How converting Traveller for a ST game? I mean its pretty much the king of space RPG's.

I played in a short Star Trek campaign wherein the game was more story and narrative based. It was assumed that if you were in the position of helmsman, you could actually they the starship you were in charge of for instance. The only time you needed to make a roll was when there was a conflict of interests, and as I recall it was a simple system of drawing a number of playing cards equal to your ability or skill, and then playing it.

Ive also played in and run FASA's Star Trek system, and found the rules to be superfluous to the game itself, i.e. the amount of dice rolling was almost nil.

Star Frontiers and the Knight Hawks supplement.

I'd use FATE 3.0 with technobabble being a stunt.

Fate works well when everyone is on board with genre conventions. Star Trek is one of the most on-board genres I've ever seen, so I bet that would be sensational.

I've got a copy of the Cortex RPG, and am having had a go at using that. I would probably enjoy it, but I also think that Starblazer Adventures would be a good fit as well.

I think I too would go with something like World of Darkness. It's relatively easy to handle and you can build all sorts of variants to plug on the main system (like Vulcan "disciplines" of sorts or Klingon martial arts).

Blue Planet, and we will make them suffer

Risus.

Savage Worlds - creating aliens/monsters on-the-fly is easy and you can model the technobabble using the appropriate trappings and Weird Science.

That's a credible argument, because of this.
