I remember this in practical wargamer - really cool looking, are these
events
still run? IIRC they scratch built a big FASA style klingon D10 and used
all the
ERTL trek ships. The alien fleet was a Tizer (soda) bottle. The crew had
to wear
gloves and helmets if there was a hull breach. There were also event
cards
(are these the same a James Clay's FF cards)

FT would scale well for these sorts of games as it doesn't use a hex
grid.
The FF games used squares taped on the school floor, hexes were too
tricky.
