S3 Ep 63What is the Sting? And Why Does It Hurt?

Tonight we had big plans on lots of math. So we got to SOME of it, but we got into a great discussion on the Mantis, and it's abilities. This multifaceted ship has been great for some folks and not so much for others. What are the differences, and does it punish higher ops level players MORE than lower? So let's find out WHAT it is, and why it's having an impact. President Eco hangs out tonight to talk a little about EVERYTHING and to soak up some of that Talking Trek knowledge. Please share with your teams, sub to the channels, and ENJOY the show! Visit us online at www.UltimatDJzPlayz.com

S3 Ep 62The Mantis Loop - Highs and Lows of the First 24 Hours

Today we take a step back and do OUR BEST to objectively explain what we can about this arc. The Mantis and it's loop are discussed early, despite how bad it may be, (or is it?) as well as discussing the Syndicate Prime research, the event store loot count/payouts, and many other things at a surface level on this arc. This is a can't miss episode, whether you own the Mantis, or not. Visit us online at www.UltimatDJzPlayz.com for links to our socials.

S3 Ep 61Scopely Vs The World: SNW Pt3 Arcfall

In this Talking in Carz with DJz episode, we half mechanically and half emotionally break down the upcoming content of the August arc. What are the mechanics, and what does the math say? on the other hand, what do our feelings and emotions say about paywalled content, REGARDLESS of your ops? THEN, the epic finale of today's show starts with President Eco comes in to chat with Ripper, DJz and Rev about this patch. What happened after? You will just need to listen....

S3 Ep 60Don’t Look Back, But Don’t Look Forward....

Tonight, the show is stuck between a rock and a hardplace. The rock is July and the hardplace is August. With the upcoming finale of Strange New Worlds in Star Trek Fleet Command, we see early disappointment, the introduction of a new time sync and more opportunities to of course, spend money. DJz teams up with Ripper and BekLikesPlants to provide to you 3 hints tonight pertaining to what is coming in only days. Plus a quick friendly reminder on Borgmada mechanics, and a healthy discussion on Pitbull. Please share with your friends, sub to our channels, and ENJOY the show!

S3 Ep 57Incursions Take 2: Community Roundtable Response

So incursions went off as planned, and TECHNICALLY speaking, it worked for the most part. But there were a few little things, some in engineering, some in design, and others just in perception that Scopely could probably tweak on to make this a little bit better. Today, DJz takes a back seat and let's the community drive the discussion as APAC, US, and EU players sound off on the latest new style of event to hit the STFC Galaxy.

S3 Ep 56Incursions Updates and Events Breakdown

Tonight DJz was on the defensive when discussing incursions and what they brought this past week. Obviously they didn't work perfectly, but there were a lot of things that went right, and moreover, we take a deep dive into the events that WILL present this coming week, and how they paid. Will players be rewarded? or is this another miss when it comes to event payouts? Plus we take another peek at the SNW officers, and answer questions on incursions and how they're SUPPOSED to roll out this week!

DJz is on vacation, so Bubba n Company decide to take an approach on what players want out of arc building. What do players feel is important when constructing an arc? What are the event rewards SUPPOSED to be? How should event mechanics intertwine with eachother? On this community roundtable, players sound off on their wishlist for 'the perfect monthly arc.'

S3 Ep 54Hits and Misses of SNW Pt 2 Launch

So there are pips everywhere, and we've already experienced a snafu with event launch, BUUUUUUUUUT, is the design of this arc already bad? There's already a few positive pieces here, and we're here to break down the good, bad and ugly of SNW Pt 2. From events, to auctions, to the calendar, to the officers, let's see how Scopely is starting the month... Visit www.ultimatdjzPlayz.com for links to our content platforms.

S3 Ep 53Talking In Carz with DJz AND Eco: SNW Pt2

Good morning Commanders! This morning in true Talking Trek fashion a podcast on the go was taped and discussed and broke down the information surrounding this new arc. Officer, buildings, exos, and more, everything thatwe know the answers to is revealed in this show. Plus President Eco answers questions from the community.

