Title: Early Years Game by Taldren
Post by: Karnak on February 12, 2003, 05:15:58 pm

Since, Taldren broke new ground by making a game freed from the SFB-rules with SFC3. Is there any interest in make a SFC game for the events of the current Enterprise TV series set around the time of the first Earth-Romulan war in 2160s?

It would be interesting to see ships with low powered phasers, minimal shielding, and some races without transporters. Not to mention Suliban cell ships, and early year Klingon, Romulan, Vulcan, Andorian and Earth ships. Maybe a single-player camaign about the events leading up to the birth of the Federataion.

Thats a good idea.
It would be nice to every race chucking nukes around.

I've been thinking of a similar idea.
It would probably have Humans, Vulcans, Andorians, Klingons, Romulans, Suliban (I wonder if something creative could be done for there cell ships), and Tholians (I heard that they will be a big part of Enterprise)

An Andorians ship will be shown tonight (I think) on Enterprise, so I might accually watch tonights episode (and next weeks Tholian episode)

Enterprize is good ... Some times people analyze stuff to much ,, IMO I think its been great so far ,,,, I mean if you go back & look at TNG the first few seasons are cheesy ,,, but we all love them ,,,, Hell I remeber Data putting all the borg to sleep 1 time ....

I am even going as far as buying the TNG dvds only 3 left to go .......

ADB put out an Early Years module about..... two years back I think. (SFB module Y1. Still selling well in fine game stores near you!). It's one of my favorites modules for the game. It's a hefty module and includes many Federation member states (before they were part of the Federation), the Paravians (whom the Gorn made extinct) and another clanish/pirate race called the Carnivons. (A canine species right between the Mirak and Lyrans. Go figure.)

I've tried playing around with shiplist, but a lot of early years effects are hard to duplicate in the SFC2 engine. You can't, for instance, keep a ship from overlaoding a weapon. You can't limit trac/trans range. Nor can you model many of the new weapons, such as the Carnivon Death Bolt, the Hydran Nova Cannon, and the Paravian Quantum Cannon.

I'd love to see a new SFC game using this Module Y1 and its expansions as the background material. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

The only problem is that there is that there is only a few ships per race right now (1 human, 3 Suliban, 1 Klingon [please don't include the abomination from "Unexpected], 1 Romulan, 1 Tholian, 3 Vulcan [in the 22nd Century]).

If they had more time, it wouldn't have been so bad.

As for number of ships
How many TOS ships were made?
With TMP, the grand total of Fed ships became 3. How many Romulans? 2 , including the Klingon one. How many different hull types for Roms in SFC2? 15, including Klingon.
They can make them up.

BTW, there is now an Andorian ship from "Cease Fire".
