Argus Array 8 - The 2 Hour Marathon

The longest (and the last of this length) podcast to date. Unfortunately due to ill health WildCard could not be with us (get well soon wild!) however we are joined by the other co-hosts of Kinneas and AcidRain. This podcast is a special one which features the king of modding in Star Trek gaming, Chris Jones, and the owner of CUGS.org, DIF Josh. We also have a special guest host...Mr Derek Chester, the writer of Star Trek: Legacy and Star Trek: Tactical Assault.

This 2 hour marathon for Argus Array features new voice overlays (thanks astelia), massive coverage on Star Trek: Online, chats on Legacy, a huge amount of submissions and chats on the 40th anniversary of Star trek.

Part 1 - 00:01:38 to 00:28:34

With Kinneas, Victor1st and special guest Derek Chester.

The 3 of us have a roundtable arguement...sorry, discussion, on Star Trek: Online by Perpetual Entertainment. We chat about the MMO scene in general and Star Trek: Online's THREE years in pre production. Kinneas takes the corner of Perpetual and Victor1st takes the opposing corner with Derek Chester as Devil's Advocate.

With people like Chris Jones and DIFJosh along with Derek Chester it gives the modders and clans a new perspective on what will be coming for the 2 different parts of the community. We later go on to talk about the ACS III currently being designed by William Schram and Chris jones for cugs.org and the impact the ACS III will have for the people wanting a "persistant universe" for Star Trek: Legacy.
