Gauging Interest: Star Trek (Icon)

If someone asks how long it'd take to get warp-drive back online, I'd rather just make something up that half-way makes sense. I don't have to do this, but I think it'd keep the flow pretty well.

Well the standard answer is 6, 8, 12 or 24 hours, then the captain says you get two hours less, and you end up doing it in half the original time

Anyways, with a prototype ship, I guess any mumbo jumbo is acceptable. Just remember to suggest Reversing the Polarity of "whatever gizmo happens to be relevant" often and you're up to par with O'Brien and LaForge

Given the proper liberties I'm sure I can have some fun with this creative engineering. And while I've never personally designed a fully functional automated starship capable of faster than light travel, I'm sure I could fake it with the best of 'em.

You can take all the liberties you want...just don't get your terminologies mixed up. If you start talking about the hyperdrive and the turbolasers instead of the warp drive and phasers, we're going to wonder what's going on!

"The warp drive's turbo laser got it's polarities reversed! ABANDON SHIP!"

Hmm, I'm sensing inherent value in playing a character who can't always phrase exactly what they're thinking, especially coming from the Chief Engineer. Coincidentally I may have to build into the character a caveat like that, just in case I do say the wrong damning thing.

 

[Rhun]

Its all good, ethandrew. I'm sure you'll do the Chief Engineer position plenty of justice.

 

[HolyMan]

Oh no !! are Chief Engineer has turrets!

Thought that was cured in 2108?? No oh well...

Turbo phased induced hypo shower. ?huh?

Theroc - Rough draft sent in PM.

HolyMan - skill addition for advanced training sent in PM.

Blackrat - I will try to send you a rough draft tonight but may be tomorrow.

Garyh - I do have the andorian book if you want to discuss items in PMs.

Ethandrew - What race would you like to be?



HolyMan asked a good question. Would you like to post your character sheets? Since I am making them, I have the originals on my computer. I can always add them to the other thread but would like to put some blockers on there first for places, people and 1 or 2 more reference posts.

 

[garyh]

My model for playing my PC will be Shran, which was where we saw for more of Andorians than any other series. So I'm not sure how much of the LU info will fit. But I'd be happy to see what's there.
