1701? Feh. NCC-1703. USS Hood representin'!
When I was 10 years old, my brother ran a Star Trek game for me, and I was Captain Ryan Nock of the Hood. Only in hindsight did I recognize the various 'Boyz in the Hood' references he put into the game.
That, and the time I had to hunt for a Klingon ship named Doq wa'maH jar (Red Ten-Month), which could fire while its cloaking device was engaged. Everyone thought he was going to start a war with the Federation, but I discovered the Captain wanted to defect, and the rest of the Klingon fleet was trying to stop him!
I didn't have the patience for hex-based ship combat, so we just flew pewter miniatures around in the air and made phaser noises.
