Back in the 90's when I was heavy into the FASA RPG and Starship Tactical Combat Simulator I had a goal to collect all of the starships from the recognition manuals, sourcebooks, modules, magazine articles, fanzines and any place else I could find them. Eventually everything I found wound up in a big three-ringed binder. But I wanted more. Luckily FASA published the Starship Construction Manuals. Being a Treknologist, I also collected the professional and fan made tech manuals and blueprints. With just enough basic stats from the source material, I was able to write up stats for the STSTCS. I printed up the stats, photocopied the ships and, quite literally, cut and paste them onto a sheet to be photocopied. These then went into the book. Recently I have moved and this was the first opportunity to get a lot of old gaming materials out of cardboard boxes. I found that three-ringed binder and it is now my goal to get all of my original creations scanned onto PDF. In December I was able to post the first three that I randomly selected. They can be found here. tardiscaptain.com/2020/12/23/homebrew-stats-for-starships/One of the ships scanned was a Kzinti Police Cruiser that I guestimated what the stats could be. Currently for the month of January, I an participating in the Character Creation Challenge which is taking a lot of time. However once this is over, I plan to scan the remaining ships that I homebrewed stats for. I may be able to answer questions on why I did things a certain way. But I'd have to remember what 90's me was thinking. Enjoy |

It is fun to come up with stats for these ships, isn't it?

Very much so. I was always on the look out for more tech manuals and blue prints. There are some very interesting fan-made books out there.

Where is the shuttle bay on the Citadel? Jim That's a good question. You would think that the ship would have a shuttlebay. I think it was taken out to use for the admiralty and staff. If I was to re-draw this, I might borrow the Jackill ship designs that had a shuttlebay in one of the saucer sections. |

Which links? I went and checked all of them from the two blog posts and they worked for me. Additional: I just saw from your tagline that you completed your collection of Star Trekker. I just finally got issue #2 myself after years of searching for a copy at a reasonable price. |

Congrats its a great Manga Series (2 comic issues and 1 Graphic Novel) sux Paramount sent them a C/D order back then instead of realizing Japanese media was going to be big later. |

Yep - the 404 is the result of the connection timing out - more than likely.
Out o' curiosity, I'm using gorious ('l' left out for...reasons) AT&T UVerse. What are the rest of you fightin' with?
