Talking Trek: Star Trek Fleet Command

Today was a long day. And DJz was frustrated. NOT ONLY with Scopely, but with explaining how the new Franklin-A could possibly be frowned upon. Shilling aside, this is probably one of the best expansions Scopely has ever brought, so what is it that some players are seeing that has their smiles turned upside down. We dive in, and then get REALLY grumpy over the ticketed events and second researcher...

This morning we hosted the official Q&A from Discord and decided to roll tape and publish! Here ya go! All the questions we have from the moment of launch answered for ya here on The Ketchup Arc! Absolution, where we introduce Jaylah, the Franklin A, and the return of the Borg Megacube, plus much much more! Get your answers here!  Please visit our website at www.talkingtrekstfc.online!  

We were off to a slow start in 2021 getting our CM's on the show due to schedule limitations, but we are back on track today with a visit from CM's Panic and Ares to discuss the state of the game, mechanics that need overhauls, and feedback and reaction on the latest ToS Arc 3. Plus Panic gives some big news and the community reacts. The community provided their questions, and some of the answers...

Tonight, we issued our final synopsis on the Original Series Third Arc. A few positives were highlighted, but many negatives as we discussed the pros and cons of this arc. Mathematically speaking, how did this month compare to previous event stores? What about the previous run of ticketed events in February? Was it better or worse than Borg Arc 4, which is notorious for being the worst arc in the...

Today we had an interest conversation kinda spark our content. Flash back two years ago when Scopely had never released a calendar of events. No planning was possible, and players were left guessing what was coming next. This is PARTIALLY true today with specific events like the Battlepass POINTS events, but for the most part, arc related events have a calendar, the daily event rotations have a ca...

Tonight's show was a myriad of content topics, including the new Trivia event for Saint Patrick's Day, Server Mergers, Event store loot, and a bunch of other thingies. It was a fun show to hang out on that discussed a bunch of topics that just happened to come up! Plus a Community Q&A Blast, a spamit winner, and the return of Fake News or Florida! Plus we begin planning Oliver's birthday party! Al...

Folks, we throw some math at ya tonight. Get your nerd glasses on. There are lots of complaints about the PAYOUT of these events here in March. However, the amount of event store currency as compared to our highest event store ever (December) is actually higher.... BUT, at the sacrifice of rewards given by the ticketed events in February? How does it all math out? Count on the team at Talking Trek...

Hey folks! In today's show we were provided a task by the Scopely team! Take the current ticketed events, and suggest modifications. How do we as players wanna see this events balance between cost, reward, and effort. Well, the event reset has already come and passed, but WE SAW our modifications COME TO LIFE IN THE GAME! Thank you to the Scopely Ops team for hearing us and making the corrections....

Before a grueling day at work, we took time out to spell out the details of the new arc, and answer questions. It's been a long day. lol No energy for typing. Enjoy the listen Commanders. 

Folks, today's episode was not our normal produced studio rendition, but rather a more laid back relaxing country drive in the car. DJz was feeling slightly under the weather, so this is what we got today. But as most people have observed, sometimes, the best content comes in a relaxed laid back conversational manner. Today was no exception. Topics included the frequency of jellyfish auctions and...

Hello Star Trekkers! Today was kind of an exciting day! SpaceX experienced a (delayed) successful test flight and that inspired us to consider, "What If?" TOOOT TOOOOOOT! Let's pull into Imagination Station! What if things in the game were being reimagined and reiterated to present in a better way again in the future? What if ideas and mechanics of the game were redesigned to function properly? Wh...

Community, tonight was a typical late Sunday show. Which means DJ unhinged. We began by discussing the latest CLIENT issued bugs in the game over the last 3-7 weeks with the various client updates and what we plan to do about them. We discussed which ones made our top 10 list and how we need to see these cleaned up. Plus a bit of time spent on your questions, your theories, and your ideas regardin...

Hey Talking Trekkers! Today, we simulcasted the show on YouTube so we could show off some mechanics and battle logs, but the conversation translates well to our radio audience. Today we focused on the new TOS officers and whether or not they are able to be deemed "worthy" of our auction materials and resources. How do they work? Are they standing up against previous Enterprise crews? How do they w...

