complete stats you can fill in for a character sheet for Kirk.
But I think from that you can convert what you need for the simulator game right.
I mean you use his Leadership and Starship Strategy/Tactics skills or something like that.
I was a Star Fleet Battles player LONG before the FASA RPG ever come out.
I used that Starship Simulator game a bit, but I never really liked it as much as SFB.
I eventually set things up to use SFB with the FASE RPG.
And, I THINK, I even have that conversion info I made up. I’ll post it if I find it.
If you don’t set up a game at the 2010 GWC Nat’l Meetup I’ll be very disappointed. 
That would be very cool. I’ve got a year to teach all interested parties the rules.
You can download enough of it to play here.
Is anyone still making miniatures? (You don’t need the miniatures, but you NEED the miniatures.)
ETA: I should have remembered there was: Check these out.
Oh yeah, I’m with ya on need vs. NEED. I sure haven’t seen SFB (or any Trek) miniatures in stores anywhere. Although I haven’t been actively looking in a long time.
I’ve got a bunch, when I get a chance, I’ll set em up on my dinning room table and take a pic and post it.
Oh, and thanks for that link!!
Thot, see the edit on my previous post. You can get them from the same place.
Hooly Craaap!! They list a store called “Empire Games & Hobby” in Manchester, NH!!! I’ve never heard of it. I gotta check and see if it’s still around.
And I love this store---->
The Compleat Strategist
201 Massachusetts Avenue, Boston, Mass.
Website doesn’t work and phone doesn’t answer, so I’m thinking it’s gone. Oh well. 
There’s a store called The Comics Store in Nashua that may still carry 'em. Not that I’ve got an big need to buy 'em right now. I’m just curious to see if they still carry that kind of thing.
I’m sure that you can get 'em as a special order.
An afternoon for the intro game, a lifetime for the full game. I have all of the suppliments that TFG and ADB put out, and it fills two 3" binders. Not a game for the faint hearted.
I love the game, I just couldn’t find anyone that had the time to learn the rules and play with me.
As for the FASA RPG starship simulator, it was designed to be used for the RPG, and in that case it works great. I had a lot of fun playing it with a group of people.
Bringing back my college days. We had one person in our group that lost not just one but two count’em two B10’s. Never saw a person play soo badly. If I can make it up to the meet I’ll def be playing those games. Then when its 4:55 AM I’ll be sayin what the %^$%*( is that Sun going down again?
I would set up a fasa game with you guys at next years meetup. it’s not as good as SFB, but it’s more liesurely friendly. It is a more learn in 15 mins kinda game. ALSO I use Star Trek Micro machines instead of the old lead miniatures. You can find them pretty easy.
Gorram it. I’m going to have to make next years meet.
And the weird thing is that FINALLY playing SFB with a bunch of geeks is what’s going to do it.
One stipulation, we ditch the hex maps and go with the alternative free-space rules. I want to have an otherwise vacant room with geeks pushing their model ships around. I’ve dreamed of this for longer than most of you have been alive.
What you said. Make it a three day meetup and we can get some real Sci Fi. gaming in.
Having done this sort of thing at Origins, we will have a lot of beginners wanting to join in, so I recommend prepping stuff beforehand, have one or two judges to run the timing, and split any experienced players between the different teams.
I am so going next year…
ZOMG. If we do this right, we could have brackets.
Then even the people not playing could join in the fun calling the winners.
I don’t know if we want to have a tournament, but we may want to split up the games to a max of three or four people to a side at a table because too many people will really slow down the game, even if they all know what they are doing. And have multiple tables and have everyone compare notes afterward.
A cruiser and two destroyers per a side would be a great medium length game for six people.
I wouldn’t mind doing the FASA version of the game also.
Honestly, I have to stop talking about this because my mouth is starting to water with antici-(say it)-pation.
