First, this idea is probably only going to appeal to Star Trek, or Sci Fi fans, or its possible, that anyone will try it, and its possible they will like it.

second, im not sure if I am actually gonna get it finished, but, I decided I would try, and if it doesnt work out, it will have been a good run, and would have helped me learn the scripting in Rpg Maker XP.

here is the Idea, using Rpg Maker XP, I am gonna make a Star Trek RPG, heres what I am gonna do, it will take place in the TNG(The Next Generation) Time, and you start out in the ship, and you can walk around in the ship, you will be the captain(Captain picard) and you can go throughout the ship, and check up on things, and when you feel like exploring space, you go back to the bridge, go to the captains chair, and basically talk to it, and it will take you to space, and you can move the ship around, and thats where battles will take place, they will not be random battles, but rather, you will be able to see all enemies you can get into a battle with, and when you get close to them, it goes to a battle screen, showing, you ship, and the enemy ship, and that will be where you can decide to stay and fight, or flee, fleeing, will cause you to take minimal damage before you warp a little bit away from the ship you were gonna fight, staying and fighting can cause you to either, be destroyed, and you will have to load a saved game, if you win, you can choose to salvage parts from the destroyed ship, and either sell them, or try to adapt them to your ship(not all parts can be adapted) or, you can decide to leave without taking anything, this way, you will not get ambushed by people of the same race you destroyed.

The battles will be a custom Battle system, where on the left side of the screen is your ship, the right side is the enemy ship(s), and you ships stats on the bottom left, and enemies on bottom right, stats will include Shield status, Ship status(practically HP) Phaser status, and Photon Torpedo status, im not sure if I should make it ATB, or Turn based as of yet, im thinking of going Turn based, but it depends.

The menu will also be custom, allowing you to check your item stock, medical supplies, etc, as well as what parts you have availiable to equip on your ship, although to actually equip them, you must go to engineering, and talk to the engineer, and he will do the work, which will be instant, also, if I can, there will be a different menu when walking around the ship, and a different menu when your controlling the ship.

In the ship, you will be able to visit all main places you see in the actual ship, such as The bridge, Ready Room, Ten Forward, engineering, the holodeck(I hope to make it so you can pick from a few things, and play mini games, etc, or just go for a vacation), you may visit many peoples quarters, and finally, go to the battle bridge(yes, you will be able to seperate the saucer from the rest of the ship)

when controlling the ship, you will be able to visit many places from the show, you may go to earth, vulcan, most space stations(DS9, etc), and even go through the work hole near DS9 to the Gamma Quadrant, and I may make secret wormholes to the delta quadrant, and Beta quadrant.

Thats basically the idea, and more, so it will take a long time before its finished....mainly because this will require much scripting, etc....also I have to make all charsets, chipsets, myself, as well as the gfx for title screen, and game over screen.


what im asking from anyone who likes the idea is this:
1. if possible, you can help make gfx, or find some sound effects, or make some animations, for Phasers, Photon torpedos, etc....
2. please, do not say "oh, star trek sucks, so will this game" or other stuff like that, if you dont like the idea, just say so, cause i dont expect everyone to like the show, or even the game, but I will try my best, as i know there are some that will like this idea, if I can pull it off..
3. some encouragement, and not discouragement, such as "oh, you cant do this" or "you suck dont even bother", anything like that will be ignored, and you will forever be my enemy( )


anyone who likes the idea, should request anything you would like to see, such as, specific places, ships, races, features, etc.


That is all, I am starting on this project today, and will work on it as much as I can, and will keep you all updated...

It's only a midi file, but it has a couple of star trek musics on... that's about it

CLICK HERE then go to the very bottom of the page and click on pop... it has a few other midi's for your enjoyment

I'll try to find some explosions or explosion pics that work well with the theme
