Re: Why Star Trek??
I've thought of a few other "classic" sci-fi universes, but very few lend themselves to SE4, mainly because most books focus on people and planets, rather than large, diverse fleets of ships.
Having said that, the races could be implemented, and what little ship information available could be expanded/improved/etc. to fill out the ship construction tree.
For example:
Dune: all the various Houses, etc. could become races (imagine fighting the Bene Gesserit - religious AND psychic...)
Niven's Known Universe: replace ruins with Slaver tech; add the Puppeteers and Kdatlyno...
Mars Attacks... OK, this one is silly, but still...
Battlefield Earth (decent book, BAD movie)...
That should be enough for now.
