Hrm.
I think it could be done. One major aspect to the 2d20 Modiphius system is the interplay between GM and Player. IIRC it's called "escalation" or some other word in that general wheelhouse.
There's a system for Pcs and GMs trading off bennies/negative tokens to tug-of-war the scenes. A few ground rules on GMing should make that work well.
Otherwise? It's a gaming system for dice rolling. Ships are statted nicely and theres a lot of online support/modules/info for it.
B+
Yeah, ship combat (as well as the whole of the Modiphius system) is more designed to mimic what you see on the Star Trek shows.
So it's less "calculate the right percentage of impulse power to navigate the debris" and more "Tom Paris knows his stuff. He rolls and navigates the debris field".
I reaaaally like this system for creating walk-on characters. Basically, it's got this side system with character sheets that contain about 1/4 of the information of a regular character sheet. Need a "Redshirt"? In 30 seconds you jot down stats and a name. If the redshirt didn't die and you want him again on an away mission vs the Borg? Hang onto the "Supporting Cast Member" sheet and put him into play.
This system works nicely for when your character is a pilot circling the away team's area, but you still want to partake in the combat if the PCs split up the party.
@Ganymede Yeah, I bought in on it. I like it. It's bot a super crunchy game system, very RP driven, lots of content, stuff like creating cameo characters.
My kit came with the core book, dice, a GM screen, and maps of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants.
I like it leaps and bounds more than the last iteration of Trek RPGs
Modiphius just announced they got the Fallout IP and are putting out a 2d20 Fallout game. They are on FIRE right now.
So their list of awesome IPs now expands to:
It's definitely a thing. There are instances of stuntpersons/body doubles upset that they either didn't get the job because their skin wasn't a close enough shade match to the actor they were doubling, or because they were asked to wear makeup to help match the shade.
