Trying to start a Trek RPG...

The homebrew Star Wars system would be my favourite, but it seems you people don't like it.

As I said earlier, I'm down with a statless game, but I prefer having some numbers to work with.

Does this involve random throws for weapons, could we have a standard of hits for certain weapons, (say, 11-14 for a phaser on "stun", 15-21 on "kill"?), and for custom weapons, a new set of deciders for that weapon set out by the game uberlord (i.e., you)?
Also, what would ships be named, using what abbreviation, and how many would there be in the fleet?