S3 Ep 52Bubba and Galaxy Vs DJz: Incursions

Today Bubba returns to the show for the first time since Incursions were announced, and as expected, he's not fond of the concept. However, he finds MANY supporters to his points as DJz rallies around the PvP concept. The conversation ultimately degrades into RoE, and why something is right or wrong? Ripper solves the entire thing in a matter of seconds, but in a RARE instance, DJz disagrees with the Rip and more catpiling ensues. This listen is exciting, polarizing, and most of all, villifying for ALL the members of our panel, as i'm pretty sure at least one thing was muttered by each and every cast member that the community reacted to in horror. Can you find them all? Visit our website at www.UltimatDJzPlayz.com for links to all our content and properties!

S3 Ep 51June Final Grades and First Release Info with Incursions

Tonight was kind of a two for one, taking two shows, and condensing it into one. First a few wrapups of the June arc, with a few positives, but acknowledging the setbacks. We were rushed off this topic though to a breaking news article provided by and presented by President Eco, who stopped by the show for 20 minutes to talk about Scopely's newest article and PRE ARC RELEASE info on Incursions, which arrive in July. What info do you need to know? What questions do you have? This show has 90% of the answers..... but we'll finish it off for you on the next show lol THIS IS MUST HAVE INFO. please share with your teams and BE SURE to spread the word on BASIC DAY 1 MECHANIC CHANGES occurring in July.

S3 Ep 50Wake Me When June Ends.... - Greenday

Time for a breakdown of the last week including the mid month patch and then juts some "June"eral complaints.... Get it? General? June-eral? oh yeah. that's a good one. Hey folks, tonight's show started with some general good ole fashioned moaning and complaining. However, we TRIED to limit this portion of the show by moving to something more positive, and looking at a few bright spots in this most recent 'mid month' patch. However, Ripper and TR8R sound off on why it's not being well received. Ripper also goes R rated on a listener and we eventually get into some general teaching on SNW officers, as well as some preparation notes you should be aware of as we approach this final week of June's highly controversial arc.

S3 Ep 49Comparative Analysis on Galaxy Tree -- Eco Seeks Feedback

Today has been a very long day, with lots of math. So let's start there. Why does this tree have so many people on edge? WE have finally solved it, and it's not exactly what you may think. Is there a deeper issue? And what is Scopely prepared to do about it? Community Manager Eco stops by to discuss the situation, hear from players, and give away some goodies in today's breakdown of the new Galaxy Research Tree. Visit our website at www.talkingtrekstfc.com

Jun 15, 20222h 55m

S3 Ep 48Uncovering the Angst on the New Galaxy Tree

Today unfortunately was a shorter episode than typical, but it did provide a more positive tone than the last 6 days. Obviously a few improvements were made to the game OUTSIDE of the galaxy tree, and those deserved recognition, but with regards to the new research, a new initiative has come about. Talking Trek wants to know WHY this tree is so bad. Is it the cost? Is it the new currency? Is it the time investment? Or is it something else? Let's begin to deep dive into this game and WHY more and more research MAY NOT in fact be a good thing.... Visit us online at www.talkingtrekstfc.com

Jun 12, 20221h 53m

S3 Ep 47Strange New Worlds Brings Strange New Content

Ripper got mad. Really, that's about all that needs to be said regarding the new holodeck feature (but not for obvious reasons) and the new Galaxy Research Tree. DJz tries to get to the bottom of the gripe as we take a look at what Strange New Content scopely brings in June... visit us online at www.talkingtrekstfc.com

Jun 8, 20222h 15m

S3 Ep 46Memorial Events Best Forgotten? Or Still ”Good?”

Memorial Day events were on everyone's mind today as we're coming off the heels of one of the worst deployed sets of events in recent history. However, the facts remain, that the SMS's paid well, and the Tendi Auction allowed players to push extra for this officer if they so chose. Was it all bad? Sound off, PLUS a hint towards the next arc, and more silliness as per usual. Visit us online at www.talkingtrekstfc.com for links to all our platforms!

What potential does it have and could it actually have MILES of potential built in? Scopely, the players want to explore this! Round 4 ALMOST starts, but the arc has a good clean feel overall.

