If a group is all on board for playing original series Star Trek, and are invested fans, isn't there still going to be questions that need to be nailed down in a rules way?
Will my Vulcan nerve pinch automatically work? What about just hitting someone from behind? Will that cause the target to instantly lose consciousness? Can I talk computers into self destruction with a string of logic or illogic? Can I wriggle out of the prime directive rules by stating that the culture was stagnant? How close are we following the tv tropes?
These questions will probably need a rules framework, so aren't we just then playing a rules light system?
