The problem with designing rules for Star Trek, is that nothing is ever
explained in detail, and what details are shown aren't always
consistent. My advice for doing a set of Star trek ships and rules is
to either:

1) Design for effect. Write rules that will _feel_ like STar Trek to
_you_. That's what Mark Kochte did with his Babylon 5 rules.

2) Find a set of existing Star Trek rules and use that as a yardstick
for comparing ships and weapons. Either FASA's old set of rules, or
Star Fleet Battles would work fine.

Either way, you end up with a (relatively) original set of rules that
you and your friends will like.