Today, we cap off one of the most controversial months in terms of Bubba and DJ'z perspective on officer sourcing and talk about the appropriate place for sourcing previous content. Plus if you can get through the first hour or so of DJz being a bad guy, we do get into event store loot, and the best ways to spend it. Is there a one sized fits all solution this month? Plus a mathematical breakdown and analysis on the two new officers this month and where they can provide the maximum benefits to you as a player. All this and..... BUUUUUUUUUUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

S3 Ep 40DJz vs Bubba: Round 1

Tonight we were just gonna hang out, drive some miles, and talk about Tendi, but the conversation quickly turned into the pros vs cons of XSLB's, as well as loot payouts and overall monthly payouts for May. There's not a lot to type here.... this is one jousting match that you'll just need to hear.... ps..... Pt 2 comes thoon

May 16, 20222h 8m

S3 Ep 39Feesha and Disco Skins: What Are They Good For?

Tonight we dive into this month's "features" and discuss the Salvager and Section 31 Refits. These two skins DO have a benefit, but is it worth the cost? Only you can decide, BUT we will tell you what they factually do, and what kind of time or grind benefits they may provide. Are either of these game changing? MAYBE. But perhaps only for a specific portion of the community. PLUS, DJz and the crew speak to you in Klingon, which is surprisingly good, and lastly, we apparently are shaming DJz cause of his awesome parenting skills.... or lack thereof.

Well, patch notes were leaked, and info was known ahead of time. and at first glance, we felt underwhelmed.

S3 Ep 33Lower Decks Wrapup, DS Mining Nodes, and no less than 4 Trainwrecks

I feel like doodoo. But the show must go on. So naturally, this show was more 'squirrel' than anything else. But some interesting things came up regarding mining, lower decks abilities, and an UNCONVENTIONAL use for these officers, as well as some new mechanics Scopely tested this month. Did they pan out?

We start off with a fascinating conversation about natural gas vs propane, (not kidding) and quickly make our way into Second Contact, Lower Decks Abilities (warning, math to follow), the mid month patch and what it fixed as compared to what it broke, and finally a little bit of insight into the desealing rod fragments and how to earn those, and how to increase your potential ROI IF you're willing to spend a few bucks.

S3 Ep 30Turf Wars: Tragedy or Terrific? Your Feedback Heard

Tonight's show was divisive and polarizing, and yet again, your friendly furry feline donned the role of evil hissing kitty cat with a perspective that didn't seem to be shared by an overwhelming population. HOWEVER, there is light at the end of this murderous, pvp ridden tunnel, and it's that we came up with a list of improvements to help all find some peace in this newest version of Turf Wars.

S3 Ep 27Rules of Acquisition Pt 2 Final Grades

LOTS of ups and downs this month, and apparently so widely varied in opinions that shots were fired during the show. What side of the fence do you find yourself on?

S3 Ep 26Talking in Carz with DJz: March 2022 Roadmap

Scopley surprised us with a pop up style release of a new roadmap. Honestly shouldn’t be surprised. March is when these usually come. But player reaction is mixed. Why? Could there be more between the lines? Let’s dive in to each of these main points and discuss what COULD be coming and moreover, how players WANT to see these things introduced.

S3 Ep 25Rom Math Revealed - Burning is BACK!

Tonight's show didn't disappoint as we finally iron out the details of Rom and how he works, and determine if Soggy was in fact correct with his hypothesis. But, in doing so, the return of a mechanic long lost to the community is discussed, and both sides of the issue are discussed. Is station burning good? bad? or need tweaking? PLUS we examine the month to date with dabo payouts, and other payouts combined to determine this months overall 'feel' with rewards. Finally, the treasury mechanic is discussed in a brief, yet informative segment about WHY players may or may not feel animosity towards this new hybrid feature.

S3 Ep 24Did Scopely Break 5th Grade Math?

