Its frustrating to play starwars or startrek in a rulesset that doesnt portray the movies as you see them in your mind. Add to the fact that everyone has a diffrent opinion on how the world should work.  I personally dont like running/playing Starwars because I'm too much of a book whore. I love the stories laid out by the writers of Starwars and I never feel comfortable playing in a world because I can never trust a DM to play between the lines of the universe as written. Not all DM's want too, and none of them have too, its just me. Similarly for Startrek, I dont see any good system for it. Humans have tons upon tons of skills in Startrek. At least the ones in the federation do. Despite how many years its been around I dont think the exact requirements for Starfleet have ever been placed in cannon, nor the standard skills for your avarage midrank officer. Though nearly all of them know quantum physics, warp theories, and various combat skills. For some reason, I just feel more comfortable playing those settings in computer/consol games, then I do on pen and paper. I stick to D&D/FR/Eberron/d20modern.</blockquote>
