Talking Trek: Star Trek Fleet Command

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...

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...

On Today's episode, we dive into the EVER changing reality that is Away Teams Assignments. As you progress, your needs actually change, FORCING your strategy to change! What was the straw that broke the camels back for UltimatDJz this week? How is Bubba's ATA progressing? Is BgCountry DONE with the tree? SHOULD you use major officers? All this is address, AND how it pertains to your pvp/pve ship c...

Shorter show today determined by downtime between the arcs, and a sinus headache from hell haha but none the less, we have a spirited conversation on final grades for the first arc of the legendary Next Generation cast, and explore in detail some of the finer issues with Away Teams Assignments. A sneak peek is given in the form of one of our hardest clues ever, (core to come, don't worry), and a l...

NSFW!!!! NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN! BE WARNED, this is the raw podcast audio tape from sunday's show. It does contain the pieces of the show that were uploaded, and many many many pieces that were cut. At the end, we crash Rev Deuce's show, and somewhere near Haven breaking our hearts, we cut the tape. There's no natural ending. No processing. No filter. Just a raw example of what CAN sometimes ha...

Hey Commanders, it's a lazy Sunday night and DJz may have things on his mind other than STFC. Like, legal fees and rules to Little League Softball. BUT we did eventually find our groove and go into a bit of detail imagining what TNG content comes next, PLUS looking back at the pros and cons from this arc and isolating some trouble spots before we issue our final grade on this arc. Please subscribe...

JAM PACKED show today despite technical difficulties from Discord, but we got the info out there! Official communications from Scopely on Rare Tickets, future uses, Transporter Store updates and the Special Star Chart in your Battlepass. We also provide an update on the upcoming events, how to get your TNG keys, and how to use the new TNG officers, PLUS how to best utilize the latest Transporter S...

Hey Commanders! Today's show was very intuitive, as multiple players from multiple spending paths joined together to share their opinions of Rare Ticketed Events. Was the sentiment as poor as one might think? Plus, where is the line between what SHOULD be pay entry (rare) and what should be available to all f2p? Did Scopely actually get this one right? Plus, HOW should you be using your Rare ticke...

Hey Commanders, and welcome to yet another monthly State of the Game call with our newest beloved CM, Ares. He discussed his plans for the hype train prior to the TNG launch and how that may or may not have gone exactly according to plan! He also shared with us some insights into Scopely's look and design at Away Team Assignments and spoke back and forth with the community regarding Territory Capt...

Hey Commanders! GREAT show planned for ya including an actual mathematical strategy at MAXIMIZING your ATA Speedups since they clearly appear to the be gateway for this new research. Plus how do we maximize the rewards FROM using the speedups? Then, uncommon ticketed events are back and we do a quick check of their payouts, and compare to the rare tickets. Which are the better value? Plus, a few u...

Wow what a day! The Next Generation has made it into the game, and deployment was remarkably smooth! We discuss Away Teams Research, the important ones and the meh ones. Plus we break into the TRUE intent of Away Teams Assignments. What are their worth, and HOW MUCH time and how many officers, should you be investing into this new expansion? Plus, let's take a close look at the math and the mechan...

TNG Is here! And here's what we know so far! Get your info here for everything related to the new crews, new research tree, new events, and much much more!

Haply Mothers Day! Todays show was live from the road as DJz traveled to see his own mother. That didn't as stop us from theory crafting and comparing all the references we've seen so far. What do they mean? And regardless of what is coming, what is EXPECTED in terms of deployment and quality? All this and more on todays taping! 

Today's show fully wrapped up the Absolution Arc, including high points, low points, and final grades from key members of the team and community. Some of Scopely's missteps were identified, but also some of their high points were praised. Then there was Borg................... We discussed the economy of the Vidar and Stella skins and how they differ and compare, as well as touched on the new Plas...

Today, the real world kept DJz away from the studio, but Bg Country, trusty right hand man and ever faithful cohost, decided to take the reigns and was brazen enough to skip the Stupid News. But he did gauge feedback, offer insight, and even a VERY special helpful hint to those unlocking Jaylah this week. Plus DJz drops in from the car ride home as we're giving Pass/Fail grades to the month of Apr...

GOOOOD EVENING! Tonight we begin with the actual recording of a real phone call.... yes, the wires were tapped, and we bring you the audio footage as it happened.  Then we get to business. Borg 2021, and how it was received and HOW a simple small change could have made everything better. Plus Swarm is coming up and we give you a brief event guide into how to prepare and what you need to be ready t...

Hey Commanders! On today's episode we broke down the last week's worth of events and recognize the "hard line" in the sand for some players who were not "thought" of during the planning process of this arc. Not only now with the Vidar, but in week 1 with the Franklin-A. Analysis is underway in what happened, what feedback went up, and how Scopely responded to a number of issues this week. Some of...

In today's show we recap the last week, and acknowledge some of the good Scopely did with our feedback. It wasn't perfect, but it went a long way and was a clear indication that they're listening. We also look back and reflect upon the days of endless muddmadas, and how the stella refit leaderboard played out, and what we predict for the vidar refit event. Plus we got a sneak peak into the next fe...

Welcome back to the show commanders! After a few days of fresh air and recharging we came back to a WONDERFUL show. Good conversation on the events and sentiment of the first part of this arc (still negative) but also getting back to our core mission, which is game education and teaching. During the second segment of the show we discuss IN DETAIL, including LIVE on air testing, how to crew for the...

Hey galaxy, last night's episode was part 2 of 2 in a series that began Saturday Night on YouTube.
