[QUOTE="rgard, post: 4652777, member: 4157"] Hi Danny, I think it's mostly urban legend if we are talking about the original license. Maybe some stuff was picked up by script writers and made it's way to canon, but that would only have been in the last 13 years or so. ADB actually may have had to modify some of their products post production when they strayed beyond what paramount interpeted as the extent of the license. The orignal first expansion for the game had klingon x (x = upgraded technology) ships with photon torpedos and the x rules were an attempt to replicate in game terms the klingon and federation ships we saw in the first Star Trek motion picture. Some time after the first expansion came out Paramount decided that ADB's license was limited to the original series, the cartoons and the Star Fleet Technical Manual. Klingon x ships with photon torpedos went away after that. I don't know if that was pressure from Paramount or a design decision by ADB, but I suspect the former. Thanks, Rich [/QUOTE]
