Talking Trek: Star Trek Fleet Command

DJz breaks down some math on heroic sms's (despite their frequency this month) and reveals a 3 year old problem has been fixed. PLUS final ratings, and a hint towards June.

Tonight was one of those late shows that ends up being kinda laid back, lots of great conversation, a wide variety of topics, and just a great listen. Hope you enjoy folks! - DJz

SNW James T Kirk was just released into the game, and immediately, players thought he was broken. But, is he? Or is he ”different” than any other mitigation officer as of yet released into the game? Or Neither? this episode focuses in on the math of Sheild Mitigation, where it comes from, how it’s calculated and WHAT the new epic officer will do for your fleet.... if anything...

The community at large, including the other CC's have all told DJz he's crazy to be happy with this ship. So tonight, we remove the sentiment, the emotion, and the expectations, and look solely at the math. Is DJz a shill? Is the ship trash? Are players right to be furious with this new feature? Let's look at EVERY angle of this ship in detail.

Today Hammy stopped by to give us the insight and early reactions from Game Design regarding the launch of the new Gorn Eviscerator. Examination of the loop, the refinery, and the ships capabilities was in depth and analytical, and towards the end of the show, Jules and Matters popped in to tease some upcoming teaching on the Gorn refinery and the officer sourcing and timing of the ship upgrades.

Tonight was a general hodgepodge of what happened in the month of April, along with some spirited debate on whether PvP belongs in the game. Plus some great crew analysis early on about M'Benga, Chapel, and Sam Kirk. All this and more!

Tonight we step back to one of our most basic principals on the show.... teaching! Tonight's course, Isolytic 101.

Tonight, consider this the Beginners Guide to Isolytic!

Tonight's show was a little off the rails as you woudl expect on a late night show, but hey. why not right? we'll get into what targets will help you the most in this new isolytic hitter event, what the war room looks like long term and why, and finally, the state of pvp as it's microscoped this month.

There were a few things to like this month, and we began with some of the positive changes to the Borg megacube event that's currently running now! Then we'll transition to the changes with Forbidden Technology and see how that's changed, but what soured the month is the monetization and the 'pay to participate' model that seems to inundate everything Scopely touched this month. with one exception, and it SEEMINGLY was no prize according to the community! Find out what it was, and if you agree and issue YOUR final ratings now! Visit us online at www.UltimatDJzPlayz.com for more

Don't let the title fool you, there's a lot more TO this arc to discuss, but it seems everytime we try to focus in on a subject, we come right back to the same "pay to participate" kinda conversation. So why are we here? What is on the horizon? and what are players doing OR not doing that sends the message to scopely decision makers, be it right or wrong. More to follow..... Visit us online at www.UltimatDJzPlayz.com for more

Today Bubba Joe was in rare form as he and DJz debated what mechanics in the game are entitlements, which are supposed to be expanded, and what mechanics SHOULD be allowed to f2p and spenders to accomplish any sort of balance or strategy in this game. DJz may or may not lose his mind. This is one you won't wanna miss! Visit www.UltimatDJzPlayz.com for more

We're 5 days into a new arc, but it feels like an entire month when you start to sit and think about everything that has either not gone right, or has upset players in what would appear to be intentionally inflammatory decision making by the makers of STFC. Let's take a look at everything that's happened in the first 5 days, from isogen bundles, to TC resets, to PVP fixes in what may be the sloppiest kerfuffle of a launch in recent memory. Visit us online at www.UltimatDJzPlayz.com for more

Eco has a candid conversation with DJz this morning about what is good and what is bad in the patch notes regarding the start of the October Arc. Is it all great? nope. But not all bad either. However, there is a real come to reality moment when DJz presses Eco on "sentiment killing" decisions.... Why is the Monaveen sourcing just.... bad? Visit our website for more information www.UltimatDJzPlayz.com

DJz was off, so Bubba took the reigns. What resulted was what some are calling one of the most honest and raw shows of the year! Enjoy the listen!

This episode hopefully closes the book on what appeared to be a dreadful arc, with a few shiny spots. But sadly, when you really look at it, this can only be just the beginning. With such a terrible state of PVP as it stands today, what can come that possibly makes this better? New officers must complete the set, but those abilities will do nothing to solve the damage output problem. Where do we go from here? Visit www.UltimatDJzPlayz.com for more info!

This month felt strange... DJz and Bubba talk about the OBJECTIVE facts of the month vs how it felt to some players. Was there as much focus around the good things this month or were they drowned out by what felt like super aggressive sales tactics? And what does Scopely do from here? Let's wrap this arc and move look forward to our next month and hope that it looks and feels better! Visit us online at www.UltimatDJzplayz.com

WARNING: This is a highly volatile and emotional episode that contains some moments of intense passion, raw language, and some sibling fighting... Listen at your own risk, NSFW. Tonight, the frustrations of the community come to a head as even the panel unleashes on eachother about the latest blunders by Scopely decision makers. In what will no doubt be referred to for a long time to come as the "death of pvp" some players have strong reactions to Scopely's well considered 'plan.' Plus discussions regarding the Monaveen and the new Territory Capture revamp ALSO get heated.... This was a show that you simply can't miss. Visit online at www.UltimatDJzPlayz.com
