Klingon Ship Names
Thu, 01 Dec 2011 14:37:33 GMT
After sitting down with Klingon for the Galactic Traveller and The Klingon Dictionary for an afternoon, my fleet now has ship names. I'll get around to painting them on the bases over the next week or so.
Klingon language tip, change most verbs to nouns using wI', so toj the verb to deceive, becomes tojwI' or Deceiver.
Star Fleet ship name registry
Thu, 24 Nov 2011 11:13:57 GMT
ADB maintain a registry of all ships named in the Star Fleet Universe background and rules. So players can use existing names if they like, or avoid conflicting registrations.
Useful note for Harvey on what to do with that fugly Old Light Cruiser, some were used as Hospital ships, the USS Refuge NCC-948 and the USS Sanctuary NCC-949.
Also who could resist the USS Robert Mugabe NCC-713, USS Yassar Arafat NCC-802, USS Slobodan Milosevic NCC-824. And no one can pass up the chance to blow up the USS Prime Minister Thatcher NCC-855?

Sat, 12 Nov 2011 22:38:37 GMT
First ships painted up for my Klingon fleet, ten B'Rel class Bird of Prey frigates. Once I get the fleet properly organised I'll get ship names painted on the bases in Klingon.

First ships arrive for the Klingon fleet
Wed, 02 Nov 2011 10:31:29 GMT
First ships have arrived, B'Rel class Bird of Prey Frigates. In ACTA:SF or SFB they are Klingon F5 Frigates.
It's going to be after BLAM before I get them sprayed up now. But I'll have painted pictures up as soon as possible.

Klingon Books arrived
Thu, 27 Oct 2011 17:30:01 GMT
The books arrived today so I can get started learning Klingon.
I'll make sure to include English transations of posts about my Klingon fleet for A Call To Arms.
Learning Klingon
Mon, 24 Oct 2011 11:25:48 GMT
To ensure I get the markings correct on ships and details right when we play Harvey's Trek and Traveller: Prime Directive, I've decided to try and learn a little Klingon.
The Klingon Language Institute do a postal/email course, which looks like a good place to start.
I've printed out the course materials and ordered the books from Amazon. Once the books arrive, I'll get started. I'll need at least the Klingon Dictionary to begin.
Star Trek Phase II
Tue, 18 Oct 2011 00:37:38 GMT
Just to get people in the mood for what looks to be a year of Trek in 2012. With ACTA Star Fleet and Traveller: Prime Directive coming soon. And with Harvey feeling inspired to crack out the old Star Trek RPG. A fan made continuation of Star Trek TOS, Star Trek Phase II.
Formerly know as Star Trek New Voyages, Phase II is a free to download series created in the image of TOS, with original cast members from TOS and TNG dropping in here and there.
It's full of classic Trek awesomeness and is perfect material to set the tone for Traveller Prime Directive and ACTA Star Fleet.
