Talking Trek: Star Trek Fleet Command

This feature brings with it some interesting new features, loops, and confusion. Listen as Emperor Eco answers some questions,and Bubba and DJz break down the value of new officers this month! 

Tonight we get insight from the creator of the Voyager loop, Game Design's Mister Tiger to talk about what went right and what went wrong with the Voyager mechanics and how Game Design is looking to interpret the results and make possible changes. Then we break down the interview and hear from the players on what's needed to make the Voyager loop satisfying and sustainable. Listen now for this won...

Tonight was our first show back in a week and we had a lot to discuss including how the Voyager Refinery changes MAY have changed the loop for some, but how Game Design MAYYYY have intended another piece of this loop will remain the same for now. Why? PLUS Janeway continues to prove her worth at various spots throughout the galaxy, but is the price of admission too high? Or is the "open door polic...

Tonight we begin by discussing Janeway and how she's working now that she's out into the game. Is this an officer you want? And why? Plus a deep dive into the Voyager mechanic and pitfalls that we've found along the way. Did Scopely intentionally put these pitfalls into the loop? Is there a choice to be had? What should players be doing here at the early stages with regards to the voyager loop? Al...

Today was a longer show, only because of the intense amount of content that was introduced this month as a part of Voyager Part 2. We dive into the complicated multi step mechanic that is Voyager, Hirogen, and Species 8472, and what the actual outcome is. What is Isolytic Damage and is it relevant in the game today? What about tomorrow? Is Voyager something worth investing in? What is the F2p sour...

President Eco stops by this morning to answer questions about one of the biggest battle impact items in ages; Isolytic Damage. What is it? How does it work? What does Voyager have to do with any of it? Let's explore the beginning of the next month of events from STFC in today's Talking in Carz with DJz!

Tonight we talk about the successes and failures of the most recent run of Incursions. Were there improvements? What went wrong? And have the rewards structures been modified to stack for the winners? Then we step into the Talking Trek Laboratory to meet with JulesVern and BlueMandalorian to discuss new mechanics for scrapping in G4 thanks to new Artifacts, Fleet Commanders, and Tiered Primes. Is...

Today was a quicker show cause of how full the day was in meetings and 'stuff' we had to do today, but we did hit it hard and fast. What is DJz crazy brain cooking up now? Gul Dukat sourcing? SAY IT AIN'T SO! But is there a place for it? Also we discuss the upcoming run of incursions, issue final ratings on what SEEMS to be a highly satisfying arc per YOU, community! Where do you fall with your se...

Voyager Part 1 brought with it some significant new game mechanics and changes to economy, strategy and teamwork. Was it a successful arc? It seems like most players saw some substantial improvement in their game play while others grew more frustrated with what feels like recycled/rehashed content. Where do you fall? What movement did you make this month? Let's look at just a few of these moving p...

Today was allllll about the new primes. But instead of reacting emotionally to it today, we decide to step back and look at the math. Are they good? Is this game impacting? Is it a fix to the G5 economy and what else may come as a result? All this and more today on the show!

Tonight we start on a high note with the EMH's recent weekend auction adding 4 more milestones to the Heroic SMS and offering up BIG TIME shard counts, but for a heavy heavy investment. Is this FINALLY the right model? Plus the new Multi Tier primes have GREAT net effects... but are they worth the money? Let's examine their perception and what they're doing early, vs late.  Visit us online at www....

This episode was action packed from a discussion around what is new in the Artifact Gallery and what it means for players, PLUS a deep dive into HOW to get the SPECIFIC artifacts you want, as well as how to score in not one, but TWO of the currently running events as a f2p. What is giving the best points? What is giving points that you didn't even KNOW was giving points? Tune in for some easy peas...

The Voyager arc has arrived and with it a pretty expansive new feature. Some players are liking it, and others are finding it to be a headache not worth the hassle. What are the ACTUAL benefits of these new artifacts and how do they present in the game? How do we earn them? Is this feature TOO drawn out? Listen to an expert analysis on the math, the mechanics, and the meta that is STFC's newest lo...

Let's break down what we see initially and some of the questions we have about these new targets. 

Tonight we jump all over the map as if we haven't spoken in weeks about the game. So it all came bubbling out. We began with incursions and the new beta testing that Scopely ran and what we learned. What does it still take to fix? There are ideas around that, plus the event store month, legacy pt 2 comes to a close. How did players react? Did scopely miss an opportunity to do something REALLY mino...

Here we go... let's try to get back into the swing of things. a quick recap on where i've been, what i'm doing, how LA was, and the month of April, all rolled into an unprofessional, NON produced 2 hour show.... Come hang for some candid conversation and let's catch up! Visit us online at www. UltimatDJzPlayz.com for more links

Bubba continues his hosting duties for the second of 3 shows while the crew is preparing for their travels to LA this week!

DJz is on a mental health break so Bubba, Tr8r, Eirian, Aaron and the rest of the cast get together for some silliness. 

Today we spent WAYYY too much time on the Titan, what it does, how it works, and what it's target audience may be. Is this a ship that Scopely EXPECTED players to buy in droves? Or is this an actual step towards future proofing Fleet Commanders? Let's dive into the numbers.  Visit us online at www. TalkingTrekSTFC.com  

President Eco stops by to discuss Legacy Pt2 and what it contains and some of the insight into some of the features and buffs that were introduced this month. 

Today's show dives deeply into the mechanics of how strike team captains work, and what their tangible benefit is as you tier them up. Why now? Well, the XSLB saw many players spend a great deal only to find no benefit in a tierup of Weyoun. WHY? Plus final ratings and discussion on the March Arc. Were players "satisfied?" Wrap up a great show with a hint towards April and listen to Ripper giggle....

Today on the show President Eco stopped by to deliver good news to players affected by the iOS lockout bug last month, and then compensation was discussed. Beyond that, we talk about the new rare Beverly Crusher card and how she's been corrected, and how she works. Then we'll transition into what her intent is, and HOW to maximize the parts that you can obtain while grinding! Plus Mrs DJz stops by...

Today, what I expected to be a 15-20 minute educational segment on HOW to participate in the new webstore version of the recruiting event turned into a hotly debated subject that surprised EACH side of the arguing cast. Is the event easy? Is it rewarding? Is it WORTH it? PLUS Bubba drags DJz back down into the Tal rabbit hole for another rant on Scopely latest design failure. AND to wrap up, Bubba...

Tonight's show had two distinct areas of focus, but both of them asked the same question, "Is xxx Worth It?" The first topic was Admiral Picard, this months epic officer. Use cases were presented and ways to use him INSIDE of existing PVP crews were discussed. Can he make a difference to you? There are a lot of variables, but whatever you decide, do it quickly. He's got one chance left at bulk sha...

Tonight was a laid back day in which we discussed this new "play at your own pace" weekend schedule and what happened as a result. Good idea, combined with poor implementation, HOWEVER, an idea which has tons of promise and should absolutely return imo! Plus I'M SORRY, but there may be a Picard Season 3 spoiler towards the end of the show. You'll hear it approach, and if you don't want it, you sho...
