Gauging Interest: Star Trek (Icon)

[Rhun]

Rhun - No it does not have Multi Vector Attack Mode. The Promethus is still in the design phase and will probably have her keel laid out at Utopia Planitia sometime soon. The reason I stayed away from it was 3 sections of battle bridges during one combat. I am not sure if I can keep up with it.

Totally understandable. I'm not sure I could keep up with it either. I'm a total ship buff...I've always been into studying the design of starships from the various science fictions shows.

Also this is one of the more advanced anti-borg designs. Every time that the borg have attacked the Federation, they have come right through the Romulan border. It does make sense for the some of the newer warships to be posted to the Romulan border.

Right, along the same lines as the Defiant Class, the St(r)eamrunner Class destroyer and the Akira Class Battlecruise (frigate), all of which I believe came around as a result of the Borg threat. And yes, since the Dominion War has not yet broken out, it would make perfect sense that some are posted to the Romulan Border.

Currently we are ignoring the new Star Trek movie. This will be set up right as Next Generation is ending.

Excellent.

Theroc - I think Rhun was playing the Tatical/Security Officer, Holyman the Flight Control Officer. I am not sure what Ethandrew was playing. If you want to play a betazoid that is fine.

This this correct to me. I will decide on race and such over the next couple of days, if thats okay?

Also due to the Commodore being a Flag officer rank and the medical condition of the executive officer, some characters will be put in charge of the away teams.

As long as you are not Ensign Smith, you should be just fine on Away missions!

Commodore Rardon would not be allowed to go on a mission where there is danger without fielding a whole squad of security personnel as an honor guard. Commodore is the same rank as the lower half of Rear Admiral. The terms are switchable, with Commodore being assigned to a starship command or a frontier command, and Admiral being assigned to starbase or planetary base command.

Yeah, Commodore is a strange and rarely used rank in the Star Trek universe.

Theroc, I'm really up in the air with what I want to be playing. I'm okay with anything, so go ahead and pick what you want and I'll fill in the gaps and come up with a concept that works.

 

[Theroc]

Hm... Strategic Operations or Counselor would both synergize with Betazoid traits. Though, I'm not exactly sure how powerful a 'Psi' Betazoids are, reading surface thoughts/emotions should be helpful either for counseling or gathering intel.

Either of those are fine with me. Though, bear in mind I don't actually 'KNOW' alot about Betazoids, I just found them interesting from seeing Deanna... so I may need a bit of information on them before actually playing.

 

[Rhun]

Wikpedia is always your friend, even for looking up such obscure things as Betazoids.

And don't forget Memory Alpha, your one stop source of information for all things Star Trek.

Benson Kartoger

Born 2315 and is the oldest living ensign in StarFleet. Not do to his lack of focus or willingness to strive higher, he was a Lieutenant Commander at one time but was demoted and the record sealed.

From an early age Benson had always wanted to fly it just seemed where he should be up in the air or high above with the stars. His mother diliked travel of any sort and his father was a member of the Judge Advocate General's office in San Fransico. So if Benson wanted to fly or leave earth he was going to have to join StarFleet.

His first assignment was on a Valley Forge class starship the Rattlesnake NCC-1493, he still has his uniform and patch (seen below) from those days. Later he asked for and was assigned to the Rapid Deployment Force were he quickly became a superb pilot and officer. An incident that has been sealed to StarFleet Command only tells that Benson was found guilty and demoted as a result. Since then he has not tried to obtain his former rank.

Off duty Benson enjoys fiction writing and then bringing the story to life on the holo-deck. He also is still very good at Ando-jitsu where he plays with no alarm needed. And he dabbles in warp engine theory and stellar topography.

THE END

this was pretty kool http://www.asdb.net/asdb/docs/sotsf/SOTSF4.pdf

Ah, I see some similarities to Tom Paris!

 

[HolyMan]

Thats his name I never did do much of the voyager stuff or DS9

I new he was a trouble maker but i believe all pilots are that.. they need to blow of steam after controlling a couple of mectric tons down to the nano meter (nerve wracking)

Thanks Rhun and i will be the oldest at 55 lol

I know I want my character young, and fairly 'ignorant'. That is, I don't want him to know everything, then look stupid because I don't know enough ST to make him look smart. I enjoy Star Trek, but I doubt any would call me a 'Trekkie' if they looked at my hobbies.

Anyone have tips for making a believable naive/ignorant character?

Young up and coming type guy, fairly recently out of the academy, gets promotions but hasn't learned much about the 'big bad universe' yet?

Oh, my friend...you missed out. In my opinion, DS9 is the best Star Trek series ever made.

Paris was actually just busted back to ensign for failing to obey a direct order, but he earned his lieutenant rank back after about a year of hard work.

I on the other hand am a Trekkie/Trekker. And no, I don't make a distinction between the two like some people do. Just let me know if you have any questions, as I can probably answer them.

I think you've got the right of it. I'd have the PC be recently out of the academy. Probably an ensign, possibly a lieutenant (junior grade).
