Star Trek Character Profile: Data

UPDATE 1040PM EST: Error Message should be resolved now. Please Force Close the App and Restart your device. 

UPDATE: Just a quick FYI. I have been bouncing back n forth with info to TinyCo for those of you with the Data Error over the last little while. They do believe they found the culprit now. Hang in there while the Engineers finish working on it.

 

Hello There Space Clammers!

Star Trek has taken over Quahog!  A Starfleet Shuttle has conveniently crashed in Quahog and apparently someone decided that the future of the Galaxy should rest on Peter’s shoulders.  (cause that sounds like a smart idea!)  It’s your mission to help Peter save the Galaxy, after all it’d be a pretty boring game if he did it by himself!

Along the way you’ll encounter characters from the USS Enterprise that you’ll have to save (you know save by collecting STUFF).  The Sixth Star Trek character you’ll encounter in the event is Data, the second officer and chief operating officer on the Enterprise…you know despite being an Android.

2015-04-18 01.50.24

Let’s take a look at this doc and just what happens when you unlock him in your Quahog! 

As mentioned above Data is an Android and you’ll find him in The Holodeck.  As with (almost) all characters in TQFS in order to unlock him you’ll have to collect STUFF.

Data

Here’s a look at what you’ll need to make Data a permanent addition to your Quahog:

Dilithium Crystals4000 Dilithium Crystals

Emotion Chip25 Emotion Chip (Always): Blow up Romulan Warbirds

Anti Virus Software28 Anti-Virus Softwars (Rare): Starfleet Peter Press All the Buttons OR Herbert Take Gross Old Man Bath OR Make Crusher Crush It

Cat Food20 Cat Food (Common): Borg Cube 63697 OR Riker Seduce Alien Ladies OR Locutus Drink Borg Tea Additionally Patrick Stewart, actually Patrick Stewart from Comic Con Event, will have a task to drop Cat Food. 

Floppy Disk50 Floppy Disk (Common): Clear Borg OR Spock Do a Vulcan Nerve Pinch.

Data is the 5th, and final character you’ll unlock on The Next Generation Character Set and he is required to complete the Week 5 questlines.  You can view his questlines here.

datacollection

Note: After you’ve unlocked Data you should earn 50 FREE Clams!  Freakin’ Sweet!

Data also comes with a complete set of tasks!  Tasks that will help you earn more Dilithium Crystals, the event currency for Star Trek.

So let’s take a look at Data’s tasks:

Data Malfunction

Task Length Earns Location Level
Embrace Childlike Wonder 2hrs 10 Dilithium Crystal 2 Star Trek XP Enterprise 2
Practice Emotions 4hrs 15 Dilithium Crystal 3 Star Trek XP Visual 1
Quoting Science Stuff 6hrs 20 Dilithium Crystal 4 Star Trek XP Enterprise 5

Empty Spot’s Literbox 16hrs 40 Dilithium Crystal 7 Star Trek XP Enterprise 4
Act Like a Human 24hrs 50 Dilithium Crystal 10 Star Trek XP Enterprise 1

Just for fun, here are some of his Phrases…
“To hell with our orders”
“The only thing keeping me from being human, is a sweet tan”
“I do not care if I feel it or not. Stop tapping me.”
“Humans Orgasm. I… short circuit”
“I am not the droid you are looking for”
“I have infiltrated your Smart Phone and have hacked into your main frame”
“Was that funny?”
“Please do not call me Data like that Jerk Dr. Pulaski”
“It is unnerving that my Creator made me hairless down there”
“The reason I wish to be more Human is simple… Humans get to eat more ice cream”

And that my friends completes  the character profile for Data!

What are your thoughts on Data?  Have you unlocked him yet?  Thoughts on his dialogue?  How about his tasks?  Any tasks you wish he had that he doesn’t currently?  Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!

    I got all characters I wanted. All five next generation Star Trek characters. The outfits for Peter, Lois, Chris, Stewie, Quagmire, & Patrick Stewert. I had roughly 14hrs before the event ended but I got everyone I wanted. And I can’t wait for the next event to start.

    All I need is 7 anti-virus softwares and 3 floppy discs and I have Data. Only need 1 space condom to get Vulcan Quagmire. Already have Talosian Stewie and all the other next generation characters. But I don’t have the original characters or Worf. I probably won’t have time to do Data or Vulcan Quagmire’s quest lines. Since the event ends Thursday at 5:00 central time. I just worried about collecting the items for now and if I have time left before it ends. I’ll do the quest lines. Or and i’m also currently fighting Laser Borg Bertram its health is only at seven. One question does the Bladed Borg Bertram become unlock after you beat the Laser Borg Bertram. Thanks.

