The SFCII Movie Ships
Posted: Fri Jan 19, 2024 4:02 am
Interplay, when they finally made the Computer Game Version of SFB, and thus bridging the gap between the Franz Joseph/ADB Material and Paramount, didn't just make a straight SFB port, they made it a SFB/ST hybrid, making up some new material, and having it be it's own TMP universe.
They made Cloaking Variants of the E-4, F-5 and D-5, an ISC Armored Cruiser, an 8-Photon Federation Fire Support Cruiser, a 6 ESG Lyran Global Operations Cruiser, and an ISC Armored Cruiser, plus, they did their own versions of the TMP Movie Ships.
They are clearly more like Layman versions of the Movie Ships, not using the normal Fan/ADB idea of making them 1X/2X Ships, instead, the Movie Ships are 0Xs/0Xl ships that are not quite on the full level of General War 0Xl ships, starting with a normal 0Xs/Middle Years Ship, adding a few Power Systems and Shields, making all Phasers Ph-1s, sometimes having a pair of Ph-3s, both Federation and Klingons (Romulans too?) having Photons, with both FA and RA Photons, and the Klingons keep their ADDs and sometimes have Cloaks.
I tried to make an Ambassador-Class in this vein in 2003. And a Royal Sovereign.
