S2 Ep 73Exocomps Evaluation and Wish List

Today we look at exocomps in detail. Out of our current list of 39, which ones are making the most impact? Is this yet again a mechanic that speaks louder to a specific ops bracket of player? We examine the level 50 impact, the level 40 impact, and then what it can do for level 30's and down. The differences are quite significant. Is this new feature mature? Or is there more to come. Let's break it down and discuss! Please share with your teams, sub to our channels, and ENJOY the show! Visit our website for links at www.talkingtrekstfc.online

S2 Ep 64Server 14: Conversation Amongst Grunts.... And Van

E

WARNING: EXPLICIT CONTENT - Foul Language Commanders, we were extremely fortunate the other night to have a few guests stop by for a conversation about Territory Capture, coalition style play, "stacking" and what this means, and how it impacts teams on the other end of your battle. We look at alliance, Factions United, and their current enemies, the League of Extraordinary Alliances, and find out what led to war, who said what, who did this, and why they did that. We sort through the finger pointing and the blame to look for a path forward. Can these two groups of players find a way to coexist? This is a fascinating listen into the politics and warfare of Server 14. Special thanks to our guests from both sides of the aisle, including Stove, Vandal and Boaz. Please subscribe to the channel, share with your teams, and ENJOY this bonus content from inside S14. How does your server stack up? Does anything sound familiar?

S2 Ep 52Picard Auction Complaints Plus Excellent Events Week!

Tonight we dive into the good and bad of the last several days. We began with the complaints and that segment was loud regarding the long term officer sourcing problem in the game coupled with the shallow depth of leaderboards for Ops 36+. However, we did actually come also to praise a SOLID week of events. Picard week plus the Officer Exchange Program offer some SIGNIFICANT value and true player choice, plus some CURRENT arc officer sourcing. Is Scopely experimenting with new plans for sourcing? We can hope, but also remain diligent on other officers, (Lorca, TOS) that are still on apparent lockdown. Plus, EXCLUSIVE info regarding the OEP Event store bundles, AND PICARD WEEK bundles. MUST HAVE info on this show, and we invite you to listen, share, and ENJOY the show! Please visit our website for links at www.talkingtrekstfc.online

NSFW!!!! NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN! BE WARNED, this is the raw podcast audio tape from sunday's show.

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.

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... All this and more on today's Arc ending show. What's the final grade? How does it compare to yours? Listen and find out! PLUS maybe a small little hint on how to spend the event store loot this week... Please subscribe, share with your team, and ENJOY the listen!

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.
