Talking Trek: Star Trek Fleet Command

Last night we chill on the highway yet again in another Talking in Carz with DJz. While some players prefer this format, (DJz loves the production and goofiness that a studio show brings) it pretty much always DOES deliver some good conversation and content. While the Treasury tax has been repealed, players continue to speculate on it's origins, and Bubba Jo earns his own pitchforks with his proposed solution. Plus, other strong points this week include F2P presentation on Amalgam, increased Rare Directive sourcing, increased officer sourcing (through multiphasics and dabos/epic luck), and increased event reward payouts. Lots of topics on this EXTENDED version of Talking in Carz with DJz (it was a long drive lol) Please share with your team, sub to our channels, and ENJOY the show!  please visit us online at www.talkingtrekstfc.com  

Does that read like a headline? It should. The first part of this show starts relatively typical as we break down the valuable meta and events this month that are gonna require VERY careful planning and even then, players will likely have to choose a direction to pursue this month, as it would be very very expensive to do them all. However, the conversation transitioned in the second segment of the show to surround one singular item: The Treasury Tax. The stage was opened to players to explain their take, and send a message to Scopely. Though some opinions varied in one direction or another, the UNIVERSAL sentiment was: "Scopely, This. Is. BAD."

The title speaks for itself. Rules of Acquisition Pt2 (and final) is here, and Scopely has not disappointed in their ability to channel their inner Ferengi. Let's be clear, there are several potentially GOOD things this arc. I will reserve judgement until we're able to see more. But from right out the gate, there's a thing or two that is most certainly and clearly BAD. And one of them is that Scopely has quite literally enacted it's first TAX on the game as it pertains to raiding. Why was this done? What was the logic? We attempt to break it down, and give you more information about the upcoming arc, all the while answering your questions about this upcoming Month. Get ready, this one is a doosey.

Tonight, the wounds of RoA Pt 1 were reopened, salt poured in, and then rebandaged in sandpaper. HOWEVER, players found some shining moments this arc and we found time to discuss those as well. The feesha was obviously the big topic, and the perspectives battled on whether the ship was a f2p savior, or a colossal waste of time. Scopely's consideration for players during international crisis was applauded loudly, and week 3 modifications to events were praised. So, was this arc quite AS BAD as we originally may have thought? The community sounds off, and the results MAY surprise you. Please visit our website at www.talkingtrekstfc.com  

Tonight we stepped outside of the studio and broadcast live from the highway as DJz hosted Talking In Carz with DJz. Topics included a review and recap of some of the items that were introduced this month, a lighter than typical event calendar (which was praised by some players) and Gregor stops by for a completely unfettered, unbiased opinion on his first appearance on the show this entire arc. Is BubbaJoe justified in his complaints? Or is Gregor satisfied with Rules of Acquisition? Plus a nice Q&A towards the end touching on pack sales, the future acquisition of officers, and other community oriented information. As is most typically the case, this laid back episode was a ton of fun, and we encourage you to share with your team, sub to our channels, and ENJOY the show!

Week 3 started out not bad. Changes to Latinum Rush were problematic in some areas, but we expected them to be a little rough starting out with the balance of the Feesha's mining speeds. The fact that there's a staple event with some tinkering and modernization is good. We also saw modifications to the Ferengi Recruiting event, and a surprise SMS and SLB with some pretty incredible rewards! We saw the return of one of our favorite Ultra Recruit packs from Duality, and IF you're a spender, the return of a couple of very valuable cash packs. But..... Is it enough to save this arc? BubbaJo and DJz face off over latinum changes, feesha viability, mining in general, and event mechanics in this MUST listen to show!

Fillin Friday launched an Armada Damage SLB, and on the surface, it doesn't look bad. Damage for armadas dictates uncommon usage, but days 2 and 3 of this SLB run along side the Quark Strength event for Rares and Epics. Scoring has synergy and I won't complain about that. But, there are still obvious problems, and they AREN'T from the completion ability of this event, but rather, the logistics. Dumping the entire galaxy into Romulan space, the scoring for Ops 20-22, and the decision to use Klingon Conquest out of context for how it was written all contribute to even MORE community frustrations tonight. But, never fear, math always holds true, and thanks to NCC and StewieDoo, we now have MORE data on how your trait xp gives you returns. How much do you get out of what you spend?

WARNING: this episode contains explicit language, wild antics, inappropriate comments, and most other stuff that's a lot of fun for anyone who is above the age of 18. this episode is NSFW.    On this after show, we begin with Ripper and Bubba shooting the bull and DJz hops in from the car. We talk a little about dabo tokens, comparative payouts, and WHY dabo tokens MAY be getting a bad rap unfairly. Ripper hates on STFC.space (yes he owns it) and we touch on the insanity of the mid g5 economy. Then DJz gets back to the studio and basically, a whole second show begins, touching on f2p paths for primes, g5 scrapping, event modifications, wish list mechanics, and some areas of stupidity.

Hey commanders! Tonight was our first night back in a week and boy was there a lot to discuss. We began with a quick peek a the feesha changes, how they happened and why they may provide a bit of hope for an otherwise lackluster start to an arc. Then, DJz goes on the defense about why scrapping multiple d'vors BEFORE t9 COULD be wise. But does it apply to everyone? Events are under the microscope next, and this is just...... well, you'll hear it. However, there is one bright spot to the month and that is in the Dabo bundles. And yes, these are comparatively pretty decent compared to non even store months of the past (november MAYBE being an outlier, challenge ripper on that one lol) and our projections to your loot count as well as the rss that you can get from para bellum/jelly brawl. All this and SOOOO much more. What a show! Please share with your team, sub to our channels, and enjoy the show!  visit our website for links, tools, and past episodes at www.talkingtrekstfc.com  

Tonight we introduce the first Ferengi arc, Rules of Engagement and at first glance, there's a lot here to be desired. However, there is a set of the population that is going to benefit greatly from this new mechanic. Is it exciting? Maybe not, but is it useful? The answer is probably yes. PLUS, we dive into the feesha and her abilities. What crew works best? How does the math work? Will the Ferengi officers be necessary? Get your shot glasses ready, the math is intense on this one. Finally, we give you an exclusive peek INSIDE the next weeks worth of events and what you need to know to get ready for the next several days, INCLUDING the Quark Meta SMS's.
