Mark Siefert's web page has several ST conversions for FT. I mostly use
ST
micromachines for FT due to the cost of the GZG figures. I started by
doing
my own Star Trek adaptation, but eventually moved on to just using the
ST
ships as generic starships. We lump the Romulan and Klingon ships
together
along with the runabouts from DS9. We also put the Cardassians and
Ferengi
ships in one fleet, usually as freighters (you think this sounds silly?
put
the Cardassian ship beside the Ferengi ship, and then turn the
Cardassian
around...). We then use the ships according to their actual figure size!
The
Galaxy class ship becomes a light cruiser, the Enterprise C becomes a
heavy
cruiser, and the Stargazer is either a carrier or a dreadnought. It
works
for us.
