    Gary the Hate Camel presents a podcast with Tech, Kirk, Handy and Boom:

    List of notable things:

    0:08 - Reminder off the top how S45 beat up on S34, and then some real incursions talk on scoring.

    5:48 - Getting invaded during your BYE week...then back to 45 vs 34 and the scoring mechanics.
    13:48 - Boom scored 3/4ths the points of all of S34.
    15:59 - The cost vs reward analysis, and also server population, really impacts how incursions play out.
    21:10 - One big cannot stop a raid.  A big can break incursions by being cracked, but they can't make incursions. Even if they can crack other bigs, you still need a big to get cracked which goes back to a big can break things. A whale cannot make incursions though, plain and simple.
    25:48 - Ocm got wrecked by Techman16!
    27:14 - Let's talk about grinding crews! Nerrrrrrrrrrd time!
    39:13 - Small nugget, Lower Decks arc was supposed to be 2 months and it got shortened to 1.  Womp womp.  And some Ferengi and mining hate.
    40:54 - Some Feesha love (it's real name is Fajita).
    44:57 - Meta orientation? Know your mitigation floor and ceiling!
    48:21 - Self-burn, and porn-Mudd?
    50:37 - Let's talk diminishing returns kids, because math is fun!!!
    52:27 - StrangeKirk nods off learning about officers, and Tolstoy fails to follow through. Shame. Shame. Shame.
    54:07 - More shame! Watch Lower Decks damnit! But first, a raiding anecdote.
    56:35 - Ok, now to actual Lower Decks talk, and TOS Mudd ruled!
    1:02:42 - Denise Crosby leaving TNG: hot gossip, definitely not decades old news, and some other TNG talk.
    1:05:07 - TNG: when hamburger helper goes wrong. And then just talk about Star Trek in general covering the different series.
    1:13:15 - Direct attack on earth in Enterprise, killing millions, and digging a trench from Florida to Venezuala.  Say what now? THEY SHOT US IN THE DICK! But apparently Star Trek Enterprise is really good!
    1:20:29 - Oh yeah, Picard is a thing! Season 2 apparently is awful.
    1:25:31 - Let's trash on Star Wars and the Death Star some!
    1:29:42 - Riker being horny as a security concern, and general Starfleet security failures.

  • Interview with UltimatDJz - The State of STFC

    Hosts: StrangeKirk, Handy

    Guests: UltimateDJz (15), DragonKeeper (52), JimmJones, Trojan, Sloterer, SARRescueRanger, DonaldTrump (34), Stratalorian(9), MadamStarGazer (66)

    List of notable things:
    0:00 - DJz interview starts, and he is aggravated about the game!
    2:26 - Monetizing content is ok, for example the Dukat officer purchase model.
    5:06 - Frustrations with the time now required from the game to stay on par (grinding).
    15:56 - DJz thinks people would riot if Scopely didn't release new content one month.  I think if Scopely said they were going to address a list of meaningful bugs we've all been complaining about, as well as address some gameplay improvements we've been clamoring for, not only would we not riot we would throw Scopely a fucking party!  There are a lot of players that would like to put more money into their bases or ships as well, and never can because they're all but forced to invest in whatever the latest content is.  A gap month would not cause Scopely any undue fiscal or "social contract" harm IF they were upfront about what they wanted to address and those things are items that players care about. /rant
    18:40 - How about we look at long existing events and loot tables!!!
    27:24 - Ty'Gokor is a bug, it was never meant to be the way it is.
    29:31 - Scopely ignores too many things for too long. And speaking of, if Scopely encouraged us to not save up forever, we'd spend what we've held onto and probably buy more packs as well. And if there wasn't an Arc, instead put up older content items and let people buy those. Or to encourage spending boost station and ship packs with an extra 10% mats that month. People will buy, and you're not breaking the bank on that it's a small boost that will buy them the time to do game improvements that people will truly appreciate, while still making their money that they want to make.
    36:30 - Simplify things by, for example, allowing the new content to satisfy faction dailies. You're destroying another faction! Consolidate these grinds, which doesn't really encourage spending anyways.
    41:35 - Scopely needs to listen a little more to the people that are tied into the player base.
    43:25 - Questions and Answers with DJz from the audience (listen up, there's some fun questions in here).

