bear in mind that the stats for captain Kirk was not created using the character creation rules as laid out in the Fleet handbook. The skills were pulled directly from the FASA rule books.
This was meant as a humorous diversion, not as a serious character creation example. So please try to relax.
Although the character creation scheme we are using is not all that different from the FASA rules.
The stat were done by taking the average of Kirks STR and END scores for his BODY. Then taking his INT score for his MIND and his DEX score for his AGILITY.
So yeah basically a character with attributes this high is not possible for a character using our rules.

of course it is important to bear in mind that even under the FASA rules a character like Kirk would be impossible to role as well.
all the attributes are roled using 3D10 and adding 40. So base attributes range from 43 to 70 plus any racial modifiers. The highest modifiers for PCs is STR for Vulcans, which is +20 so Vulcan STR ranges from 63 to 90. But Kirk is Human so he gets no modifiers. So all of his attributes are much higher than can be rolled using the rules.
In our system, since 30 points it the highest we can put in any one attribute they also range from 40 to 70, before racial modifiers. Overall the aveage works out the same to about 53.3 as an average ability score.
whoops my bad in the FASA system the average works out to be 56.6 but its mostly the same.

It seems I might be mistaken, according to the FASA rules players get to role d100 and divide by 2 rounding down. They get to add these points to any attribute with no more than 30 of these points in any one attribute and no attribute higher than 99. So the FASA attribute generation is more like roll 3d10 and add 40 to get base attributes then add racial mods then add bonus points. So the reality the average score for a FASA character is probably pushing 60+

That is the FASA system, yes, as far as I can remember without digging up the books again. They like it in the dark of my basement. THat is not the system we are using, since its been modified. the system we have is base 40 in each attribute, add 40 points total to those three attributes, no more than 30 in any one. That's it in its entirety. So opur average would be 53, not counting racial traits, if you took all traits that buffed yoru attributes, you could but up to an average of 63.
Also, I did not mean it to critique, I was pointing out why there was such a discrepancy in point totals.

Yes I know I just got through saying the same thing I suppose the take home message here is I did not create the stats for Captain Kirk using our system of rules. I am not sure that would even be possible.
