Talking Trek: Star Trek Fleet Command

Tonight, a deep discussion on the breakdown of the new Weyoun sourcing(?) event occurred and it was surprising how much disparity there was in the feedback. What some players loved turned other players off in a way that is growing more consistent it would seem over the last few months. Is monetization getting in the way of fun? On the other hand, minus a few modifications, some players did enjoy t...

Tonight we break into the November arc and with it the introduction of the Defiant, one of the most famous starships outside of the Enterprise. How did this ship introduce into the game and who benefits most from it initially? What are the ships expectations, and where does the ship eventually provide players benefit? Are there problems with scaling? and whats my free to play path? All this and mo...

Join DJz, Ripper, Bubba, Aaron, and President Eco as we discuss some of the new items coming this month, how they're different than prior content, and even some NON arc related action items in this information filled episode of Talking in Carz!  Visit us online at www. UltimatDJzPlayz.com for more

Tonight took a fevered pitch as PVE players clashed with PVP players over the results of the latest run of incursions. What all players DID agree on wa that the event had problems. However, WHAT those problems were depended on the players perspective and chosen style of gameplay. Does incursions need a PVE element? And if so, how do you make it so traffic collides at some point instead of complete...

Hide yo kids, hide yo husbands, cause franklins be coming up in here!  Incursions return with a NEW event, and a new event mechanic that is driving SOME players up the wall! Let's break down what the US and APAC servers get to look forward to as the EU players test out the new event mechanics and report in! Plus, incursion REWARDS are new this time as they've added in the Mantis and BST officer sh...

Today was a less busy day on Talking Trek as we are in between the arcs, but we did see a new version of the Halloween events come up. Were they as sweet as years past? Plus Bubba revisits the Bajoran loop and explains why he has no regrets. And finally, now we all know, it's actually Bubba Joe that writes the stupid news..... IT ALL MAKES SENSE! Visit us online at www. UltimatDJzPlayz.com for mor...

So maybe there was something in the drinking water up on the mountain today cause DJz was fiesty. So fiesty that we chargrilled some Eco while demonstrating that the frustration surrounding this arc was so palpable it could be cut with a chainsaw, ANNNND he made Bubba Jo mad. Why is he so mad? Cause SCOPELY!  On the brigher side today, we meet our NEWEST member of the Scopely Community team and it...

Another long show, cause.... why? Who knows, but we did have some interesting conversation about Incursions and what can be done to spice those up, BESIDES offering mantis bps and strike team shards. Plus, our teaching for the night comes in the form of Bajoran favor paths. There's A LOT to do in this faction. If you're a f2p or low spend, what's the proper order in which to obtain the favors? Let...

Tonight we jump around a bit from basic announcements, to conspiracy theories (#KiraIsTheSpy) to a deep convo about heroic events as compared to SLB's. In the last 10 minutes you get a super secret special surprise related to Espionage, and somewhere in there we also broke down the cultural significance of the "Ninja Rap."  Enjoy the show! Visit us online at www. UltimatDJzPlayz.com for links to o...

Tonight was a great show to discuss some of the bug updates/reports from the last few days, and get players up to speed there. PS, there's a client update as of the time of taping so go check and download that to fix some of the issues. Also we had Eco on to talk about SOME of the missteps this month and some of the new things Scopely is trying, while we patiently wait for changes to come. Also, b...

First, be warned, there is some language in here that i couldn't find to clean it out. If you find a dirty word, please pm me a time stamp and i'll fix it first thing tomorrow. thanks for being my beta testers HAHA Today's show is one out of frustration, and confusion for scopely's latest method of 'sourcing' for a new officer into the game. Several pieces are brought forward as debate topics and...

Today, we were humbled to host two shadowy figures within the community and bring some light to the feature this month. From Game Design headquarters, we welcomed Designer Dunsel and MisterTiger, who were responsible for building the new faction, loop, hostiles, and armadas. What is the design intent? What is working as intended and not so much? And what are they watching for as players feel their...

