Ship-Talking Podcast

Thomas Marrone finally gets his solo episode! It is a crime it took us this long; but, we're finally glad to have one of our best-friends of the Pod and Lead Ship Designer on Star Trek Online all to ourselves to talk about ship design, bringing ships to life in STO, and a whole lot of other sh*p. An expanded chat with Thomas is exclusively available to our patrons at or above the Constitution-class tier on Patreon. Your answers to the latest Community Q were also discussed before a new question was shared, and the All Hands on Deck Drill saw the community receive an Intelligence Dossier that asked them to send ships from the Prime Timeline to the Kelvin Timeline.

Welcome to the latest episode of our pod-within-a-pod series: 'Shuttle Scuttle', which was recorded in front of a live audience during last month's 'Ship-Talking Pod LIVE' show that Patrons can attend. Alex and Brandon took the ship's shuttle out for a spin to ShipCon2021 where they had a chance to talk sh*p with two friends of the Pod: Designer of the U.S.S. Aventine / Vesta-class Mark Rademaker and Vesta-Super-Fan Oliver Kühle. Oliver gets to meet his idol, we get to hear from Mark more about the ship, and you all get to listen in - it's a win-win for everyone!
