S2 Ep 35To Vidar or Not to Vidar; THAT is the Question

Hey Commanders! On today's episode we broke down the last week's worth of events and recognize the "hard line" in the sand for some players who were not "thought" of during the planning process of this arc. Not only now with the Vidar, but in week 1 with the Franklin-A. Analysis is underway in what happened, what feedback went up, and how Scopely responded to a number of issues this week. Some of them favorably, and others, well, head scratchers. Plus we discuss the Borg Officer "economy" and why Scopely may be sooo proud of these officers.

S2 Ep 31Talking In Carz with DJz: Swarm, Events, and 2nd Researcher

Today was a long day. And DJz was frustrated. NOT ONLY with Scopely, but with explaining how the new Franklin-A could possibly be frowned upon. Shilling aside, this is probably one of the best expansions Scopely has ever brought, so what is it that some players are seeing that has their smiles turned upside down. We dive in, and then get REALLY grumpy over the ticketed events and second researcher. Fair warning, this episode is not for the faint of heart. Be warned.

S2 Ep 28Final Grades: TOS Arc 3

Tonight, we issued our final synopsis on the Original Series Third Arc. A few positives were highlighted, but many negatives as we discussed the pros and cons of this arc. Mathematically speaking, how did this month compare to previous event stores? What about the previous run of ticketed events in February? Was it better or worse than Borg Arc 4, which is notorious for being the worst arc in the game's history? Finally a moment of rant when DJz gets onto the subject of devaluation...

S2 Ep 27Event Prepping, Spending Nothing, and Winning Leaderboards

Today we had an interest conversation kinda spark our content. Flash back two years ago when Scopely had never released a calendar of events. No planning was possible, and players were left guessing what was coming next. This is PARTIALLY true today with specific events like the Battlepass POINTS events, but for the most part, arc related events have a calendar, the daily event rotations have a calendar, and some events are scheduled regularly, such as Latinum Mining, Swarm Sunday, and now Anomalous Phenomena. But for some players who HAVEN'T noticed the patterns, or the tools with dates, how can you best utilize these tools to help plan for auctions, events, leaderboards, and STRATEGY! Today we dive in to a few known strategies, and maybe one or two new ones to allow players to "bank, save and blow" for various styles of leaderboards. Plus, shoutout FGTeeV Duddy.

S2 Ep 25Ticketed Events & Event Store: EPIC VALUE?

Folks, we throw some math at ya tonight. Get your nerd glasses on. There are lots of complaints about the PAYOUT of these events here in March. However, the amount of event store currency as compared to our highest event store ever (December) is actually higher.... BUT, at the sacrifice of rewards given by the ticketed events in February? How does it all math out? Count on the team at Talking Trek to highlight the differences, and point out a few more events that STILL need some modifications for some player segments.

S2 Ep 24Ticketed Events Rewrite

Hey folks! In today's show we were provided a task by the Scopely team! Take the current ticketed events, and suggest modifications.

S2 Ep 22Talking in Carz with DJz: Jellyfish Auctions, Supremacy, TC Lag, and Arc 3 Hints

Folks, today's episode was not our normal produced studio rendition, but rather a more laid back relaxing country drive in the car. DJz was feeling slightly under the weather, so this is what we got today. But as most people have observed, sometimes, the best content comes in a relaxed laid back conversational manner. Today was no exception. Topics included the frequency of jellyfish auctions and perhaps, some writing on the wall indicating the possible future of this ship. We also discussed the recently revamped Military Supremacy and how that ties into available hostiles, systems and even capital city traders. Which also leads into our Arc 3 hint for today. We wrapped up on Territory capture lag RESEARCH updates, and what we now know, and what we can try to do moving forward. All this and much more on today's chillax version of Talking in Carz with DJz.

S2 Ep 21What if??? Plus Drip Drop... Leaks and Hints for Arc 3

Hello Star Trekkers! Today was kind of an exciting day! SpaceX experienced a (delayed) successful test flight and that inspired us to consider, "What If?" TOOOT TOOOOOOT! Let's pull into Imagination Station! What if things in the game were being reimagined and reiterated to present in a better way again in the future? What if ideas and mechanics of the game were redesigned to function properly? What if other properties present in a such a way that we, as players, control the narrative of the future of STFC Gameplay? It was a wild conversation and one that gets the most pessimistic of player dreaming again. Plus of course, we are between the arcs, so hints of upcoming content are presented during the show. Plus, a drill down on one or two known LONG term bugs and how you can protect yourself against these glitches.

Hey Trekkers! Welcome to our latest episode where we chatted about several things, including DJ'z fear of flying.... gag. But into game related items, we dive into the MECHANICS of the pvp/pve hybrid event. Why were players messaging you that you hit them in a non pvp system, but it WAS a pvp system? Why were players flying INTO your pvp system anyway? Where were the bonus points?

S2 Ep 16Exploits vs Cheating; F2P Ticketed Event Payouts

Hey Star Trekkers! Today's show went nothing at all as planned and we veered into a conversation that you guys drove. First up, to put to rest the concerns players had with the realta hull glitch and how it was temporarily patched. What will scopely do to prevent this in the future? Plus what should happen to the players who used it? Then we moved forward into examining the Valentine's Day event structure and payouts and what could be improved. This naturally transitioned back into the conversation about the ticketed event mechanic as a whole. Are there benefits? My analysis says yes, but not everyone agrees. We break this down from both sides and look at how it can be made better. All this plus stupid news, a contest giveaway, and one of DJ's biggest in game mistakes in the last 6 months....

