Here is what John Fu posted to rec.games.miniatures.misc

I corrected a couple of typos from what was posted for the Constitution Refit
(4 class 2 beams instead of 4 class 4 beams) and the Miranda (2 pulse torps)

=========================

Somebody asked for my write-ups of some Star Trek ships for the Full
Thrust Fleet Book rules. Here they are. There are a few points I'd like to
make first.

1. I haven't used any "official" material to write up these ships. I've used
the Star Trek encyclopedia as a general guideline, but I've also used the data
printed on the back of micromachine packages. YMMV.

2. I haven't playtested these designs so I have no idea how effective the
various ships are. "Cloaking devices" add a significant amount to the costs of
ships, but the FT cloaking device works a bit differently
than the ones depicted on ST.  I've tried to include a non-cloaked
version for each of those ships.

3. Most of the large ships use "weak" hulls. Large ships seem only slightly
tougher than smaller ships. IMHO, of course.

4. I ask that my name remain attached to the document. I intend to write up
all of the available Micro Machine models eventually and I've left space for
them.

That's it; the ships come next.  E-mail me any comments.

Shown below is a bit of this post. I think the costs with cloak are wrong. I
believe that this has probably been done using the Excel sheet on the Web Ring
and this has major errors in Missile and some special weapon costs. After
seeing this first time round I deconstructed and repaired the Excel sheet. One
must be very careful when using it. Of course its probably been fixed now, I
haven't checked recently.
