In episode 173 of Priority One Podcast, Jayce, CookieCupcakes, and Elijah brace themselves for a Tempest on the Horizon and jump right into STONews this week. Itching for a new ship? Well, in STONews, Jayce and Elijah review the release of the new Patrol Escort Refit and its Fleet variant. Later, Elijah asks -- what if Star Trek Online wasn't instanced?
