Talking Trek: Star Trek Fleet Command

the first segment today is relatively positive pointing out and highlighting some of the changes that were made and not put into the patch notes, and other improvements and fixes that DID ultimately come, though they didn't claim them. There's some good stuff here on Mantis space as well as Espionage. But segment 2 takes a turn down a dark path as we begin talking about Assaults and what it will m...

ASB PVP is here..... but don't stress too much, it's also an Event store month, and Espionage will wrap up with some big rewards too. Let's talk about some of the features, bug fixes, and officers on tap for this, the final month of the year, AND of the DS arc series. 

Every year Talking Trek gives back to where our community needs it most and this year, a member of our community highlighted a group of people who have been through something traumatic.... Tonight, Talking Trek discusses how the fundraiser happened, who is receiving your funds this year, and who put it all together. Tonight, Talking Trek Gives Back.  You can give to the project if you wish by send...

Plus a hint towards December and mechanical updates for Espionage! Please share with your team and enjoy the listen Visit us online at www. UltimatDJzPlayz.com for links to our socials. 

Tonight we had a spirited debate on the 'etiquette' of accepting gifts as well as a ray of hope from CM BekLikesPlants regarding the remainder of the 4 day Anniversary Series. What would have been a more well rounded appreciated anniversary gift? Well, the player base SEEMED divided on this tonight as we break down what COULD have come, and what may still yet.  THEN we break into the USS Defiant a...

Today President Eco stops by with a ton of answers for the community on some of the biggest questions sourced by DJz and Rev Deuce. Some answers contain surprisingly good news and it was very nice to have him on the stage WITHOUT him leaving with two black eyes and a bloody nose. Join DJz and Rev as we simulcast and connect with Scopely through our beloved CM, President Eco.  After the break we to...

Tonight we take a look deeply at the math of the Armory building and if it's worth the squeeze. It's certainly a long path and one thing that we HAVE learned is that things up front typically look worse than they really are. That said, is this building WORTH waiting out? Or, do we need to spend on this out of the box? Plus, OliverDJz stops by and we touch on a dirty word.... "Incursions..."  All t...

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...
