DJz returns from Dallas from an amazingly nerdy automobile industry convention, but it's REMARKABLE how similar the consumer bases are.... let's compare some amazing statistics about consumers, and see if they relate to the STFC playerbase... 

Lots of stuff we talked about tonight! Including some things that will never happen, other things that are happening and a few things that may or may not happen. super descriptive huh? the show title says it all, so let's dive right in. 

Tonight we recap the GS-31 for the f2p who recently finished their 100 day journey on how it works and how to use the refinery, as well as what it pays, but the big revelation tonight comes in new Serene Squall research, loops, and refinery payouts.... Did we miss the biggest benefit of all for G6 players? IS this ship as influential as Monaveen was? or Revenant? JulesVern has the answers. 

Tonight we return to the studio to break down Bek's prearc video and a check in with the lab on the latest bug report and Jules presents on the Vengeance loop to upgrade the games most exclusive new ship! 

Tonight we return to the studio after a week off and boy was there some stuff to catch up on! We'll start with the Transogen loop and why it's different than flashpoint and why flashpoint should LARGELY be ignored in it's current state. We'll move onto the Ascendence events, current materials spending and a host of other widely controversial topics in the world of STFC this week. 

This show is PACKED with info and is a must listen to for anyone taking flashpoint seriously! Let's dive in EVERYTHING from what we have to do, to what it pays, and everything in between! 

Bubba Joe stops by to tell DJz to sit down (what else is new) and also finally admit to the world, that he actually loves hazards. And he's just in luck, cause Flashpoint will incorporate hazards for all in some form or capacity. Let's talk about what we know.
