Hello, Roy Ritterhouse 4*- "Far Beyond The Stars" Collection Please

W.W. Carlisle

Look who I spotted in the Vault!

I'm up for another vanity collection.
On that note... If anyone else is tracking how many Milestones need added to existing collections, my updated list shows 15!

I'm only three stars away from immortalizing Logician Solok, which would complete my objective of finishing all the DS9-specific collections. A "Far Beyond the Stars" collection would give me a new project. I think it'd be kinda neat if Dr. Not-Damar was a milestone reward for the collection, since he was part of that universe but appeared in a different episode.

John Luck Pikkard

I'd be all here for that collection. But according to WRG it's apparently really hard to add new crew to vanity collections. And there are so many crew from Far Beyond the Stars still to come (Jake, Worf, Kassidy, Dukat, Weyoun, Dax,...)

So I think we'll have to wait a while for that collection.

I'd have to check for sure, but we've been getting a vanity collection at the rate of about one a year. This has to be up there on the list of possibilities. I think "Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang" was the last one.

AviTrek

If they can add/fix hidden series traits, they can add hidden vanity traits. Then base the collection on that vanity trait and for a new crew all they need to do is include the hidden trait.

14 themed collections:
3 DS9, Badda-Bing, Our Man Bashir, Play Ball.
3 TNG, Set Sail, Sherwood Forest, The Big Goodby.
1 ENT, Delphic Expanse.
1 Animated. (TAS + LD)
1 Voy, Bride of Chaotica.

Others: Space suits, Gauntlet, Holodeck, Wild West, Originals.

There is no TOS specific collection. I would like to see one, but cannot think of a theme offhand.

Ishmael Marx

As a potential TOS theme (forgive my awful attempts at naming the collections):

"It's all Greek to Me" (Plato's Stepchildren and Who Mourns for Adonais?)
Platonian Kirk / Spock / Chekov / Chapel
Dancing Uhura
Apollo
Grecian Carolyn Palamas

Or

"Mediterranean Heritage" (above crew plus Bread and Circuses)
Gladiator Spock / McCoy
Roman Captive Kirk

There are a few key characters from these episodes that could still be added. Want a Scapegoat-like reward - Flavius Maximus comes to mind (maybe with gauntlet-viable rolls for sec/dip/cmd instead of high bases).

It's inherently hard to do a TOS-specific collection. Guests were almost never seen a second time, or even other guests from the same species or faction. Rarely did anyone outside Kirk, Spock, and McCoy get to play dress-up. The only collection I can see building using existing Timelines crew would be "The Cage":

Away Team Number One
Captain Pike
Orion Vina
Rigel VII Vina
Talos IV Spock
The Keeper

It could be expanded to "The Menagerie" and include Tribunal Pike. Or it could be combined with "Where No Man Has Gone Before" for a Pilots collection:

Astrosciences Sulu
Elizabeth Dehner
Lt. Commander Mitchell

Future variants could consist of Picnic Pike, Vina in a couple different outfits, and Kirk & Spock in their WNMHGB unis. Or their dress unis if you were to go with "The Menagerie". Anyone else would require getting into the likeness rights quagmire.

A very common-looking sci-fi cover image for the era. I've read more than I care to admit of stories from that time. Some are pretty good. Most are a bit cringy. I do love the Edgar Rice Burroughs books, though. Such a good author. The thing is that many of those stories had cover images like this, but the images seldom came close to matching the actual stories.
