Hood, NCC-1703 (or was it 1707?).  I don't recall too many things we did, but my older brother was the GM, and he based the final adventure we played on The Hunt for Red October.  A Klingon with a Bird of Prey that could fire while cloaked was planning to defect to the Federation.  And mind you, this was a good two years before Star Trek VI came out with a vaguely similar plot.Capt. Nock was incredible in that I'd actually rolled a 100 Luck Score.  In Star Trek, your scores went from 71-100 for most things, like Strength, Agility, Intelligence, and Perception, so you rolled 3d10+70.  But for Luck, you rolled a straight d%.  And I got a 100.  I wonder if I'd have played quite the same way if I'd gotten a lower number.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Actually, my brother had a nasty penchant for stealing from movies.  In the Mechwarrior game I played in, my character nearly died when my brother decided to reenact the end of Glory.</blockquote>