There's not much to say on this one other than, 'scopely..... fixxxxxx iitttttttt.' rounding doesn't round anymore. 1 equals 0, and 1.5 equals 17, Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... MASS HYSTERIA! My head hurts. Take an aspirin before listening. Love, DJz Visit our website www.talkingtrekstfc.com

S3 Ep 23RSS Dumps, Lockbox Info, & Rippers Corner on Faction Research Fixes

Today the show was allllll sorts of information jammed into one. We answer questions about how this monumental SMS can be completed, and why there's a fundamental problem with it's design (in this case), plus get into ship power, WHY it changed, and what players can expect to see when upgrading their ships. Lastly, we dive into the lockbox and set the record straight on a few key aspects of this building, and find that it's actually quite familiar.... And why players should choose carefully when examining this new pay portion of this feature. All this and a SPECIAL announcement towards the end of the show on WHEN we will start actually FILLING this new treasure chest.

S3 Ep 22Strong Week 1 Finish After Shaky Start

Last night we chill on the highway yet again in another Talking in Carz with DJz. While some players prefer this format, (DJz loves the production and goofiness that a studio show brings) it pretty much always DOES deliver some good conversation and content. While the Treasury tax has been repealed, players continue to speculate on it's origins, and Bubba Jo earns his own pitchforks with his proposed solution. Plus, other strong points this week include F2P presentation on Amalgam, increased Rare Directive sourcing, increased officer sourcing (through multiphasics and dabos/epic luck), and increased event reward payouts. Lots of topics on this EXTENDED version of Talking in Carz with DJz (it was a long drive lol) Please share with your team, sub to our channels, and ENJOY the show! please visit us online at www.talkingtrekstfc.com

Mar 14, 20223h 55m

S3 Ep 21New Arc Introduction Tainted by New Tax - Scopely Speechless

Does that read like a headline? It should. The first part of this show starts relatively typical as we break down the valuable meta and events this month that are gonna require VERY careful planning and even then, players will likely have to choose a direction to pursue this month, as it would be very very expensive to do them all. However, the conversation transitioned in the second segment of the show to surround one singular item: The Treasury Tax. The stage was opened to players to explain their take, and send a message to Scopely. Though some opinions varied in one direction or another, the UNIVERSAL sentiment was: "Scopely, This. Is. BAD." Hear players reactions LIVE on the latest hot button issue spreading through the community. Please share with your team, sub to our channels, and ENJOY the show!

S3 Ep 20RoA Pt2: The Only Things In Life That are Certain Are Death, & Taxes

The title speaks for itself. Rules of Acquisition Pt2 (and final) is here, and Scopely has not disappointed in their ability to channel their inner Ferengi. Let's be clear, there are several potentially GOOD things this arc. I will reserve judgement until we're able to see more. But from right out the gate, there's a thing or two that is most certainly and clearly BAD. And one of them is that Scopely has quite literally enacted it's first TAX on the game as it pertains to raiding. Why was this done? What was the logic? We attempt to break it down, and give you more information about the upcoming arc, all the while answering your questions about this upcoming Month. Get ready, this one is a doosey.

Mar 8, 20221h 10m

S3 Ep 19Rules of Acquisition Final Grades Issued!

Tonight, the wounds of RoA Pt 1 were reopened, salt poured in, and then rebandaged in sandpaper. HOWEVER, players found some shining moments this arc and we found time to discuss those as well. The feesha was obviously the big topic, and the perspectives battled on whether the ship was a f2p savior, or a colossal waste of time. Scopely's consideration for players during international crisis was applauded loudly, and week 3 modifications to events were praised. So, was this arc quite AS BAD as we originally may have thought? The community sounds off, and the results MAY surprise you. Please visit our website at www.talkingtrekstfc.com

Mar 3, 20223h 5m

S3 Ep 18Latinum Rush Take 3, and RoA Recap: Bad? Boring? or Bright?

Tonight we stepped outside of the studio and broadcast live from the highway as DJz hosted Talking In Carz with DJz. Topics included a review and recap of some of the items that were introduced this month, a lighter than typical event calendar (which was praised by some players) and Gregor stops by for a completely unfettered, unbiased opinion on his first appearance on the show this entire arc. Is BubbaJoe justified in his complaints? Or is Gregor satisfied with Rules of Acquisition? Plus a nice Q&A towards the end touching on pack sales, the future acquisition of officers, and other community oriented information. As is most typically the case, this laid back episode was a ton of fun, and we encourage you to share with your team, sub to our channels, and ENJOY the show!

