Commentary: We played our first session of Star Trek Adventures by stating a slightly modified person of the adventure "Signals" from the Quickstart rules, tailored for the Original Series era. We still have a ways to go before with have the system down. The basic mechanics are simple but their are a lot of points of interaction and a definite strategy to best use of the Momentum economy. Still, I think it's a good system with a the capacity to play very cinematically.

FASA's Star Trek game supplied some of the details to help convert this adventure from TNG era to TOS. The missing runabout of the text became a Pulsar class warp shuttle. A crashed Romulan warp shuttle was of the Praetor class.

The Ranger Class Scout ship used by the characters is likewise a FASA invention.
