RE: Trek conversions

Star Fleet Academy will have one let down. They did away with the "sim"
nature of the combat and made it more of a "dogfight"/arcade style. Too
bad but should still be fun. Why have there been no computer games along
the lines of FT???????!!!!

Off Topic but interesting

The thing that FASA did to upset Paramount was the STTNG source book,
full of 
off the wall ship designs. Paramount made them pull it and issue a
lesser color 
marketing brochure. The original book is rare and sought after.

There was a web page with the Star Trek Tactical Combat Simulator
conversions to 
FT. No ones had the time or inclinantion to do an SFB conversion AFAIK.

I'm waiting for the new Star Fleet Academy game - should be a gem
looking at the 
screen shots.