Let's get into DS9 with technical updates, bug updates, mechanics and a first glance at how this month looks with regards to our progression in the DS9 story! Special appearance by President Eco Visit us online at www.ultimatdjzplayz.com  

Today was a super nerdy and analytical version of the show where we catch up on a few things that we've been meaning to discuss this month, including WHAT the refinery update actually did and how it is valued across the ops levels, AND getting to our discussion about rare tactical cores, which is a new kind of goal post now that Carmadas are using some of our directives. Plus a hint towards Octobe...

Today, one of the last things Scopely has NEVER sold (or have they?) went on sale. Rep bundle packs but their launch, like everything else this month, did not go as planned. As a result, players got the best buy 1 get 10 free sale ever on record. PLUS we take a look back on the roughest month of the year as we grade this introductory DS9 arc. Was it as bad as everyone says? ORRRR are there a few s...

Today's show comes hot off the emotional high that was Saturday's event launch disaster. First Sisko was pulled, then he was offered again later, but without synergy, miles, OR a paired sms in a different type of spend event.... Could the outcome have been better? Does this actually benefit SOME players? Why was the change a problem in the first place? All this is discussed THEN we talk about WHY...

Tonight what was supposed to be a short show turned marathon when discussing the intricacies of the Alliance Starbase feature and all the obvious, and not so obvious benefits of this loop. What should NON commodores/admirals be doing? and what is in it for them? And are f2p enjoying this loop more than just about anything this entire year? WHY? All this and more, PLUS an update on Bubba's and Tr8r...

Today's show had a lot of content as we begin with a walk down memory lane and reminds you guys about Liam, our brave little warrior from a year ago. We also meet a new young man today, Bryce, and we're reminded how trivial this game can be sometimes. BUT, that won't stop us from complaining about the calendar changes this week. Plus NEW info on Espionage, and insight into the ASB loop. All this a...

Tonight folks, we get into some super nerdy science math that eventually, after hours of testing, points to a simple, and common occurrence.... the Harvester is bugged.... BUUUUT not in a way that necessarily HURTS players, but definitely DOES NOT do anything to help with the clarity of the new ASB or it's mechanics. Let's talk about WHAT'S VALUABLE about the ASB, and what's the most valuable as y...

Today's show is one that's relatively rare. Not many instances in the past has Talking Trek actually broken LIVE ACTION news that is so pressing, that we abandon all of our typical show elements to bring you the hard hitting facts LIVE and as they happen. But today was one of those days.... Talking Trek dives into the decision made by scopely today regarding a very long standing mechanic, the Gree...

Here's what we know. it ain't much, BUT we can share some info, and thank President Eco for stopping by to keep us updated on the Emergency Maintenance that's occurring this morning. Take a listen! 

Today's show contained some INCREDIBLE debate and discussion over many of the major points of this arc, from the materials refinery, to the Mantis PVE loop and the Mantis PVP abilities, to the new Strike Team officers, and the overall PvP "meta" of this game. Then ultimately, we pass final judgement, and it may surprise some folks. PLUS a hint towards the September launch of DS9. All this and more...

Tonight's show was extended and conversations on Strike Team, Mantis, Event Store loot and what to buy, as well as things to come all commanded an appearance today on our show. Details aren't important.... Enjoy the show ;)  Visit us online at www. UltimatDJzPlayz.com for links to our other socials and platforms. 

Of course we're talking about the length of the show.... or the pace of progression, or the scaling back of progression time through an earlier loop, or the event store? There have been many reasons to be fussy with this arc, but it's TURNING out to be one of the better ones in terms of pivot, reaction, and feedback based change. What is the final projected loot count? What is the hard math on Syn...

Tonight's show went from silly, to DEEP math, to silly, to fresh perspective, to disney, to marvel, to late night deliriousnessnessness. It's 1am. Dont' expect me to write anything soul stirring and provocative. Enjoy the show and LEARN in this episode, be it now or within 3 months, HOW to use this Mantis at it's early tiers effectively and as rewarding as possible.  Please visit our website at ww...
