LOL! Well, they are filthy Klingons. [:D]

I changed Rephidian Ale to Romulan Ale without realising that it's one of the Klingon resources, so now Klingons get a bonus from having Romulan Ale! I'll fix for the next update.

Yeah Igard...all of the Klingon Troop Generals (or Ground CO's, whichever) will most
likely receive the 'drunk' trait. LOL!

I guess I should have read the previous page where you already thought about using bloodwine.

By the way, Igard..your Total Conversion mod on the 1st page of this thread isn't working.

Link fixed. Thanks Sabre.

I'm going to continue to think of Trek resources. If anyone has suggestions, let me know.

Changes for the next Total conversion update-

Wiconium - Blood Wine


Would be nice to get a few more before I release 1.0 of the Picard mod. I can then change the resource bonuses accordingly. [:)]

Transparent Aluminum
 
Duranium
 
Tritanium
 
Latinum
 
Trilithium
 
Venus Drug: from Mudd's Women
 
Cordrazine: stimulant
 
Red matter
 
Kappachino (sp?): from Deep Space 9
 
Corbomite: made up by Kirk
 
Omega molecule: from Voyager series
 
Tholian silk: from Deep Space 9
 
Protomatter
 
There are quite a few more various types of Star Trek resources from types of foods to drugs to star ship materials
 
 

Oh yea...don't forget Root Beer as one of those hideous drinks Quark never liked

Good ones! A few are already in there.

Raktajino is the Klingon coffee I think you're referring to.

I'll list all the changes as I go so we can all see.

Aculon ;Tritanium
Bifurian Silk ;Tholian Silk
Caguar Fur ;Sehlat Fur
Caslon ;Deuterium
Chromium ;Duranium
Dantha Fur ;Tarcassian Razorbeast Fur
Ekarus Meat ;Targ Meat
Emeros Crystal ;Tabalian Glass
Falajian Spice ;Hasperat Spice
Jakanta Ivory ;Mugato Ivory
Rephidium Ale ;Romulan Ale
Wiconium ;Blood Wine
Zentabia Fluid ;Tranya


I love the idea of the Omega molecule, but there's nothing it could replace. It is a kind of holy grail object after all.

Gold to latinum - yay or nay?

I'm going thru my Star Trek encyclopedia and my original Star Trek manual to see what else I can find. There are hundreds of entries in these for everything you can imagine that pertains to the Star Trek universe.
 
Here are a few more:
 
Acidichloride - Corrosive gasseous chemical, toxic to humans..used in medical treatments
 
Actinides - radioactive compound which inhibits sensors, used to prevent detection
 
Adrenaline - medical drug used to treat radition induced aging
 
Aldorian Ale - from Next Generation
 
Antarean brandy - from the original Star Trek
 
Antimatter
 
Astatine - mineral found on planet Orellius (DS9)
 
Beritium - metallic substance used in making jewelry (DS9)
 
Bilitrium - extremely rare crystalline compound used as an energy source (DS9)
 
Cobalt diselenide - biochemical substance used in biological weapons that is toxic to cardassians but not other humanoids (DS9)
 
I could probably find a couple hundred more if you like.

Thats what I was thinking up, as for gold vs Latinum...being that is is the STNG universe I would go with latinum.

This has become really good fun!

I think Saurian Brandy is quite well known. We should stick to ones that are the best known.

Also, the really rare stuff, like Loros fruit, is all luxury. So no extremely rare strategic resources can be used.

So,


Nepthys Wine ;Saurian Brandy
Gold ;Latinum

I think that should do it for beverages now.

It might be easier for me to list what I need to replace now.


Aquasian Incense ;Aquasian Incense - Could use a medical resource, Cordrazine?
Argon ;Argon
Ilosian Jade ;Ilosian Jade
Iridium ;Iridium - Doesn't need replaced, but could be
Korabbian Spice ;Korabbian Spice - Venus Drug?
Krypton ;Krypton
Lead ;Lead - Again doesn't need replaced
Loros Fruit ;Loros Fruit - Has to be something rare
Megallos Nut ;Megallos Nut - Kava nut (Vorta's choice) or Tera nut (Tuvok made tera-nut suffle)?
Natarran Incense ;Natarran Incense
Nekros Stone ;Nekros Stone
Osalia ;Osalia
Otandium Opal ;Otandium Opal
Questurian Skin ;Questurian Skin
Terallion Down ;Terallion Down
Tyderios ;Tyderios
Ucantium Pearl ;Ucantium Pearl
Vodkol ;Vodkol - Ok 1 more drink. Root beer?
Yarras Marble ;Yarras Marble

Jevonite :- http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Jevonite

Yarras Marble; Jevonite

Ok this is all I'm doing for today! Haven't had this much fun modding in a long time!

Here you can see the Cardassians like thier Jevonite.

Here are a few more.
 
Biomemetic gel - highly illegal substance used in biogenic weapons
 
Chlorinide - an extremely hazardous and corrosive substance
 
Chrondite - mineral element
 
Circassian Fig - fruit
 
tribbles = trouble (lol)
 
tetryon - subatomic particles
 
corundium alloy - material used in the making of an alien probe in DS9
 
cryptobiolin - chemical used to enhance soldiers performance
 
Deuridium - rare substance used to extend life (DS9)
 
Deuterium - primary fuel source for impulse engines
 
Eskarian egg
 
Falangian diamond - precious stone (DS9)
 
Earl Grey Tea
 
Heart of Targ
 
Moba Fruit - Bajoran fruit
 
Zabee nuts - snack food made by Neelix
 
Zilm'kach - segmented orange foodstuff favored by Klingons

Gold to Latinum is a must!!!

Mugato Ivory? Really.....not politically correct..........I love it!

Can you fit in Denebian Slime Devil anywhere?

If you go with Root Beer remember klingon's love that warriors drink........"Prune Juice"

From STO

Bateret Incense
Ferasan Nepeta Leaves
Shapeshifting Lockets
Jevonite was already mentioned
Tulaberries

STO also has a large number of Trade Goods and Particle traces used for Research like Methogenic Particles and Genetic Sequences etc. Not sure if any of those would fit in.

Gold in DW is a building resource, not a monetary resource (and it isn't at all rare) so I'd be more in favour of keeping Gold as Gold and using Latinum as one of the Luxury Resources.

*nods*

Das, that's a very good point. I've been making some changes to the galactopedia and Latinum is described as a liquid silver substance, that is used as currency. It's suspended within gold for ease of transaction.

So, it would make more sense to make it a luxury resource. Gold will remain a strategic resource.

Ok here's more changes. Thanks for the contributions all!

Natarran Incense ;Bataret Incense
Megallos Nut ;Kava Nut
Aquasian Incense ;Latinum (I've also changed the image for this)

Tophat, I'm not sure if denbian slime devils are particularly sought after. The Klingon who compared Kirk to one, didn't have a high opinion of them anyway.[;)]

yeah,you both are right about latinum......good call.

I'm just pleased someone remembered the Denebian slime devil reference.
