If you're a fan of Star Trek like I am TI3 naturally lends itself to the combining of the two. Here are my versions of Star Trek races.

For those of you unfamiliar with the site, the wiki has TI3 forums for discussion and for online Play-by-e-mail(PBeM) or Play-by-Forum(PBF) play primarily. These races are currently being playtested in 4 games and I'm getting lots of positive feedback. Feel free to sign up on the wiki site and post any comments you want. Obviously these are just one man's (mine) take on the Star Trek races, so they may not appeal to you. But, if you want to play Star Trek TI3 and don't want to go through the work of creating/balancing races, feel free to use these.

Truth be told, most of the hardcore TI3 fans I know spend lots of time on the wiki as compared to here.

Not one person likes Star Trek? You kids must all be too young.

I stopped recording my computer files on magnetic support, like Mr Spock, a loooong time ago.

lol

That said, I like Star Trek very much, but I just don't need to use Klingons or Vulcanians in a TI3 game.

I enjoy this game as it is. That's all.

I like Star Trek and whilst i certainly dont need a ST variant to play, i admit it would be cool to see one developed with new planet tiles. Ive taken a look at the notes as identified and whilst there is much i dont agree with i applaud the attempt. I would add abilities for the Romulans and Cardies to reflect their respective intel services - integral to their empires - maybe for the Roms the ability to block events trargeting their homeworld and viewing opponents ACs and for the Cardies - maybe pay a CC for one sabotage a turn and +1 fleet supply (reminded of the Cardies when i see Letnev in play). The Feds advantages were mainly better research, diplomacy and shields - dont know why Sovereign class would give a combat boost to carriers - better to give a boost to capital ships. The Klingons should also have cloak tech. Anyway, its all academic, but i do like the idea.
