Captain's Log is good as a base, yeah. The real meat of it is in breaking down how to build and run scenes -- for the rest of it, IMO if you're at all familiar with STA, just use that and graft Captain's Log onto it. As Doctor Zero said, character creation in Captain's Log is a bit  and the random tables are written by someone who has no idea how a random table is supposed to work. A lot of the ship stats vary from their STA versions for reasons that I really can't understand at all... many are identical, some are not.As a big fan of STA I found Captain's Log interesting but not super useful beyond helping to organize the actual gameplay part of solo gaming. For someone who doesn't have STA it's probably much better. For a two-player game (one GM, one player) I'd say just go with straight-up STA. Depends on how old your daughter is though, if your intent is to sort of have a shared solo experience where you're both telling the story of the exact same character, then yeah, maybe sticking with Captain's Log will work better.

Doctor Zero posted:Why are Gorn and Romulans playable in the Enterprise era? They hadn't even been seen yet. Their rationale for making races playable in eras tends to be that the race was seen in an episode from the corresponding show. Not that they were memebers of the Federation. (The Andorians not being in TOS are an exception, almost certainly just an error of omission.) So, since Enterprise does in fact feature one 2200's-era Gorn and a small amount of 2200's-era Romulans, they're fair game!

does the game seriously refer to alien species as "races"?

Doctor Zero posted:That's me slipping into fantasy RPG terminology. Understandable (fantasy RPGs need to quit this too), I just wasn't sure if it was you, or the source books themselves.

CitizenKeen posted:Did I miss an announcement about a second edition of STA? They're supposed to be having a launch event at this year's GenCon, if you're going. (I'm not, could not get past the hotel block skill check, also it's the 50th anniversary of D&D so the shitshow probability is rapidly approaching 1) I'm looking forward to 2E, myself. I've had a blast playing 1E, and I'm anticipating good things once the editors have a pass at this! (pointedly does not look at the rest of the page)

Oh hey they have that post-ENT uniform from Beyond. Edit: or wait it’s the 32nd century uniform from Discovery? I was wondering why Discovery wasn’t represented.