    • Where are you on the Warp Cores? You will only get the additional two unlocked once you upgrade. If you are upgraded, then yes… as you defeat one it moves to the next Borg up til you are at the top. If you loose, then it restarts at the bottom.

Sent in game message to tinyco, but last message 4 days ago still unanswered. Tried force quitting game, rebooting android tablet, no luck.

  10. Soo… Does unlocking Edo Herbert give you a bunch of Starfleet xp? Otherwise, I think I just had a ‘good’ glitch happen to me. I was about 2/3 of the way to lv10, unlocked Data about 20-30 minutes ago, and just tapped on Harrington’s to finish completing the transition to Edo Herbert, and while tapping all the buildings in Quahog prior to going to the Enterprise, I hear a few notification sounds, and get a message saying my Starfleet level is now 10. I’m now sitting at roughly 1/3 of the way toward lv11, so it must have been a ton of xp. The only new quests I received were the one for the new Starfleet main questline, and a subquest line for Talosian Stewie (unless unlocking that questline gives xp?).

    Certainly not complaining, since Bertram will be knocked out in 30 minutes and it’ll be great to start in on the bladed borg version. But I’m still wondering what exactly caused that massive push of xp. Anyone else have this happen, or know why?

  12. After reading the comments about data’s cheapness to finish I went and looked at what I needed. Still needed 6 data chips @ 6 clams each then I looked at the unlock button and it said I could unlock him for only 18 clams! Awesome sauce! So knowing I would get a 50 clam bonus for getting him I of course paid the 18 clams 🙂

    Like

  13. Just a heads up, I still need 2 softwares for data, which cost 6 clams a piece if you want to buy them, but when I clicked on the lock to see the total to unlock him, it was only 6 clams. So its kind of a buy one get one deal. I’m waiting to see if any of my remaining characters drop one from their current attempt, but its a good deal if you’re close!

    • I’m still locked out of the game – have been for a week now while TinyCo tries to fix the problem – last update locked out everyone running IOS6. Although they are apologetic and polite, they still haven’t solved the problem, and even if they do (I hope) I’m now a week behind, so there is no way for me to finish this event with all of possible goodies. So, I’ve asked that they either compensate me for all the money spent on the Star Trek event; or, what I would really like, is once the problem is solved, that I be allowed extended days and deadlines equal to the number of days that I lost for the quests and battling bertram.

    i know i know… had to spend clams but it was so worth it to ME… i was getting so annoyed at not getting those softwares… imo the drop rate was ultra epic… maybe Herbert dropped 4 in the past week… F O U R!

    • Well… that is due to each level requires more and more XP. Standard stuff. 😉

      So it may seem slower to reach each new goal. You also may not be buying so much or creating as much either. Remember some of those replicator items drop 100 to 800 XP. So if you made one… you’ll jump vs just doing daily tasks at 2 or 5XP each.

I try to follow all the advise and purchase some “help” now and then but I’m genuinely starting to get a little worried about getting Data. Don’t really want Consuela so I’m not concerned about getting her but Data is driving me nuts. I’m also worried about getting enough synthesizer ore for Kirk. I must have Kirk. This is mandatory. I’ve been informed by the nerdern hemisphere of my brain that this mission is crucial. Ok so there wasn’t really a question but it feels good to talk about it with people who can relate. Also I get all goosey bumped when bunny replies to me. (Blushing and giggling like a young school girl)

  27. I’m trying to decide if I want to use the 4,000 dilithium, of the 6000ish I have, on Data, or just wait until I have enough for Kirk. Data could earn more Dilithium towards Kirk, though. I suppose I’ll just wait and see what the next Warp Core upgrade brings. He may help drop something for unlocking Scotty or Kahn. (Hopefully only one of those will be premium.) I REALLY hope Borg Consuela isn’t part of a Mystery Box. I hate when they throw costumes in those.

    Kirk and the originals are honestly the only characters I truly want from the event. Of course, hope I get them all because I have every character and costume released in the game thus far, and am OCD about having the complete roster. Haha! Mind boggling that we’re getting up to 80 characters now. So much hard work on the animation team and programmers’ part.

The targets in Tapped Out’s Twerwilliger event look much more reasonable, so I’m taking my energy over there…

    I don’t know if this is an error or by design, but when I sent Data on the 12 hr Malfunction task, it looks like he went to the Replicator to complete it. Now when I tap on the Replicator, it only tells me how much longer Data has on the quest and it won’t let me use the Replicator or even look at what I can craft or what materials I have available.

    • Very weird… unless he was behind it when you sent him. Was he by Bertram? If so, he is probably just close enough behind it… exploding into pieces… to make it in the way of the Replicator. Try to zoom in really close and see if you have better luck on Replicator. Tap by bottom of the room.
