Talking Trek: Star Trek Fleet Command

On tonight's show we broke the news that Scopely HQ was making a change to the Sela power gained auction. How does this fare for players? Is this a good change? While domination auctions are great, and they are, it's dangerous to mess with a mechanic that includes OTHER metrics, and not only that, but again, for the second month in a row, a change is made that throws players off kilter less than 48 hours before an event. What are the ramifications for this auction? PLUS, Conquest actually seems like a huge hit, and paid out just STUPID amounts of rss and materials. How can you flip the script coming up this week? The mechanics are within and we invite you to share with your team, sub to our channels, and ENJOY the show!

On tonight's show we start breaking down the event calendar and the 117 events Scopely has prepared for us today. There are some KEY strategic moments this month, with events that clearly have a direct path. How has Scopely responded to the sustainability complaints from October and prepared players to compete this month? Plus, we talk briefly about the new Prime Officers and IF it's really worth 99.99, OR if a BOGO is a better deal? And Scopely hides the most important improvement of the entire arc, Common Material / Lat conversion rates! All this and more, plus special guest Skacoren stops by to talk about his latest g5 ship and HIS opinion on the new Prime Officer pack. Please visit our website at www.talkingtrekstfc.com
 

Today we did our typical arclaunch Q&A based on the new arc with the new currency, new research, new cloaks, refits, and so much more! Get some answers to your questions here, plus hear about a new giveaway and your chance to WIN! 

The nailbiter month of October has raised questions for MANY players throughout their 30's levels. The new question, WHERE to camp and hoard, vs where to spend? This conversation dominated today as we spent some dissecting the 20's, and 30's, for ideal camping zones. Plus we discuss downtime between the arcs, and recap all of the hints we've provided so far, PLUS provide 2 new ones! And DJ gags over spiders. All this and more on today's fun filled adventure with Talking Trek!

Happy Halloween! Always fun to be with you on air for a holiday! Tonight we briefly wrapped up on Trek or Treat, and discussed the snafu with the Ghost Hunter event regarding tetryons and feasibility. We quickly transitioned into Borg, and while LOTS of players find this an unpopular opinion, DJz actually found this event better than August's version. More importantly, 4 changes were identified that Scopely ACTUALLY modified, and most players didn't notice. We break down the roadmap again for players who missed the August episode, give you the ideal crews to use depending on the capabilities of your vidar, and talk about the future implications of the megacube events. Plus there was definitely some halloween talk, and DJz eats too many butterfingers, and may or may not have vomited live on the air. No, we didn't cut that out. Please share the show with your team IN TIME FOR Monday's Armada event, sub to our channels, and most of all, ENJOY the show!

Tonight, DJz is wrapping up a week of traveling and decides to join the community from the road. We discuss the Duality wrap up and what went well this month, which was nearly everything! We discuss the modifications to G5 space, and the latest change on Ultra Recruits and Transporter Patterns. Then when everyone is feeling giddy from all the celebration (and wine) then we get real. How can Scopely POSSIBLY hope to repeat this in the future? What can they do to ensure success? How can players be involved month after month with this new auction replacement mechanic, and does further testing need to happen? Listen in on this great back and forth conversation on Duality! Please share with your teams, sub to our channels, and ENJOY the show!

Feedback regarding week 1's version of Heart of Stonn was heard by Scopely. But was the reiteration worse? Tonight we dive into the changes, the thought process BEHIND those changes, and what it means for the community moving into the future. We talk about hoarding mechanics, and how much it should OR should NOT affect your progression. Finally, we REEXAMINE our path to 4 of 10, and WHAT it will mean for players if they CANNOT finish their ultra recruit event this weekend. Is there still a path? Maybe so!

There were some clear break points in satisfaction with these SMS. For example, MOST players Ops 39 and down are THRILLED with the opportunity at a full unlock WITHOUT having to dump millions of points into an auction where they could be sniped at the last second. Players in the upper 40's view it as a sign of relief, almost a "discount" of sorts, because their auction prices would go significantly higher than Scopely is asking them to pay. However, players in the low to mid 40's, are feeling the pressure as common material walls, and the NEW adjustment for them from G3 to G4 is still in the early stages. Facts are, players control their own destiny. An officer has a clear and defined objective price to unlock. And unlike an auction, you know where your spend gets you. Despite early rabble about high milestones, upon calm reflection, perhaps this isn't all bad? DJz sits back and let's the community duke this one out as we turn to each corner, and find F2P wildly in favor of this mechanic, and light spenders feeling the impossible. This is a great listen and some great insight into what other players face on a monthly basis with upgrades and materials spend. Please share with your team, sub to our channes, and most importantly, ENJOY the listen!
