Vintage Starships>Main Menu>Introduction to the Site


Welcome

This site's material  has been compiled by Steve Bacon, with generous assistance from  Lee Wood and Bryan Jecko, and with suggestions and feedback from Steve Pugh, George Recker Jr, Terry Shannon and others at the FASA Star Trek Universe eGroup.

The previous version of the site is online at vintagestarships.tripod.com.


Our Mission

Originally was to recreate the missing chapters from Star Fleet's past for the FASA Star Trek Ship Combat Tactical Simulator game.  Further FASA material is currently in the works.

Recently it has expanded to included scaled CGI representations of Star Trek ships up to c2260, including ships from Fandom, Print and Canon sources.

Please feel free to e-mail me with any suggestions or feedback at vintage.starships@ntlworld.com


The Game System

The FASA Star Trek Ship combat evolved through 3 editions to eventually produce the Star Trek Starship Tactical Combat Simulator. Although long out of print the system has recently been sold, in the aftermath of the collapse of FASA, and is due to be re-launched with a new non Star Trek setting. The original can still be obtained from eBay and numerous second hand game (or book) retailers and websites.

Part of the project that this site is part is to produce construction rules for ships of the 2151-2251 period using FASA rules. These rules are available  here
