I'm a big fan of the steam-trek site, actually. I found you guys midway through developing <em>FLFS</em>, and it looks like you all are having a ton of fun. As a point of comparison, <em>FLFS</em> is lighter on the camp and shies away from too much "Trek" -- Trek is a franchise that is done, done well, and done often, and therefore I'm not going to even bother to compete with it. <em>FLFS</em> is a lot closer to <em>Battlestar Galactica</em> and <em>Horatio Hornblower</em>, with dreadfully complicated situations that will very rarely have neat and clean solutions to them. Will you be at GenCon SoCal? I'm running those four events and will be at the Forge Booth, if you'd like to swing by to check things out. Hey there, Maxby!

The game mechanics seem intriging but the setting is very familiar to me. ref. http://steam-trek.com I would thoroughly enjoy seing a copy of the finished product. From the perspective of further developing this genre I would enjoy opening a dialog to discuss; setting, history, technology, culture and etcetera. God Save the Queen!

I think it needs a second, interlocking gear on the bottom, though, to the left of the one that's currently there, and then maybe 1-3 additional gears on the right side, just sticking out, interlocking or no. I think this would suggest that the whole thing is full of motion. I like this.

This is a title treatment, not final art. When it goes into a cover or something it'll be fiddled with as appropriate, probably adding texture and color. Oh, I see where you’re coming from.

Too shiny, too streamlined. Too shiny. Add grit. Add rivets that show there is more than one sheet. It’s not the elements, but the look.

Add grit. Add rivets that show there is more than one sheet.
