I love that this is taking off.
Trek Captains is my love letter to the 1980s fandom of Star Trek I never got to join. The FASA years, Trek 2, 3, and 4 in theaters, the comics were giving us a faux TV series of the period and fans were wearing monster maroons. This game is set in that time.

TrekCaptains. Thought I'd take a quick snapshot from my files of all the Fed ships I've modeled for this game. Representing a rash of craft from the canon to the popular (FASA, 14' east), to the fanon (Jackill's, etc), to the obscure (Oddball weird shapes from the comics) to some of my own.
