Ee gads, talk about an overly complex game.

One of my professors actually designed and created a game called Star Hunter whose entire purpose was pretty much to make a playable and reasonably simple SFB. It's not based on Star Trek for obvious reasons, but the gameplay is incredibly similar and exponentially less complex.

It's still in testing (I've had the pleasure to help test it a number of times), but you can print out everything you need to play it from his web site: Star Dog Games. He's been planning to put up some files on Kinko's web site so you could just go there and click print, but I'm not sure if he's made it that far yet.

It's definitely worth the time to check out, though, I highly recommend it to any fan of the SFB-style of game.
