Yeah, the ST:RPG SCS was a great system.  It didn't hurt that we had a
great GM though.  He made up panel displays for all the bridge sections
out of old Lite Brites he found at the Salvation Army.	He repainted
them, covered the front with redesigned control sheets mounted on black
construction paper, plugged them in, and viola! Really cool looking
lighted displays.  If the ship was hit for 10 points of damage, pull 10
of the green lite bright pegs in the Ship Status Display out and replace
them with red ones.  He also used to do stuff like have the bridge set
up in one room, and conduct the planetside adventures in another room.
Need to contact the ship?  Yell for them from one room to the next, and
hope they understand what you're trying to say.

Now I'm getting all misty-eyed...
