S2 Ep 98Campfire Songs, S‘mores, and Khan Shards
The nailbiter month of October has raised questions for MANY players throughout their 30's levels. The new question, WHERE to camp and hoard, vs where to spend? This conversation dominated today as we spent some dissecting the 20's, and 30's, for ideal camping zones. Plus we discuss downtime between the arcs, and recap all of the hints we've provided so far, PLUS provide 2 new ones! And DJ gags over spiders. All this and more on today's fun filled adventure with Talking Trek! Visit our website at www.talkingtrekstfc.com!
S2 Ep 97Was Borg Better This Time? 4 Things You May Have Missed
Happy Halloween! Always fun to be with you on air for a holiday! Tonight we briefly wrapped up on Trek or Treat, and discussed the snafu with the Ghost Hunter event regarding tetryons and feasibility. We quickly transitioned into Borg, and while LOTS of players find this an unpopular opinion, DJz actually found this event better than August's version. More importantly, 4 changes were identified that Scopely ACTUALLY modified, and most players didn't notice. We break down the roadmap again for players who missed the August episode, give you the ideal crews to use depending on the capabilities of your vidar, and talk about the future implications of the megacube events. Plus there was definitely some halloween talk, and DJz eats too many butterfingers, and may or may not have vomited live on the air. No, we didn't cut that out. Please share the show with your team IN TIME FOR Monday's Armada event, sub to our channels, and most of all, ENJOY the show! Please visit our website at www.talkingtrekstfc.com

IMPORTANT INFO for day 5 of the events contained within the first 30 minutes! PLUS we take a hard look at some of the biggest features of the month, including G5 introductions, officer sourcing mechanics, and cloaking! What was good?

S2 Ep 95Wildly Successful Duality Wraps Up; Is it Repeatable?
Tonight, DJz is wrapping up a week of traveling and decides to join the community from the road. We discuss the Duality wrap up and what went well this month, which was nearly everything! We discuss the modifications to G5 space, and the latest change on Ultra Recruits and Transporter Patterns. Then when everyone is feeling giddy from all the celebration (and wine) then we get real. How can Scopely POSSIBLY hope to repeat this in the future? What can they do to ensure success? How can players be involved month after month with this new auction replacement mechanic, and does further testing need to happen? Listen in on this great back and forth conversation on Duality!

S2 Ep 93Be Still My Borgified Heart
Feedback regarding week 1's version of Heart of Stonn was heard by Scopely. But was the reiteration worse? Tonight we dive into the changes, the thought process BEHIND those changes, and what it means for the community moving into the future. We talk about hoarding mechanics, and how much it should OR should NOT affect your progression. Finally, we REEXAMINE our path to 4 of 10, and WHAT it will mean for players if they CANNOT finish their ultra recruit event this weekend. Is there still a path? Maybe so!

S2 Ep 92Community Suffers Sticker Shock.... But Are These SMS Bad?
There were some clear break points in satisfaction with these SMS. For example, MOST players Ops 39 and down are THRILLED with the opportunity at a full unlock WITHOUT having to dump millions of points into an auction where they could be sniped at the last second. Players in the upper 40's view it as a sign of relief, almost a "discount" of sorts, because their auction prices would go significantly higher than Scopely is asking them to pay. However, players in the low to mid 40's, are feeling the pressure as common material walls, and the NEW adjustment for them from G3 to G4 is still in the early stages. Facts are, players control their own destiny. An officer has a clear and defined objective price to unlock. And unlike an auction, you know where your spend gets you. Despite early rabble about high milestones, upon calm reflection, perhaps this isn't all bad? DJz sits back and let's the community duke this one out as we turn to each corner, and find F2P wildly in favor of this mechanic, and light spenders feeling the impossible. This is a great listen and some great insight into what other players face on a monthly basis with upgrades and materials spend. Please share with your team, sub to our channes, and most importantly, ENJOY the listen! Visit our website at www.talkingtrekstfc.com
S2 Ep 91Holy Son of Mogh Batman! Look At Those Milestones!
Tonight on the show, we break down what we NOW know about the path to Worf. It's not quite as easy as we had hoped it would be, but there's still a path. Enough bonus shards have also been given for you to be able to potentially SKIP a milestone in a future event, especially if the material spend was high enough to give some players fits. Value wise, does the event make sense? Plus, WHAT IS OFFICER POWER? An event was modified over the weekend due to a technical glitch, but even then, players misunderstood the actual mechanic of officer power. We will break that down for you and give you some math on WHY XP was the least effective form of scoring in this weekends power events. All this and much more! Please share with your team, sub to our channels, and ENJOY the show! Visit our website at talkingtrekstfc.com for more info!
S2 Ep 90Duality Arc Launch Smooth as Silk? Early G5 Reaction
Today was the most excited some players have been in over a year. The introduction of G5 finally arrived and despite most players not getting there for a very long time if ever, it was exciting to see what's over the horizon. Plus, the arc itself launched with so much positivity, it was a joyous day. From officer sourcing, to photon tokens, to simplicity with events, players are feeling very happy with this new season. Let's break it all down and hear from the players! Please share with your team, subscribe to our channels, and ENJOY the listen! Visit our website for more information at www.talkingtrekstfc.com!

