28mm Prime Directive miniatures.

heck why not go another step and make a full minis game ala battlefield Evolution or the original Starship Troopers, a $70.00 boxed set with rules and apr 15-20 federation figures and an equal amount of Klingons, some card/plastic terrain and templates. The amount of potential supplemental support would be amazing, from different types of troops (prime teams/dagger teams, armored marines and vehicles, not to mention shuttles and flyers for air support.) to different armies, such as Romulans, Gorns, Kzinti, and Orions, heck even Modular boards for instillations, or ship sections. I kind of like the name Prime Command thus differentiating it from Prime Directive and Star Fleet Battles, this kind of product would be awesome!!
 
Course, the advantage with going 15mm is that you could make tanks and attack shuttles and fighters and whatnot:-

Star Fleet Marines is perhaps closer to the scale used in games like Epic: Armageddon, in that each unit is a squad (of five human-sized Marines per counter), not an indvidual. (Plus, the game is written for hex maps, so might work better with 6mm minis on a square base capable of fitting on a large enough hex map.)

On the other hand, there has been talk about a future ADB game called KRAG:

SVC: KRAG (Klingon Rapid Assault Group) is a separate game that is two or three years away. It is "one man, one counter" and is designed to handle combat inside a starship. I mention it here only in case somebody want to know what KRAG is. I am not accepting submissions, suggestions, or even questions at this point. I have to do SFM (and some other stuff) first.
 
See, 15mm is about 1/100 scale, so models of fighters and shuttles and tanks could pull double duty as wargaming miniatures and collectors models.

So what do people think of this mod to the classic Phaser Rifle?:-

I've chopped some of the length out of the back end and added a Steyr-Aug style vertical foregrip.
