Remastered Cure | STOked 105

Get some advice on how best to prepare for the upcoming F2P conversion in early December, and we continue with part two of the STF revamp series with The Cure revamp and all those nasty Borg evils in store for us!

Chris hosts another dance party, this time in Quark’s, and Captain Geko decides to crash it and he brings some friends….Borg drones, an assimilated Gorn, some Klingon fighters and even a D’deridex. Yes, you read that correctly….the Devs spawned space craft INSIDE the bar!

Community feedback covers the F2P preparation guide and some in depth math on the upcoming dilthium conversion rate including the “dilithium tax” that’s been heavily debated recently.

All that, and the weeks news!

    If I’m sinister it’s only because of my good qualities that are so alien to those that think I am after all the Federation’s goal is to kill everything :) .

    That was a nice neatly packaged show and I thought my bit was better (but still room for improvement).

    The community is really getting behind the dilithium issue and as a community we’re covering all the bases with http://www.thequantumcafe.com/priorityone/1-podcasts/108-episode-57-its-the-economy-ptakh-ft-phyrexianhero-and-simon-ludgate having a big discussion on the subject.

    Irish got it a little wrong, I have ~5000 emblems alone account wide plus other stuff and stand to lose ~2.4million dilithium in the process (~50% not including the vendor price hike).

    Great show as always Chris.

  • Peregrine_Falcon

    Great show as always!

    Thanks for pointing out the worst part of the F2P changeover – the “Dilithium Tax” as you all have been calling it. Between the 30% that you lose in the initial conversion and the diminishing return formula, you can lose up to 60% of your in game currency during the change over to the F2P build.

    So not only have we spent most of 2011 waiting for new content, but those people who’ve played the game a lot anyway during 2011 are losing the rewards they gained from playing the game in 2011. And the more you played the more rewards you got the more you’ll lose.

  • Harry Young

    Great show. Was the first time I watched it live. 

    I get somewhat lucky with the dilithium conversion with my total losses even on my ‘worst’ char only being 10465 Dilithium. Thanks for finding this one and bringing it out.

    Also I’m more and more looking forward to the new STF’s I haven’t had the chance to do them but they seem better nd a little easier now (altough Armek could use some tweeking I think)

    I hope you can compile enough news for next weekend so you can do another round table. I somewhat like it when there are a number of pepole giving different opinions on a topic. Also I’d love to see more outtakes near the end of the credits. really makes you want to stay for them.

    nice show. where is the a.c.t..???

  • Doug3575

    Maverick has a great mic and decent camera. What brand are they?

    Looks like you’re hitting your stride now with the new format; this episode’s the closest in form, content, and length to pre-100 STOked so far. Congratulations!

    I still think the 1-on-1 segments are stronger than roundtables, but this week’s community feedback was well-organized flow well with Mav and Irish covering different sections.  I’d still say avoid roundtables for news.

    I wouldn’t mind an occasional, actual roundtable where Chris moderates a group, making sure everybody speaks and speaks to their talents. One more PBS plug: I’ve always liked how Gwen Ifill does it on PBS News Hour and Washington Week.

    The dynamic between Chris and Jeremy was a major reason for STOked’s success, but I think the new regulars are all getting comfortable enough with each other and the podcast to recapture some of that feeling. And Irish, thanks for getting the TV out of the frame!

    No worries, you’re doing fine and off to a great start!  Will you cover anything in particular after finishing the STFs?

  • Leonhartonsilverwings

    Well the stf segments came from all the work I’d done on tribal and this lead on the all the endear sets so after ka the plan is to go through those sets including a nice lovely chart.
    I’d personally want to do a crystalline entity segment but this depends on me doing good segments to begin, other stuff not taking priority and if the community wants it. It’s about time the ce and other stuff was revisited and I hope with all the experience I’ve got on the ce it will help others trying to beat it. I’m currently working on the ACT segments too so that’s all so far so I may then take a back seat while others have a go and drumb up more segments if that’s what people want.

  • V_Silverwings

    I took on the next ACT segment last minute and due to other topics we decided to bump it to probably next episode.

  • Colonialwarkel

    I don’t really miss the defera ground invasion. when I usually get there most everything is taken.
    I do wish if noone else is online that some of the borg missions could be downsized for single player
    mission.  when in such a group mission. how to get what u need?? greed sometimes works but not most.

    I’ve done this one about 4 times with different teams and they have been
    successful. This is my observation of tactics that worked.

    What’s needed:

    -about 40 each of the minor and major repair (you will die allot)

    -the best equipment currently available to you

    -Tricobalts seem to work well

    -eject warp plasma (it can stop the nanite spheres and buy time to destroy the transmitter)

    -any cannon weapon skills (scatter volley seemed to work well)

    Respawning:

    -repair any damage to your ship ASAP

    Enemy health:

    -Tac cube= over 2 mil

    -Spheres= 200K

    -Main gate= over 1.6 mil

    -repair towers= 200K

    -transmitter= ?

    Beginning:

    -Straightforward just destroy the Cube and Spheres

    Optional Objective:

    -Don’t bother with it. From what i can tell you’ll fail it no matter how careful you are.

    Assault on left or right transmitter (this works on both)

    -Destroy the cube. if protected by a shield destroy a repair tower and the shield should drop.

    -if spheres show up…destroy them by focus fire one at a time.

    -take out repair towers one at a time and destroy spheres that show up with focus fire

    -after all the repair towers are gone, destroy any spheres that show up
    then everyone focus fire on the transmitter. if spheres show up while
    doing this abandon transmitter and destroy them. they can heal the damn
    thing real quick.

    -destroy transmitter, clean up any spheres that show up, and fly to next transmitter and repeat.

    Tac Cube

    -if any spheres around destroy them first.

    -focus fire on tac cube and destroy it

    -completely optional is dragging the Tac Cube into the gate so when it blows it damages the gate,

    Main gate:

    -Destroy it (torps have no effect so you can only use energy weapons)

    The time for each of the segments this week was much better. The flow worked much better. We still need a co-host.

    Thanks for the reply Mav! Not only does the mic have great sound it looks cool too. Kind of a 1950′s style.