Feb 27, 20222h 40m

S3 Ep 17Week 3 Improvements: Is it Too Late?

Week 3 started out not bad. Changes to Latinum Rush were problematic in some areas, but we expected them to be a little rough starting out with the balance of the Feesha's mining speeds. The fact that there's a staple event with some tinkering and modernization is good. We also saw modifications to the Ferengi Recruiting event, and a surprise SMS and SLB with some pretty incredible rewards! We saw the return of one of our favorite Ultra Recruit packs from Duality, and IF you're a spender, the return of a couple of very valuable cash packs. But..... Is it enough to save this arc? BubbaJo and DJz face off over latinum changes, feesha viability, mining in general, and event mechanics in this MUST listen to show!

Fillin Friday launched an Armada Damage SLB, and on the surface, it doesn't look bad. Damage for armadas dictates uncommon usage, but days 2 and 3 of this SLB run along side the Quark Strength event for Rares and Epics. Scoring has synergy and I won't complain about that. But, there are still obvious problems, and they AREN'T from the completion ability of this event, but rather, the logistics. Dumping the entire galaxy into Romulan space, the scoring for Ops 20-22, and the decision to use Klingon Conquest out of context for how it was written all contribute to even MORE community frustrations tonight. But, never fear, math always holds true, and thanks to NCC and StewieDoo, we now have MORE data on how your trait xp gives you returns. How much do you get out of what you spend? Listen in to find out newly discovered mechanics on ATA Critical Chance Success rates. Please share with your team, sub to our channels, and ENJOY this super sized edition of Talking Trek!

E

WARNING: this episode contains explicit language, wild antics, inappropriate comments, and most other stuff that's a lot of fun for anyone who is above the age of 18. this episode is NSFW. On this after show, we begin with Ripper and Bubba shooting the bull and DJz hops in from the car. We talk a little about dabo tokens, comparative payouts, and WHY dabo tokens MAY be getting a bad rap unfairly. Ripper hates on STFC.space (yes he owns it) and we touch on the insanity of the mid g5 economy. Then DJz gets back to the studio and basically, a whole second show begins, touching on f2p paths for primes, g5 scrapping, event modifications, wish list mechanics, and some areas of stupidity.

S3 Ep 14Feesha, ROA Arc, Dabo Bundles - What’s Good and What’s Just BAD?

Hey commanders! Tonight was our first night back in a week and boy was there a lot to discuss. We began with a quick peek a the feesha changes, how they happened and why they may provide a bit of hope for an otherwise lackluster start to an arc. Then, DJz goes on the defense about why scrapping multiple d'vors BEFORE t9 COULD be wise. But does it apply to everyone? Events are under the microscope next, and this is just...... well, you'll hear it. However, there is one bright spot to the month and that is in the Dabo bundles. And yes, these are comparatively pretty decent compared to non even store months of the past (november MAYBE being an outlier, challenge ripper on that one lol) and our projections to your loot count as well as the rss that you can get from para bellum/jelly brawl. All this and SOOOO much more. What a show! Please share with your team, sub to our channels, and enjoy the show! visit our website for links, tools, and past episodes at www.talkingtrekstfc.com

S3 Ep 13Rules of Acquisition Early Review Plus Deep Math on the Feesha

Tonight we introduce the first Ferengi arc, Rules of Engagement and at first glance, there's a lot here to be desired. However, there is a set of the population that is going to benefit greatly from this new mechanic. Is it exciting? Maybe not, but is it useful? The answer is probably yes. PLUS, we dive into the feesha and her abilities. What crew works best? How does the math work? Will the Ferengi officers be necessary? Get your shot glasses ready, the math is intense on this one. Finally, we give you an exclusive peek INSIDE the next weeks worth of events and what you need to know to get ready for the next several days, INCLUDING the Quark Meta SMS's.
