I do like the postings above, and would like more involvement with the Romulans.

Would such a darker settin mean less working together by captains and 1st officers – both trying to prove themselves against the other? Most of the shows seem to show a team of officers willing to help eash other out, even at their own expense – with a darker feel, would this change?

And if it soes, would this allow junior officers (PC) to try to take over a ship, or actively work against a despot captain?

Cheers,

Ian.

I’m not sure I am going to go all the way to having Earth as a subject world within the Romulan Star Empire… but I do like the reminder of why I love the Romulans, and to include the Tal Shiar.

I liked Oliver’s comments too, although I am still tempted to change things earlier. I know that, given my age and love for TOS, this might seem odd to a younger chap like Oliver, but the options are greater.

All in all, my darkness will be a lot more subtle than Derek’s suggestions, but perhaps not so subtle that they leave you wondering what changed.

Any more ideas, anyone?

Romulans are now spirited warriors on the side of humanity, and the Vulcans are the cold fish of the universe!

Nice solution on why the trek as gone dark.

I do like the idea of playing Trek in September – always liked the setting, but we don’t seem to have played it fully. And joy on joy, we could use the star fleet battle rules for the ship battles!

Cheers,

Ian.
