[QUOTE]Originally posted by Identity Crisis: [QB] 1. Well if that's the way your sloppy thinking goes at least we all know to ignore it from now on. And would you care to explain in what way you are not a "nerdy fans trying to impose their views of the subject on everyone else"? That seems to be exactly what you're doing. The nerdy fans you denegrate so much are people like Rick Sternbach and Greg Jein. Would you please give examples of people in trekinical fandom trying to impose their views on other people? That's an attitude much more closely associated with the close-minded canonites and their "if it's not in the 'official' books then it doesn't count" bleatings. FASA produced a very good set of TOS RPG rules and ship-to-ship combat rules. They are very much products of their time and compared to todays rules are very mechanics heavy. The background they produced was too militaristic for the Trek being produced at the time (ST IV, early TNG) and thay's why they fell out with Paramount. Some of the background has been disproved by later episodes and films, but then so has some of the speculation in the TNG TM and early editions of the Chronology and Encyclopedia. Trekinical fandom has, by and large, got very little to do with FASA. FASA borrowed material from one book, the Spaceflight Chronology. Would you like me to post a quote from Mike Okuda saying how much he likes that book? For a long time trekinical fandom slagged FASA off, but these days people are more forgiving and tend to incorporate the best of FASA into a larger view that includes many, many different sources. 2. And you expect people to give a sh*t what you think? 3. You're in good company, the Encyclopedia (cam't remember which edition) makes that same mistake. [/QB][/QUOTE]
