Over on their own boards, they've confirmed that a lot of the individual components will be available for separate sale (the momentum and threat markers, the map, the tiles, etc.). So even if the whole package is out of your price range (as it is for me), you can still get the various pieces...

And just to add, because I know it's a turn off to some people, that the random charts are optional and you can instead pick off of the list. There's also another optional chargen system where you just flesh out the basics of the character and add in further details through play, a la Fate.

Generally speaking, I like it a lot. The core mechanic plays well, and the overall system has enough moving parts to make it a robust, interesting game, without it being so complicated that you need to study for it years to be "good" at the game. It's also set up so that you can have a command...

neuronphaser, The system, as of the last playtest, was about medium crunch. While it's tough to make out what everything in the picture is from far away, I think the orange box on the panel we can fully see is the entire list of weapons with the descriptions of the weapons qualities listed...

Previews for Modiphius's Trek dice are now up: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2017/05/26/exclusive-first-look-at-star-trek-rpg-s-custom-dice.aspx

I get where you're coming from, Aramis. I really do. I think our point of disagreement lies here: In my experience with my group, it's very, very rare that the momentum generated does not balance the threat that is created. And within those rare unbalanced sessions, it's far more likely to...

If there were a rule that required you to spend all threat accumulated or if there was no threat mechanic and instead something bad automatically just happened, without any ability for the GM to mitigate, I would agree with you that it is bad game design. But neither of those cases reflects...

Aramis-- I'm not sure why you're claiming I'm grossly ignorant of the rules when I specifically and explicitly mentioned the rule you quoted in my third bullet in my post. And I mentioned unspent momentum from NPC rolls in my second bullet, which covers momentum from NPC rolls during opposed...

I'm not sure if you misread the playtest documents or are working from your own houseruled version, but this is untrue. Threat comes from three sources: 1. The GM starts with a pool of 2 threat per PC at the start. 2. The GM banks unspent momentum from NPC rolls as threat. 3. The players...

Lwaxy, I think they just send the reminders to the entire list. I also got reminders after I submitted, and even got them after the previous deadline for submitting feedback had passed. However, if you're concerned, I would go ahead and just fill out the form again. You put your name and...

Well, instead of tactful, can you give some meaningful examples of what you mean, Aramis? As a criticism goes, "excessively vague" is, well, kind of vague. As is "bland" and "ill defined." I mean, can you point to something specific in the FASA or LUG or Decipher games that they had that you...