Hey Trekkers! Welcome to our latest episode where we chatted about several things, including DJ'z fear of flying.... gag. But into game related items, we dive into the MECHANICS of the pvp/pve hybrid event. Why were players messaging you that you hit them in a non pvp system, but it WAS a pvp system? Why were players flying INTO your pvp system anyway? Where were the bonus points? This was NOT com...

In yesterday's after party, taped LIVE after the podcast, we discussed a whole HOST of topics including Territory Capture lag, and potential fixes, and how it can shape the game's future. Plus we dive into reputation grinding both post 10 mil and pre 10 mil, and how it's changed in the last year. Is post 10 mil Dual Faction possible? Yes, but not for the faint of heart. Plus worms, best pve practi...

Hey Star Trekkers! Today's show went nothing at all as planned and we veered into a conversation that you guys drove. First up, to put to rest the concerns players had with the realta hull glitch and how it was temporarily patched. What will scopely do to prevent this in the future? Plus what should happen to the players who used it? Then we moved forward into examining the Valentine's Day event s...

Hey Star Trekkers! Today it was soooooo nice to get back into the studio with you guys! Thank you for putting up with my crazy schedule for the last 10 days, but we dove straight back into it like we always do! First up, a DETAILED analysis of the Ticketed Events. How to complete them, how to get the tickets, and what will be sourced for free! Plus we give you a few updates from the Dev team about...

Hey Galaxy! Welcome to the worst quality podcast you've ever heard.... as compared to our beautifully warm and gorgeous sounding studio podcasts. Today was an episode produced from the comfort of my 2018 Ford Focus, as we dive in, answer questions, and explain the ins and outs (so far) of Arc 2 of the Original Series. What pieces made it into the game, what parts of the maintenance are NOT arc rel...

Hey folks! Sorry for the quality today! Due to the Superbowl plans for tonight, I'm in the car half the day and no time to do a produced in studio show. None the less, we had a great conversation about the events in their current form, and going back in time a little bit. Plus, well.... too many hints for Arc 2. I get a little looselipped between the arcs sometimes, and today is no exception. We a...

Hey Galaxy! Uploaded for your auditory pleasure, here is the audio simulcast of our YouTube stream on Wednesday February 3rd. We discussed transport patterns and what should happen with this pattern conversion, as well as touched on hints for the upcoming Arc 2, and played in the game all the while. We answered questions, had fun, laughed a lot, and had a grand ole time. This episode MAY be diffic...

This episode is bonus content from our episode that aired on 1/31. After the published show, the conversation continued about a WIDE array of topics, including borg probes and crews, raiding, account grants, the cc program itself, and half a dozen other areas within the game that need discussion! What a great time we had hanging out with friends of the show and having an open and honest conversati...

Hello Galaxy! Tonight we had a special guest in the studio to present a new intuitive tool allowing players to more easily plan their progression. Fellow Official Content Creator Fartasia is with us to discuss his new innovation, and how it came to be. The file is downloadable in our discord (link available from our website below) to download this new tool, or available directly in the LCARS 2.0 d...

Last night was our first time together in a week, and 5nakeEyes did an amazing job at keeping DJz on task. Today, topics were discussed around HOW a F2P could possibly complete the Battlepass Overflow event. Was Scopely lying when we announced DURING the FIRST day of the arc that it could be done without spend? What are the requirements? Let's break down the math and see what we know, PLUS get the...

Hey Star Trekkers! Great conversation on today's show included a discussion over communication in the game, not only through the official discord, but also using the in game news center. Why are announcements not made to all? Plus a detailed conversation in to HOW you should determine how to use your Battlepass Prime material. Are you a candidate for Prime Officers? Or better off spending on Prime...

Hello Star Trekkers! As happens occassionally, TOO much happens in preparation for a show. Conversations run long, the community becomes passionate and polarized, and debate occurs. As the ONLY long form format of content within Star Trek Fleet Command, I feel it's our responsibility to allow community feedback, and allow voices to be heard. Part 1 ran long and was all about burning, and therefore...
