The Star Trek Starship Creator
Nitcentral's Bulletin Brash Reflections: The Authoritative Works of Trek: LCARS Access: The Star Trek Starship Creator
This program allows you to customize your own Federation Starship! After you choose from Constitution, Excelcior, Defiant, Miranda, Intrepid, Galaxy, or Soveriegn class, you design your own nacelles, hulls, saucers, and even the interior systems of your ship. After you then recruit a crew (out of the many characters, both major and minor, from all 4 series), you can test your ship by sending it on missions.

Note: I have included this with the reference materials only because
The Imergists (TM) were commisioned to create this program by Paramount.

This program is neat but it was a little different than I thought it would be. I had thought that you could mix and match parts of different classes, like putting Galaxy-class nacelles on a Miranda-class. Other than that it is good- being able to fool around with all the systems and then finding out what and what doesn't work. I recommend it. (which probably won't carry much weight, but still)

One litttle problem. the game is set around sd 49000 but allows you to build Constitution-class ships, which were decomissioned around sd 8130. Also, at allows you to recruit many dead charaters. On top of that, it charges money (Federation Credits); but in First Contact (sd 50839) Picard says money dosen't exist in the future. Also, building the Enterprise-E costs about 45000 credits. It's still a good game, despite the nits.

There were two follow-ups to this program that were released: Deluxe Edition was an add-on to the original that included three new ship classes to use: Akira, Oberth, and Prometheus. Then there was Warp II, which had a number of new features and a slightly rearraged ship lineup.

I remember building one of each of the original seven ship classes and sending them out on all the missions that applied to them. Selecting my own crew for each ship was fun, I didn't like it if the computer would just randomly select a crew.

Just like Captain's Chair, this program will not work on the new version of Windows. I would still play it if it did!
