Oh don't remind me.  Countless hours wasted playing that game.

"Oh no, I need at least fifteen units of fuel left over so I can
TransWarp back to the spaceport! If I don't someone will come along and
blow up my ship while I'm gone!"

There was Corbomite, of course, but it was a Catch-22: while you were
just starting, you needed it but couldn't afford it; when you were
wealthy, you could afford it but you didn't want to blow up your ship.

And I never managed to have enough firepower to ignore the Ferrengi (yes,
big plagiarism and possible StarTrek lawsuit) when they would attack me
and board my ship.

Well, I just swapped it out for the SMC router.  Its a PalmRouter PR-100,
made by Xsense.  I picked it up a few years ago for $50.  4 ports plus
the uplink port, though my current flaky version only has two working
ports.  It still has a built-in firewall and a DMZ option (though with
only two ports thats not as handy).

MicroCenter had them on sale recently.  $29 for a refurbished 3-port SMC
wireless router (wireless plus a switch with 3 regular Ethernet ports). 
Its the refurbished part which is why you may not have heard of them (I'm
thinking some "special use" router which was refurbished and then sold in
the general market).
