Wizkids has released info on their plans for Star Trek. The first one is kind of meh, to me. Not too interested in an away team game.

But this...
http://wizkidsgames.com/startrek/star-t ... -captains/

Dammit. I loved Armada, so I can easily see myself getting into this. Only way this can get better is if they announce expansions with other species ships. The ships are a huge selling point. So much potential for expansions.

And prep for Starship Battles conversions...

I didn't really see much info on either, though the away team had significantly more. I'd possibly be interested, at leats in waiting for more info.

It looks interesting. I would have to see some reviews and more info before I consider buying it. I love Star Trek CCG and the whole away teams aspect of that game, so if they do this new game right it could be interesting. I played Birth of the Federation and loved that game a ton! So if they are going to make a starship miniatures game similar to that one, they definitely have my interest piqued.

Nice! Here's hoping it really has that feel of "random stuff happening". Like they mention, giant space amoebas and god-infested planets to make things interesting, not just spaceships blowing each other up.

Looking very much like a must-buy, only problem is my LGS doesn't deal with Wizkids products anymore. Probably have to order online and bite the overseas shipping.

Exactly what I was thinking (OK not EXACTLY).

This is a hard one for me. I love star wars and I like star trek, I am starting ssb but this game looks like it could be really good, I hate wizards but it could be a great game. I think I will wait for it to come out and let someone else buy it and either play it or hear a lot of reviews.

With game mechanics by Reiner Knizia, it's going to be a cooperative boardgame that probably feels a lot like Pandemic or Ghost Stories but with a tacked-on theme.

I saw the prototypes at Gencon and they were really nice sculpt-wise. It's supposed to be set in the Next Generation era, so even though they've said Klingon/Federation for this set there's a lot of potential for expansion. I would love to see it do well and expand into a variety of factions with different style fleets.

Armada and the 2nd Edition Decipher CCG were great examples of using the Trek gaming license well, and I'm hoping this will be too.

Be more clear next time you ask us to make new discussions. ;)

Anyway, this sounds kind of fun. I really want to see some expansions. Heck, they can do quite a few with just Federation ships. Scale already sounds like a bit of an issue, but it isn't a dealbreaker for me. Though I would love a HUUGE Borg Cube.

Okay, time to finish SSB 2.0

It's a wizkids product (ick), but neat looking.

Non-blind? That is interesting. What a sku issue for stores.

Can probably use the 'ol Star Trek Micro Machines with house rules to expand it. That'd be an easy way to additional races in, but I would love to see expansions with ships which never saw Mico Machine form. Especially some of the ships from Enterprise, say what you will about the show but the alien ships looked cool.

I for one want to see some Romulan ships and some Dominion ships in an expansion. I can just imagine myself having a few D'deridex Cruisers flying around! :ugeek: :D

I have a ton of micromachines from when I was a kid, but I was always sad that there was no Vulcan cruiser. Probably the neatest ship design from Enterprise.

I'm still interested, but this has definately taken a more wait and see approach. $100, ouch.

Given the whole "big box" approach, that's kinda what you would expect though? I'm still very interested, but it'll depend on the quality of the minis and the gameplay. 24 starship minis in a box is pretty good.

Here's hoping there are plans to expand it though, for a proper Trek experience you're going to need Romulans, Borg, Cardassians...

Hmm, while I'm not a Trekkie, this looks fairly interesting. I like the Wizkids idea of combining fleet building with deck building. It worked well in Star Wars Pocketmodels. I would probably want to play it before I bought it though.

sweet im kinda pumped for this game, even if the game mechanics suck, i will probably still collect it just cause i love trek ships. i hope i can beam over away teams and capture a ship from the inside and have captured technologies, like a federation ship with a cloaking device:)

ive got a thousand ideas for this game, but i feel it will be an epic fail in all aspects.

I don't know. The rules look fun. Great for expansion. I see Borg Cubes being sized 10+. Very excited about this, even with the price. The Cloaking mechanics look cool. Single faction expansions will be perfect, and mini expansions for existing factions (2-5 ships, maybe two new decks).
The rulebook is set up a bit oddly, but I got the hang of it about halfway through.

I got mine today. I am very, very impressed with the starship models, even if they are unpainted. They are larger than I thought, and very detailed. Very happy with my purchase, bring on the Romulans and Borg!

Well, Romulans seem to be on their way.
