Re: Why Star Trek??
I think people enjoy the Star Trek mods because they can relate to them better than most other sci-fi based sets. Star Trek has been around for years and many people are quite familiar with it - so it makes a good start to role playing because you have an idea of how to behave as Klingons or Romulans, etc. Also, a lot of the gamers are under 20, so they won't really remember Battlestar on tv or Star Control from the early 90's.
For me, I haven't used any of the Star Trek mods, but even my own Spoogy Universe adjustments are very similiar - phasers, disruptors - they just seem more "realistic" than meson bLasters - what are mesons anyway?
