Talking Trek: Star Trek Fleet Command

Good evening commanders! Today we unveil the new PC version of STFC. We examine what it looks like and how it compares to current emulators like Bluestacks 5, and what is new in the client. Also we show off a little modding that we've done and how the landscape can be changed with this latest client. All areas of the client are explored and lots of visual elements exist within this broadcast. We i...

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 i...

Tonight was one of those rare evenings that the show must go on. Tonight enjoy a chilled out relaxed convo with updates on our new service animal, sylvie, and what she's capable of doing, plus a convo on Spot, Brent Spiner, and FINALLY get into some armada conversation. What is needed within the armada mechanic? DJz has an unpopular opinion.  A good listen if you're just wanting to chill with frie...

WELCOME BACK commanders! Been too long! A whole week in fact, and we didn't hold back today. Conversations varied across multiple topics as we discussed the latest inflation, and what its doing for newer servers. Plus, are ticketed events a better value this month? WHAT IS ScopelyID and what does it do..... and what could it mean? Plus, we still have 2 Realta PVP events on the calendar, and we're...

Hey Commanders! Fun show today as we kinda dive into how the Exocomps are working and what we've learned mechanically so far! Plus what is wrong with Worf? Besides everything?

Welcome to TNG Arc 4 Launch Day! Today in our Talking in Carz episode, we discuss some of the new things we received today, including some QoL improvements, two new officers, and the introduction of the Exocomps Consumable Buffs. How does it work? Let's get a high level overview and answer some questions!  Visit our website at www.talkingtrekstfc.online  

In this somewhat relaxed and discombobulated Talking in Carz episode, we focus on HOW things work in this game? What primes are worth it? Why are primes not free? Should they be? When? What do they do? Let's look at ship skins... Are these worth the money? How do you calculate research or efficiency bonuses in the game? All these questions are answered plus a sneak peak into Arc 4. All this and so...

As expected, this episode draws tons of attention as it's the players last chance for that arc to voice concerns, frustrations, and praise for what was received during the arc. Your panel of dedicated players included BubbaJoe, BgCountry, Ripper, TruckinChick and DJz all providing a final grade on what MAY have been one of the better arcs of all time. What were the fails? What were the great momen...

Commanders, tonight's show is JAM packed with info about Riker, and EXACTLY when and how to use him against select targets. We mathematically go over his break even point as compared to 5of10 and 6of10 and even present his subtle, if not MORE valuable ability. Plus, we spin off on 7 tangents as we go. Also in this show is a breakdown of a very nice, yet, seemingly UNNOTICED change by Scopely in th...

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...

Hey Commanders! This show touched on several topics including how Riker week matched up to Picard week, and acquisition of this officer during the arc. Is Scopely on to something good for IN ARC sourcing? Plus now that players are unlocking him, HOW good is he? Is this a new primary armada crew? OR is he MORE valuable in hostile grinding? All this and more as we dive into the latest epic to hit th...

Welcome back to the warm and cozy studio where we hung out Wednesday afternoon! We welcome Ripper to the stage to talk about his new web based database project and how the community will be able to use it and continue to develop it over time. Plus we looked hard at this arc, events, mining, sourcing of shards, and "Riker Weak" as it's being dubbed. Finally, the actual teaching section of the show...

Here is more of DJz epically long drive captured on tape.... Did we stray? deviate? get lost? absolutely. And it was a ton of fun along the way. Hear the conclusion of an insanely long conversation while we drove miles and miles and miles together.  Visit our website at www.talkingtrekstfc.online for more show info! 

So today, we weren't even really planning a podcast, as we did a YouTube stream a bit earlier ( https://youtu.be/seWBs3pHA30 ) in the day, and decided to just get online and hang out in voice. But of course, the tapes are always rolling, and this turned out to be a marathon community session with ALLLLLL SORTS of topics being discussed. Is there a theme? Not really.... Is there something in this f...

Hello commanders! Today we dive into our first show since arcfall, and discuss some of the new goodies we got. Several quality of life improvements were introduced as well as a new ship! What are the pros and cons of the Meridian? What events will be tied to this new ship? How can you complete new research? And what if you're missing the ATA for TNG? Plus community genius Ripper makes a huge annou...

Good morning Star Trekkers! For those that missed our Arc Introductory talk this morning on TNG Arc 3, you can find it here and now!

Happy Independence Day to the US, Happy Treason Day to the EU, and Happy Sunday to the rest of the world! On today's fourth of July special, we abbreviated this show to a quick discussion on the Faction Hunt replacement that ran, plus spent a fair amount of time on mining speeds, ship formulas, officer impacts, and protected cargo officers. What should be used when? What ships to officers have the...

Today's show was a great synopsis from multiple player styles all converging on this arc. Players submitted final grades from fails to A+. Why was there such a range in player satisfaction? We address auctions, to sourcing, to pvp, to event load and have a great conversation. Plus, of course, it's second nature by now! Between the arcs, hints are given, and today is no exception. What is coming ne...

WELCOME BACK TALKING TREKKERS! Vacation is over and it's back to the grind. We return to the studio today for a show to catch up on the past week and prepare to end the arc. Highlighting the show are armada spawn rates, and how they were designed for this arc and this final event, plus the Friendly Fire and Faction Wars pvp/pve events that occurred last week. Were they amazing? Or did they fail th...

on todays episode bg country yet again fills the hosting duties as DJz is on vacation. Tonights discussion centered around all the different cultures contained within STFC. Some servers like it ruff, and others are content to purr, meow occasionally, and play with balls of yarn. One thing is for certain though, server mergers are messing with the galaxy's balance. How does your server play? What o...

DJz is on vacation this week, so bg and stevensaaron stepped up to put together a show for ya! Enjoy a rare opportunity at a one on one question and answer session with a level 50 bro.  visit our website for all links related to Talking Trek, www.talkingtrekstfc.online  

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...

Hey folks! Everyone has a rough day now and then. lol I wasn't happy with how the pod went today, but as I was cutting it to pieces, I thought, to hell with it. So I undid everything and uploaded the entire file. We'll come back Sunday and get back to good. Sorry to SnakeEyes for a 3 hour show. Sorry to the community for flying off in 45 different directions on 32 different occasions. And sorry to...

Quick! Name three things that are garbage! 1.) "ummm, projectiles with no buffs...."   2.) "no skin sourcing again this month"  and uhhhhhhh OH OH 3.) "a wesley crusher card that's as bad as anything in the game, ever"  WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!  Ok silliness aside, here's your routine monthly podcast based on the arc, and what has just launched. Let's take a listen, shallllllll weeeee?  pleas...
