Star Trek

Just as a fun aside: I have a brief list of possible themes for the game. What tune should we boldly go across the galaxy to?

First thoughtson the ST themes:

• Simp Team take 2: classic

• Space Commander: ok, but all pomp, no circumstance

• Starship Theme:I like it, good balance of look at the scenery and go for the action

• Heroic fanfare: just what it says on the tin

No bad choices here, but I like the Starship theme best.

Btw, here's another from the same composer as "Space Commander". He just does music for particular types of scenes; definitely good for those certain circumstances, but not a lot of epic, sweeping main titles, I guess.

I think I like Journey to the Stars (this fifth one) best. I also like Sci-Fi Fanfare out of the original 4.

It was today o' clock (I guess yesterday now) when I realized that the system I'd picked out for the game didn't have any rules for ship-to-ship combat.

Now there is Star Fleet Battles, the tactical game which skirts artfully around Paramount's license on the franchise, and it works pretty good, but I'd rather make things a bit quicker and looser and keep the emphasis on role-playing...so I'm writing a version which is vaguely similar but a lot easier to deal with. I've now got a basic set of rules that will work, and will be playtesting them at some point...the idea will be to get the numbers right.

There will also be some new skills to use, mostly dealing with Starfleet training, which is another thing I'll be working on.

Okay...this is good, but it looks like it's for a completely different system - and I'm not familiar with the rules. Nice creation system, though, if you are really stuck for ideas.

Of the new music I like Heroica and Music to an Unmade Epic (Starting at about 1:10)

I found a couple (because there are a few more that I'm not listing) of good Star Trek name generators.

The big one has 28 races - https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/star-trek.php

And this smaller one only 8 but it's got some locations and planet names maybe for backstory - https://donjon.bin.sh/scifi/name/star_trek.html

Yeah, I use the first one for all sorts of names; it's a good one.
