Thank you Aramis erak, for adding details on the use of the dice for each of his editions of the Star Trek role-playing game.
But what is the best for you to play?

None of the above. I wrote a ruleset back in the early 90's that works far better for me, but it's never been "finished" - it was based upon hybridizing T2K 2.0 and FASA Trek... but with a different skill resolution mechanic than all of the above. It is, however, what taught me that Xd6 vs Skill is essentially a poor mechanic...

FASA and LUG both are preferable to DTrek; PD1 is preferable to FASA and LUG for certain types of campaign. GURPS didn't work well at all; Star Hero was too much work

Starships and Spacemen is a Trek-knock-off, but it's better as it's own thing, not as trek.

I play with Decipher's Star Trek because of the players, If I played anything else I would have other players or even less. Or worse, I would have a role play that I like that I would be the only one to play.

Why do you find it lower than throwing who must defeat a target, compare a percentage throw. I agree that the percentage is easy to figure for a player to know his chances of success. But a total of +6 on a roll of two dice, should be easy to find that a target like 8+ will be easy to succeed.

For my part, I had replaced the die of percentage by a die 20, during the fashion of the d20 take the role plays to resemble the D & D ... A simple calculation; 5% of d100 equals 1 on d20. But it was not pleasant for my players of this period.
