Hi, Allan. Fortunately, Final conflict with a little work could in theory be converted to any space battle fleet game. Although the ship names would have to be changed, new effects, but in theory could be done. The problem would be in finding something which is equal quality to the Star Trek name and sound effects. In this case converting Star Trek is probably easier. Star Wars is another matter. The sound effects, characters, and the entire concept of the Jedi Knights is what makes it what it is. Coming up with something like it just would not work without steeling something from the name brand product. It is for this reason STFC may be released under a non-commercial license to avoid copyright suits, or any legal backlash.