S2 Ep 9Battlepass Overflow for F2P? + How to Prepare for Auctions

Last night was our first time together in a week, and 5nakeEyes did an amazing job at keeping DJz on task. Today, topics were discussed around HOW a F2P could possibly complete the Battlepass Overflow event. Was Scopely lying when we announced DURING the FIRST day of the arc that it could be done without spend? What are the requirements? Let's break down the math and see what we know, PLUS get the LATEST words DIRECTLY from Live Ops regarding Battlepass overflow. Plus, the second kirk and spock auctions are upcoming... only days away. Are you ready? How can you TRULY prepare as a f2p or minimal spend player, for an auction of this type? There are no guarantees, BUT, there are methods of planning that can HELP you determine your level of competition as we draw nearer to the designated dates. How many points can you score? With a little math and a roadmap, you can absolutely predetermine your score (not rank) in these auctions. Can you get enough shards to make your goal? We'll help you with some planning tips. FORTUNATELY, we got through the bulk of our content, cause after the meat and potatoes was done, the studio lost power. Power was restored several hours later and a closing was taped, but it was hoot n holler fun for those here live. See what ya miss?

S2 Ep 7Latinum Mining Mechanics Revealed; TOS Officer Overview

Hello Star Trekkers! As happens occassionally, TOO much happens in preparation for a show. Conversations run long, the community becomes passionate and polarized, and debate occurs. As the ONLY long form format of content within Star Trek Fleet Command, I feel it's our responsibility to allow community feedback, and allow voices to be heard. Part 1 ran long and was all about burning, and therefore forced us into part 2 for the remainder of the show. This show would normally be uploaded a day later, but due to containing TIME SENSITIVE data for Latinum Mining events scheduled today, we're posting both at the same time. Contained within this episode is a breakdown of the newly redesigned Latinum Mining Monday mechanics, complete with ops brackets, milestones, point values and a breakdown of the ships and their mathematical pros and cons for today's leaderboard. Plus an overview of the new TOS officers in PVP, as well as research into a mining officer NOT working as written. This and more in this part 2 of Talking Trek's Sunday night podcast.

S2 Ep 6To Burn or Not to Burn, That is the Question

Folks! HAPPY SUNDAY! Tonight we got started late, which combined with the events of the week was a recipe for disaster in the Talking Trek studios tonight. We tackled the extremely controversial topic that is burning, and presented opinions and facts from both sides of the aisle. Did Scopley solve all the problems with this change of a 2 year old established mechanic? Are the VIP's responsible for the change? Or are the VIP's ALSO scratching their head at this change? In today's show we spent as much time as necessary to explain the facts, present real data, and offer INSIGHTS into eachother's game play. This episode went too long, so we took the entire conversation about burning and made it into one episode. NORMALLY we would upload Part 2 a day later HOWEVER, part 2 contains time sensitive info, so both pieces will be uploaded today. Enjoy your super sized portion of Talking Trek today in this, part 1 of 2, podcast on the state of affairs in STFC.

S2 Ep 3Leslie Researched and Testing; Arc 1's 17 hints

Good evening Star Trekkers! Today on the show we spent the first few minutes celebrating 44 years of oxygen consumption by Talking Trek contributor Vita. And discover why he's such a profound activist for cleaning up the code of this game (it has nothing to do with his 9 year old device I'm sure) But then we dive into Frank Leslie and all of our testing this week. How is the best way to actually use this officer and where will he give you the best results? Then we play a little game. UltimatDJz was the ultimate loser since somehow the community swindled him out of 17 hints about the upcoming arc. That's it. Game Over. Thanks for hanging out community! Hope you enjoyed the final show of 2021! LOL For all things related to Talking Trek, please visit our website at www.talkingtrekstfc.online

Hey galaxy! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Oh my goodness, and welcome to Season 2 to correlate with 2021. We had to move on, jump out, completely do away with anything related to 2020! So we start with our show today, wrapping up 2020 with a visit to April 1st, 2020, when we revealed Scopely's deepest development secrets. Which were true and which were made up? We break it down and realize JUST how far we've come this year. Plus, Kuron was discussed as he debuts into the galaxy for the first time in over 2 years. But what does he do?

S1 Ep 112Merry Christmas Events: Super Huge? or Ebineezer Scrooge?

Hey folks! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Whether you celebrate ANY specific holiday or not, we wish you the best during this time, and hope that you've had the opportunity to spend time with those you love or doing things you love.... Maybe even spending some time in game running armadas with your team, or grinding reds in TygoKor, or grinding borg probes for the charged probes for the faction reputation and credits? There were several mechanics at play, and we break them down. PLUS, the loot? was it REALLY as bad as people thought? let's do some math and look at some scenarios? Perhaps Scroogely didn't pay well enough, OR.... perhaps we were unable to see the conversions that really mattered. In anycase, you have time because both the holiday store and event store are open until noon eastern on 12/29. So let's talk about it! Please subscribe, share with your team, and enjoy the listen!
