Opinion[edit]

This page is missing any mention of the online version of the game developed by Worlds Apart for Decipher, or of what happened to the hundreds of thousands of virtual cards that the players had sunk their money into when WA was sold to SOE. 78.101.204.171 (talk) 16:27, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This page contains quite a bit of opinion and some inaccurate information. I cleaned up parts of it, but it could still use some work. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by FrakkinAnimal (talkcontribs) 02:21, 27 May 2006 (UTC).[reply]

I've added some more current (and much needed) information. When I get the chance, I'll move some other things around to achieve a more NPOV level. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.118.125.156 (talkcontribs) 22:42, 12 June 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Please remember to sign and date your contributions to talk pages. This can be done by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your text.

The current version of the article does have a problem with NPOV, but it's a relatively small problem. Opinion is okay; per WP:NPOV it is encyclopedic to present viewpoints in a neutral manner. The problem is the lack of attribution of viewpoints: Who questions the game's future? Who says Delta Quadrant Spatial Scission jumped the shark? Anyway, this problem likely follows from the article's much bigger problem: lack of references! Citing sources will go a long way toward clearing the POV attribution up.

Comments[edit]

It is not clear how many players are supported in the game; though mention of '2 players games' are made repeatedly, it would be helpful to know how many people can play and how well e.g., MtG can be played with more than 2 players but it's not ideal.

It would be helpful in the list of expansions to mention the dates they were released.

Brief mention is made that some cards are 'backwards compatible' but this concept isn't well explained.

The game was designed to be both a 2-player and multi player game. Many of the cards have text such as "the player on your right may do X" to allow for multiple opponents. Initially, the tournament system recognised both formats, but it currently only sanctions regular tournaments where players face each other 1-on-1.

I made a few changed top the Enterprise Collection area to reflect the fact that this product is now being shipped and that players have already been receiving them. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.18.160.11 (talkcontribs) 01:51, 5 July 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Need Help[edit]

This article needs to be edited by someone who has an expansive knowledge of the game. There is no way for me, or anyone who is unfamiliar with the game, to provide a comprehensive edit. I changed some things that were NPOV and tried to remove any language that sounded like it wasn't an encyclopedia article. I will post a verify for it and put it in article clean up. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Plm209 (talkcontribs) 08:12, 8 August 2006 (UTC).[reply]

I'll take a look at it here over the next week, see if I can't do it some justice. (Played the game from shortly after release up until shortly before its demise and renaming as the First Edition, so I'll see what I can do) Kcbnac 18:18, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would be happy to add to the second edition page, which I feel is totally biased against the game. I will review it in time to add much needed information, and clear up the inaccuracies. Once a skeleton is in place, I can beef up the content. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.18.160.11 (talkcontribs) 03:32, 28 August 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Could someone who knows about this game add an infobox that gives play time, setup time, skills required, etc., like Star Wars Customizable Card Game and Magic: The Gathering have? SU Linguist 21:38, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Continuing Committee[edit]

Please stop removing The Continuing Committee section from this article. TCC is working hard to support the game (with Decipher's blessing) and deserves to be mentioned, as the games are still being actively supported and the player base is growing. If you have a problem with TCC, please feel free to visit their forums and take it up with them. 24.210.193.191 (talk) 21:07, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have nothing against TCC, and in fact think they're great. None of that changes the fact that they have no established notability on Wikipedia, and there are no citations from reliable sources supporting any of the claims in their section. If you wish to re-add the section, please do so with reliable citations establishing their notability. For example, a news posting on Decipher's page, telling fans about TCC and how they are now supporting the CCG, or a news article by a paper or online news site talking about TCC and what they are doing. MrMoustacheMM (talk) 23:27, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
But we're not talking about an entire article about The Continuing Committee here; just information on the current state of the game. The game itself is obviously a notable subject since it has it's own article. This section would just be additional, publicly known information about the game's state and where it stands now. It would be false to claim or imply the game is not being played or developing. 24.210.193.191 (talk) 19:11, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't matter that this is only a section. Even uncited, non-notable sections should be avoided on Wikipedia. I understand that you want people to know about the site, but unfortunately this information isn't appropriate in an encyclopedia without some sort of reference that establishes its notability. MrMoustacheMM (talk) 04:11, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I know when to admit I was wrong. See WP:RSN inquiry for allowance of trekcc.org as support for its own information and as support for the original games. MrMoustacheMM (talk) 01:28, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For the record I think TCC deserves a mention here. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:48, 13 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge from Tribbles (game)[edit]

I don't see any evidence that this subgame is notable enough to warrant a stand-alone article, but the content is referenced and can be simply merged (copied) here. Thoughts? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:47, 13 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

removed "beautiful women"[edit]

There were no less than three sentences that read along the lines of: "This expansion included two more beautiful women: Hoshi and Kira". As far as I was able to tell, the characters stated weren't the only female cards in those sets, nor were they the only foil cards, female or not. Removing just the cringey "beautiful" would have left the reader with the erroneous sense that these cards were worth pointing out, so I opted to remove the entire sentences. While I don't disagree that the actresses were attractive, it read like a description from someone's 1990's fan webpage, undermining the validity of the rest of the descriptions. Should these cards for any reason bé necessary to include, please find a way to do so, without it sounding like a fan-fiction.87.209.236.59 (talk) 12:20, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
