A little news today: The people at the Trek Continuing Committee are beta testing a revised format for the First Edition of the Star Trek CCG. Since many players said that they would not accept a format which bans any card, this format tries to fix the problems of the game with a set of new rules. You can find those rules under this address.
Of course the rules are the topic of some hot debates in the forums. The reasoning behind those rules is explained in a series of podcasts on http://www.1elives.com
I can actually imagine with those rules to dust off my old Star Trek cards. Still the unelegant solution to counter broken strategies with referee cards is in full effect (since people reject card bans). Now those referee cards are collected in an easily accessible side pile. The hottest debate is about the rule that one can’t play an Interrupt which is already in one’s discard pile. This together with the rule that cannot have more than four copies of a card in one’s deck kills some legitimate theme decks. But I guess those can be repaired with new cards in a future virtual expansion.