S2 Ep 87TNG Arc 5 Final Grades Released!!!
Karkun said it best when he said that the EXPECTATION of this arc was huge, and we may have felt that the community was going to negatively respond to our calls for a final grade. However, what we discovered was that there were two CLEAR sides of this arc, and some players responded very positively, while others were totally 100% disappointed. The pros and cons were discussed and DJz and crew find themselves ALSO split into two sides as final grades are doled out. This is a wild and emotional and passionate listen, and we invite you along for the ride! Please share with your teams, subscribe to our channels, and most importantly, ENJOY the show!

Today was the final day of the 5th month of TNG. And all the feedback, criticism, regrets, and next-to-dos came pouring onto our stage.

S2 Ep 84Is ATA 2.0 a Locked Mechanic for September? Plus KMA Bot GOES LIVE!
Most people can agree. Scopely design team got this one right. ATA 2.0 is beautifully designed and stimulates strategy and thought when considering how to play this new PASSIVE feature, without requiring loads of extra screentime. HOWEVER, has Scopely's monetization team/accountants gotten in the way AGAIN of a beautiful feature? Trait XP seems to be trickling in, even though it takes MILLIONS to maximize your opportunity, and AT LEAST hundreds of thousands if you focused in on one or two assignments. ALSO on today's show, TheLooter comes by to discuss the BRAND NEW Kelvin Memorial Archive tools that are now live and how they work to the benefit of the community. PLUS we discuss Troi, and other officer opportunities in the Event Store and what you should be considering when purchasing with your event store loot.

Congratulations. ConGRATUUUUUUU-LATIONS Scopely, on your fastest EVER hotpatch deployment. Almost like it was ready to go... Almost like you KNEW this was a bad idea, but mehhhhh, DO IT ANYWAY! An angry group of rioters discuss Chen this morning, then we move on to Traits, which shoulda been fun to talk about, but ya know, ruined days tend to occur when you do one thing so horribly wrong that it overshadows all the good you tried to do. We did get into Traits, how to use em. Their math and the officers that have at least one of the 57 characteristics in the game that will boost your ATA Crit chance as high as 100%. Sound too good to be true? Well, it's not, BUTTT, it will be a challenge to get it there. Let's talk about that, AND the new borg mining queen, three of ten. All this and more. Get your megaphones ready, this one is ranty. Please visit us on ourwebsite at talkingtrekstfc.com
S2 Ep 80STFC‘s What If? Community Provides Scopely Their NEXT Roadmap
Tonight was a dreamers episode. Our hints have pointed towards Scopely revisiting a previous feature to improve it. What could it be? TC dominated the conversation, but other features worked their way into the conversation including Borg and the Megacube, Exocomps, Stella, and even Ship Skins. What improvements can Scopely work into their game that are actually community driven? This is an episode all about imagination to improve our game in ways we want to see it. This is actually a fascinating listen with feedback points from a wide variety of ops levels, and we invite you, AND scopely, to take a good hard listen.

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

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

Sorry to the community for flying off in 45 different directions on 32 different occasions. And sorry to Wil Wheaton, who probably wouldn't dream of coming on the show if this was the first one he'd ever listened to!
