  • The original version ("1st Edition") focused on on small, specially trained and equipped "Prime Teams" who were sent on exceptionally dangerous missions. It featured its own unique RPG "engine" which many players found confusing and limited in its character development abilities. The more recent versions of the RPG allow for more flexibility in character creation, as the game's base format has been licensed in three different gaming system versions: * A "GURPS"-based version, licensed from Steve Jackson Games, centered on realistic gameplay using the "Fourth Edition" rules engine; * A "d20 System"-based version, produced under the d20 open gaming license from Wizards of the Coast, which focuses on heroic class-based gameplay (like the company's Dungeons & Dragons RPG); and * A "d20 Modern System"-based version, with more up-to-date & realistic statistics than the original "d20" version. Each version has its pros and cons in gameplay options, but all allow for more than just the basic "shoot-em-up" characterizations of the original version. As of early 2014, the Core Rulebooks and supplementary volumes on the Federation, Klingons, and Romulans of the "Prime Directive" universe for the "GURPS" and "d20 Modern" systems are available in both print and PDF editions through the Star Fleet Games website. Print editions of the Core Rulebook and the Klingon and Romulan volumes for the original "d20" system are also available (no original "d20" Federation volume was made). PDF editions of all the "1st Edition" material are also available. Plans for versions based on two other systems have either been abandoned or permanently delayed: * A "d6 System"-based version, licensed from West End Games, focusing on more "cinematic" gameplay (similar to the original Star Wars RPG they produced in 1990s); possibly dropped when West End Games went out of business. * A "HERO System"-based version, licensed from HERO Games, which is a multi-genre system allowing for (presumably) extremely flexible gameplay. No word on the official site for any releases in this system.
