ST:DS9 battle

I don't THINK I'll be doing spoilers, but if you are following DS9, but
wonder what the wormhole has to do with self-replication, STOP RIGHT

With the upcomming HUGE battle, I'm looking forward to trying a small scale
reproduction of same, using Micro Machines with Scott Field's TNG ships and
rules adjustments, available on Mark Seifert's excellent web page at:
http://www.uwm.edu/~cthulhu/FT/thrust.html

Problem #1: No Cardassians or Jem Hadar ships. Well, one Cardassian MM and no
Jem Hadar, but I'll make do. What I would ask for is some ship designer whiz
to give me some specs.

Problem #2: I've been trying to come up with a battle system, different from
the campaign system I'm working up for the Buck Roger's game map. I would like
to have several tables represent the frontal portions of the battle, with
rules for leaving and entering battle. I would hope that a
'cooling' period for the ship off-board when it's safe but also
unavailable for inflicting damage, along with a 'parting shot' from the
onboard ships should make gratuituous table hopping rare. I get ideas, I
seldom work them to fruition. Anybody else try this?

He's still out there. He just left the list when he went off to school and
then has been too busy with his new job to do any email at all.

But he says hi to all.:)

Well, before Scott left the 'net altogether, he and I were exchanging ideas
for Full Trek 3.0, which had stuff like warp core breaches, some weapons
changes, shuttlecraft, etc. They don't have a lot of stuff for
DS9/Voyager
era ships, being mostly rooted in the movie timeline, but it shouldn't be to
hard to convert over. If you'd like, I'll see if I can dig them up and send
them off to you.

Take care,

I'd like to help with this also, (and if you need help on 3.0 let me know:)
but unfourtunalty I've missed a lot of all the ST:tNG series shows. The dorm
vision thing:) I've never seen most of the episodes where ship to ship combat
takes place. So I too am quite in the dark about the NG ship capabilites.
