Show notes

Tonight's show didn't disappoint as we finally iron out the details of Rom and how he works, and determine if Soggy was in fact correct with his hypothesis. But, in doing so, the return of a mechanic long lost to the community is discussed, and both sides of the issue are discussed. Is station burning good? bad? or need tweaking? PLUS we examine the month to date with dabo payouts, and other payouts combined to determine this months overall 'feel' with rewards. Finally, the treasury mechanic is discussed in a brief, yet informative segment about WHY players may or may not feel animosity towards this new hybrid feature.

Did Scopely Break 5th Grade Math? Mar 20, 2022

Show notes

There's not much to say on this one other than, 'scopely..... fixxxxxx iitttttttt.'
rounding doesn't round anymore. 1 equals 0, and 1.5 equals 17, Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... MASS HYSTERIA!
My head hurts. Take an aspirin before listening.

Love,
DJz

RSS Dumps, Lockbox Info, & Rippers Corner on Faction Research Fixes Mar 16, 2022

Show notes

Today the show was allllll sorts of information jammed into one. We answer questions about how this monumental SMS can be completed, and why there's a fundamental problem with it's design (in this case), plus get into ship power, WHY it changed, and what players can expect to see when upgrading their ships. Lastly, we dive into the lockbox and set the record straight on a few key aspects of this building, and find that it's actually quite familiar.... And why players should choose carefully when examining this new pay portion of this feature. All this and a SPECIAL announcement towards the end of the show on WHEN we will start actually FILLING this new treasure chest. Please share with your team, sub to our channels, and ENJOY the show!

Strong Week 1 Finish After Shaky Start Mar 13, 2022

Show notes

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 While the Treasury tax has been repealed, players continue to speculate on it's origins, and Bubba Jo earns his own pitchforks with his proposed solution.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!

New Arc Introduction Tainted by New Tax - Scopely Speechless Mar 09, 2022

Show notes

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." Hear players reactions LIVE on the latest hot button issue spreading through the community. Please share with your team, sub to our channels, and ENJOY the show!

RoA Pt2: The Only Things In Life That are Certain Are Death, & Taxes Mar 08, 2022

Show notes

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.

Rules of Acquisition Final Grades Issued! Mar 02, 2022

Show notes

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.

Latinum Rush Take 3, and RoA Recap: Bad? Boring? or Bright? Feb 27, 2022

Show notes

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 Improvements: Is it Too Late? Feb 23, 2022

Show notes

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! Please share with your team, sub to our channels, and ENJOY the show!

More Poor Decisions, More Mistakes, BUT GOOD ATA Math! Feb 20, 2022

Show notes

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? Listen in to find out newly discovered mechanics on ATA Critical Chance Success rates. Please share with your team, sub to our channels, and ENJOY this super sized edition of Talking Trek!
