Ok, I've had this idea kicking around in my head for a few weeks. I am thinking of posting some custom setting information. This sort of thing didn't really fit in any of the existing boards so I created this one. Of course anyone is free to post their stuff here as well!
As always, remember to respect other members space. Of course feedback will be welcomed, but if you have your own ideas don't hijack someone else's thread. Make your own thread for your own ideas.

Interesting new sub forum idea, Joshua.
I know that that a few members have created new 'factions' for their FASA games, such as brickwall and his Kephan Unity. I look forward to see what you post. I suppose I've hinted at my take on FASA Trek in my ship writeups, without adding any new factions, although I have my take on the Tholians tech, just as screamingswede has!

JAFisher44, thank you very much for the new addition to the forum. I hope it will enrich and enliven both conversation and the exchange of ideas and improvements for the game.
Again, thank you for the new sub-forum.

Although that looks interesting, Gorn. A new faction of yours, I take it, called Venturi?
What I think Joshua would want people to post here (in separate threads, of course) would be history and other background information on new factions, without ship stats, I take it. Perhaps similar to the notes of brickwall's Kephan Unity, without his ship stats.
I stand ready to be corrected on this!
Mark

Sounds about right Mark. What I am going to start posting, if I can find the time, is information on star systems. How many planets, what kind of planets. What kind of facilities are in the system, what fleet assets they control, etc. Of course the moment I decide to do this I end up having almost no time to polish anything I've started...

I have a spreadsheet with a whole TON of that kind of stuff - I haven't touched it in a WHILE - but last year i started adding in star types (which no doubt are done with TERRIBLE science and conjecture - but hey! I never did get that Astronomy degree!!) as well as as the data that FASA used to put in their material. It's WOEFULLY under-informed - but it might be a good starting point for you. If I remember correctly - it includes a few folks lists - so a lot of it is just me re-typing and adding stuff in. Sadly, I don't remember where I got the "solar system creator" I used so long ago or the other general data. fasaststcs.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/FASA-Planet-List-Updated.xlsxJust to get uber overwishful...I know there is a FASA Star Trek Wiki out there - if the community at large were to want to flesh all this out - I can totally see a Wiki version of this with all the planet and star system data in it. The official stuff I can see being added over at Memory Beta, but the stuff the community creates would probably have to be on a special wiki. Just a thought!! |

Question: would it fit the purpose of this sub-forum then to transfer the entire thread of "The Kephan Unity and Her Star Navy" to this particular sun-forum?
If it does, please let me know and it will be done. Thank you in advance.

If it does, please let me know and it will be done. Thank you in advance. Please forgive me for posting after my own post, but my question didn't get answered. I'd really like to know if this is what the moderators want done in the near future here. Again, thank you in advance. |

This is a forum for setting information. So, if you make a post describing the Kephan Unity governmental structure, list of the Kephan systems, descriptions of those systems, Lists of navy assets, etc those sorts of things would be appropriate here.
Edit: I just looked over the thread and with the exception of the posts that specifically are ship stats most of it would be appropriate for this forum.

Those Venturi were adapted from Interplay's "Starfleet Academy".
Now I understand what is supposed to be in here.
Back in the days of the computer game Xwing vs TIE fighter, community made scenarios and even campaigns were each given their own unique sequence of numbers for the .lst file. Otherwise, every player would have to carefully go through dozens, possibly hundreds of entries and rectify the numbers so that there was no conflict in them - just like in the old days of BASIC programming!
I think we might do such a thing here; since we don't know how the data could be adapted 50 years from now; when TMP Trek is once again the only Trek there is, and JJdrek has gone the way of the non-avian Dinosaurs.
