Talking Trek: Star Trek Fleet Command

Today we did our typical arclaunch Q&A based on the new arc with the new currency, new research, new cloaks, refits, and so much more! Get some answers to your questions here, plus hear about a new giveaway and your chance to WIN! 

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 ov...

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 th...

Tonight we tried to tackle too much. and time just didn't allow for all of it. But we did our best to give you the best overview we could of Trek or Treat, what will be required of the remaining events, and what we can expect to see for the rest of this week. 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 th...

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 Scopel...

DJz is traveling, so Bubba and Bg decided to run the show. Tonight they discuss some of the changes that have happened in the game recently and what they mean for the longer mechanics that need attention, such as officer sourcing and current arc earning of newer officers. Plus they open the floor for your questions and feedback, directly to the dev's in this round table episode of Talking Trek, wi...

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 m...

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 significantl...

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 OFFICE...

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...

What a great show we had this morning, and gosh, one of the most promising starts to an arc in STFC history! No time to write it all out! YOU JUST GOTTA LISTEN! Thanks to our guests this morning, and our audio engineer, Stevens Aaron for taking care of the studio taping! YA'LL ROCK!  Visit our website www.talkingtrekstfc.com for more info!

Tonight we started out by discussing all the varied reaction to DJz and company on the final grades for Arc 5. We quickly transitioned into the roadmap and started playing the what if game! A look back at previous roadmaps was done just to make sure we're not missing anything plus, HINTS were given for the upcoming October Arc. This was a fun show, as it always is when we can start imagining the f...

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...

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. This was a great show that really was quite diverse in its topics including, what could Scopely have done differently with TNG related content? How much loot did we get for a 5 month event store? What should you be doing with your loot? How hard was it to earn wit...

There's something wrong with them. Tonight we break down for you a SUPER WIDE variety of topics including in game equivalents to Troi, why Wesley Crusher feels like hes not getting you any results, WHERE WERE MY TICKETS FOR OEP!? and the love we all have for 96 hour mining SLB. Can't even begin to tell you all the items we touched on here. This show was a wild ride, and it starts with a salute to...

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...

DJz is out of town this weekend, but the show must go on! Bubba Joe and company keep Talking Trek on the air this Sunday evening as we discuss loot, event store purchases, and away team assignments. Plus tacos. Can't forget tacos. Enjoy the show!    EDITORS NOTE: a portion of this show was removed due to it's questionable content. We apologize for those who were exposed to this content before it w...

Ok community, so this podcast was an intro to Arc 5. So we did discuss a few arc related things in the beginning. A brief look at all the things that changed in this arc was discussed and reviewed. THEN we got in the beef. Trait XP and HOW to use it to your benefit. What is the strategy? Is there Strategy at all? Oh my, yes. This may be the most cerebral feature Scopely has ever released. And we'v...

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...

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...

In today's highly anticipated arc finale, we discuss our final grades and offer insights into what we all saw and felt during the arc. Rewards? Exocomps? F2P progression? Events? Nothing is off the table as we discuss perspectives from 30 to 50 and all points in between regarding TNG Arc 4. What was your final grade? See how it stacks up with the rest of our panelists as we issue Scopely their fin...

Commanders! Welcome to the show! Today, we throw away ALL formats, abandon ALL fluff, and dive straight into urgent business at hand. Borg. Why did the community hate it? Did it deserve it? Why does Scopely continually mishandle one of ST's most prominent features? And CAN it be improved? Tonight's debate pulled the curtain back on the true mechanics, the true intents, and how YOU can avoid the co...

Today, we pushed the grading of our arc til Sunday, but decided to dive into a newer player's experience within the game today. Have questions? This was the show for you! We discuss new players in their teens and 20's and how things like Cosmic Cleanup, Exocomps, and Meridian are vastly more valuable to these players, and why some players are really digging the new mechanics of the game. Plus, hin...

Hey commanders! Today, apologies. another YouTube simulcast, but what we did today was discuss and show off the brand new pc mod for STFC. Our community genius, criminal ripper has fixed bug after bug and created graphical ui heaven in our beloved game for those of you who have downloaded this game on PC. What does it have in store for you? Come check it out! Be aware, many visual elements of this...

Hey Commanders, tonight the show conversation continued with Techman16 of Trek Talk with Tech and Kirk (a GREAT podcast) that focuses specifically on drama of ROE conflicts across various servers. Techman started a conversation about Server 34 and DJz found correlations with Server 15. We dive into some of these reasons for war, and discuss how much leeway alliances should have in declaring war on...
