I am interested in a S&S PBP. Can you give us more of an idea of what you had in mind?

S&S: I'll prep a sector, and use SE to generate the missions in that sector as they come up. The sector will be "on the border"... the base is a "prefab." All crew ensign grade, and the ship a standard DD.
I figure M-F, one Action-turn per day. Need at least 3p to launch.
It's been a few years since I've done any PBP, so I'm NOT promising anything spectacular, just a few good missions.

Well, count me in! It sounds like fun to me! Can we name our own ship? Here is SFTM’s list of the Saladin-class:
NCC-500 - USS Saladin NCC-501 - USS Jenghiz NCC-502 - USS Darius NCC-503 - USS Alaric NCC-504 - USS Sargon NCC-505 - USS Xerxes NCC-506 - USS Pompey NCC-507 - USS Kublai NCC-508 - USS Suleiman NCC-509 - USS Etzel NCC-510 - USS Tamerlane NCC-511 - USS Alexander NCC-512 - USS Hannibal NCC-513 - USS Ahriman NCC-514 - USS Rahman NCC-515 - USS Adad NCC-516 - USS Hashishiyun NCC-517 - USS Azrael NCC-518 - USS Hamilcar NCC-519 - USS Shaitan
Personally, I am leaning towards Pompey or Hannibal, but they are all cool names.
Are you using the races and other world-information given in S&S, or are you staying true to TOS?

Using S&S... Which means a battle is the name for the ship. I was going to suggest Attu Island. (US WW II, Aleutian Islands campaign.)
Less constrained to use the S&S setting.

Hey guys, I'm new to the site. I see some names that I recognize from other sites. Great job on this site Falconer! I would be interested in joining this PbP game as well.

Great job on this site Falconer! Thanks! It has taken a dive after its original splurge of activity. I guess we ran out of things to talk about! Still, looking back at the threads we’ve had, they are all very interesting. I hope as people actually begin to run games, it will start to get busier again. (Doubtless as the next movie approaches, it will give us a kick in the pants, too!)

It's S&S... so as a DD, it's a battle-name, not a leader-name.
It's certainly not too late. Go generate a PC in the "Local Area" thread. if you need help, just say so there. (you'll see the needed number of die-rolls. Our Admin has added a wonderful set of die-roller code!)

Ok, Falconer... Once you generate your character, we'll get rolling. Drohem's got his Andro Science officer/mind-reader done Grendlwulf has his Rigel Engineer done. Blackbat, if you want to join in, just generate a character. Oh, and if you haven't looked yet, The DD Plans thread has a couple of key views... including the bus of a shuttle. (my favorite NON-Trekism of S&S...) And yes, I AM having fun doing the doodles in sketchup.
