C·4 LEARNiNG: During the course of a game, the characters may confront various types of alien machinery or process

To understand or learn something about a. machine, an alien life form, or other unknown conditions, the player uses his or

character's Mentality. Since Mentality determines how well the thinking processes are operating, Mentality is the key to learni

The player will roll 3 dice. If the total is equal to or less than the character's Mentality, then the character will grasp so

understanding of the alien device or process and the Mission Master must give the player some information concerning it. So

times other character attributes must be brought into play at the judgement of the Mission Master. For example: If the a

device being investigated is constructed in such a way that it requires the character to be very dexterous, than a 3 dicewould have to be made based on Dexterity as well as Mentality. If a character has a Tricorder, this would greatly enhance t

ability to understand and learn. Aside from the Tricorder's ability to detect life forms, and energy sources (Refer to the B

Game equipment list), when a character uses a Tricorder to analyze an alien device or life form or other process, subtract 5 fr

the dice roll.

C-5 PSIONICS: Psionic powers are the various abilities of the mind to extend itself in both physical and metal parameter

Also known as Extra Perception, these powers are only manifest in certain exceptional individuals. In the Star T

universe, these powers are recognized as the good tools they can be, though there have been instances where individuals h

acquired power too rapidly as in the case of Gary Mitchell, who developed symptoms of megalomania and endangered the c

of the Enterprise. Other characters, in particular, Mr. Spock , have psionic abilities which are wisely used and controlled.

Vulcans have certain psionic abilities which enable them to better perceive the universe. Basic to these is a limited form

telepathy which allows a Vulcan to read another person's mind if they are in contact with the subject. If Mr. Speck attemp

to perform a mindlink with an alien, roll 3 6·sided dice. If the roll is equal to or less than Spook's Mentality, then the mindli

is successful. However, add 1 to the dice roll for each point in the subject's Mentality and Charisma over 12. Thus if Mr. Spe

attempts to mindlink with a Dr. McCoy, he would have to add 4 to the dice roll. If the mindlink is successful, the Mission Mas

would have to tell the Vulcan player what they wanted to know. Vulcans can also make suggestions to other Iifeforms if they

not too far away. If Mr. wished an alien or other character to perform a simple function, the alien would have to be w

in 5 meters and Mr. player would have roll 4 dice and equal or be less than Speck's Mentality. Once again, 1 would

added to the die roll for each number over 12 in the subject's Mentality and Charisma.

C-S SAVING ROLLS: a character will encounter something which only luck would enable him or her to avo

Examples might be the of falling through an unseen trap door or entering a room and seeing or not seeing a hypnot

screen before its too late. Saving rolls are also made to see if a character is surprised by an alien creature or being.

the character's dexterity or agility), because he would subtract 1 for each number over 12

was less than 9, 1 would be added to the roll for each number less than 9. You woumodify the saving roll to the situation. Dexterity would modify a saving roll involving movement, Mentality wou

modify a roll wits, and so on. It is up to the Mission Master to determine the appropriateness of a modifier.

C·7 THE TRANSPORTER: Star Fleet crew use the magical transporter to arrive at a planetary surface because almost all S

Fleet vessels are not capable of landing on a planet except in the direst of emergencies. The transporter is a matter-enerqv

scrambler which basically changes a person to energy and then beams the energy to a point where it is reassembled. The tran

porter can also lock-on and beam up persons standing at known coordinates or carrying a communicator whose signal

unblocked. In this game system it would be all so easy for Captain Kirk to run into danger ("Giant dinosaur attacking, sir!

and simply tell Scotty to beam him back to the ship, out of danger. This would make for relatively safe landing par

expeditions but would also make for a very dull game. The Mission Master would exercise some control over the use of

transporter. First of all, the transporter only has a range of 12000 kilometers, the same as that for the communicator. If

Each combat consists of one character firing a ranged weapon at a defending character by rolling a die to hit and th

We would like to thank Geoffrey Mandel for his considerable support and for the information provided in his series of

FLEET HANDBOOKS (New Eye Studios).

This set of rules is based on the systems developed for SPACE PATROL (Lou Zocchi Associates, 7604 Newton Drive,

Mississippi 39532) and both games can be used together to make even more interesting scenarios and enter even more

worlds of science fiction adventure gaming.

TO THE MISSION MASTER

At this point we should get into some of the points that separate the good Mission Master from the indifferent one. Whil

game has pr eplanned scenarios for the players. It should be obvious that extended play by a given group of players will

exhaust the possibilities of these games. Thus in the advanced game there are a number of aids for developing completely u

play.

It is possible for the Mission Master to crib heavily from the episode synopsis in such standard Star Trek Works as the

cordance by Bjo Trimble, or consult the Log Series by Alan Dean Foster. But successfuly play here relies on the players

unfamiliar with the originals. In this and the basic scenarios, the Mission Master has a relatively easy job. He merely goes b

scripts of the original shows. Using the advanced systems presents its own problems. The bulk of the original episodes res

around a rnvsterv of some sort which needs to be cracked for the success of the mission. While in the cult adulation

resulted from the show, the character of Speck assumed supreme importance, it was in the solving of the original mysteries

made Kirk into something special. When the Mission Master seeks to create an original script, he should remember the sub

of the puzzle. He should remember that the thing that took the adventure from the show to new heights of tension, wa

mystery which had to be solved.

Secondly, the dangers of the situation and the difficulties of the rnvsterv should never be so imposing that they become in

albe. While it rnav boost the Mission Masters sense of self worth to produce the inconquerable beast, it makes play frustra

for the other players. The players must have a chance to win. This does not mean that Kirk or Spock or Sulu cannot

means only that the antogonist cannot be unbeatable. This, of course, requires judgement with the Mission Master. If the f

lets the players convince him that given scenario is too tough, when, in fact, they only wish to earn more points for their

acter, then the play will become boring to all but the hard core types. On the other hand, if the concept is indeed too

for even the celebrated Bridge crew of the Enterprise, plavers will again drop out, even the serious full time players. Of s

bent, the rules allow a bit of latitude for the judgement of the Mission Master. If the Mission Master allows himself

vindictive because of a character once lost to another Mission Master, or his love of killing overcomes his sense of fair

then he alone can ruin a game.

But onto the details of play.

It helps to prepare maps beforehand. While the abilities of the scanners protrayed in the series are sometimes amazing in

abilities, it makes it quite difficult to surprise the party if the ship is always pegging the movements of all the life forms o

planet. While there are a number of things portrayed as muddying the picture, any that the Mission Master uses shoul