  • Trek Talk - Episode 104 - Incursions 2 Recap, Multiphasic Bans

    Gary the Hate Camel presents a podcast with Tech, Kirk, Handy and Boom:

    Guests: Pho3nix, DonaldTrump (34), Stratalorian (9), 

    Topics Discussed:

    0:27 - Pho3nix enjoys walking around like a crackhead? And he's also banned from the Scopely store?

    3:25 - We catch some people up on the fact that multiphasic credits are well worth it, for us it's literally free stuff!
    7:26 - I am thankful Scopely uses a third party payment processing service, I don't want to lose my house!
    10:50 - Incursions was a hoot, because I can't stop talking about incursions, it's my favorite!
    15:50 - Best place in regular space to kill Federation ships?
    17:37 - A loophole!?
    20:43 - Incursion SMS sucks!
    22:36 - Server 42 player base is less toxic than Server 34?
    25:08 - A Stratalorian perspective on incursions.
    30:59 - The downside of trying to pair off winners versus winners and losers versus losers in incursions.
    32:40 - Orville talk, spoilers for the finale! WATCH IT!!!!!!!!!!!
    37:24 - Waxing philosophical about CNC in a Star Trek spoof.
    40:15 - We don't need the fish pussies StrangeKirk is peddling. It's economics people.
    42:56 - Back to the Orville, and Techman's re-enactment!
    46:54 - Ok, done with Orville, so let's talk NONA drama!
    52:24 - You can't just be an asshole and expect event participation to offset that fact. Huh. Guess I'm fucked!
    59:00 - Friends having each others back no matter what isn't a friendship, it is a cultist mercenary blind loyalty situation, and throughout history these have not been positive.
    1:01:21 - Boom DOES appreciate it!

    And remember...spread the hate!

  • Trek Talk - Episode 103 - Feelings

    Gary the Hate Camel presents a podcast with Tech, Kirk, Handy and Boom:

    Guests: MadamStarGazer (66), ocmsrzr, InquisitorBurnzy (45), JustJoel (31), PimpSauce (52), Molly_Weasley (21), Stratalorian (9), Pho3nix, Parzival, DonaldTrump (34)

    Topics Discussed:

    0:00 - The Craig hate starts early today!

    1:00 - Don't say gay!

    3:14 - On to sci-fi! Orville is now streaming on Disney+ so you are running out of excuses for not watching it! Spoilers ahead!

    12:54 - Craig barfs the audio for about 13 seconds, our apologies! Still talking Orville though!

    17:46 - Conflict over the past few days around trying to call out mental illness. Not ok. And if a referee tells you to stop, you stop, it's not that hard.

    23:55 - JustJoel is an alliance mate of the person booted, and apparently that guy is a real unpleasant individual.

    26:26 - And back to the Orville!!! We can't quit it!

    29:12 - Sometimes you have to stir drinks in an unorthodox manner... And some beer talk, because some people love yak piss. And how beer now has as many variants as weed does, because some people appear to also be hippies. Yes, Boom hates beer and weed, get over it. Give me a real drink and STFU.

    38:17 - On to STFC talk, and the next upcoming incursions! S45 got paired against S49, which has a lot more power than S45.

    50:30 - Everyone is glad that for incursions our opponents are being rotated!

    56:08 - Tech can't kill a capital trader in Kronos with his Augur unless he hits it multiple times. For shame!

    1:07:20 - Treachery and treason in incursions!  Wait...doesn't this all seem really familiar?  Like we covered it last week?  :eyes:

    1:13:24 - It's odd that aggressive alliances don't go all-in on incursions.

    1:14:30 - What we do when someone rolls into our territory and hits one of our bases? We actually DON'T go crack every base out there just because someone hit a base in our territory. Unless it's during the actual territory defense time, in which case it's straight to war do not pass go. NONA is...less aggressive, and shit is about to go off the rails!

    1:15:45 - We have some serious underlying Parzival frustration here!

    1:20:57 - Parzival explains his issue with Pho3nix and Pho3nix explains his side. And calm, respectful conversations are Handy's hope...has he never BEEN on the internet before?

    1:26:34 - Ocm, by the transitive property, hates women. And Parzival and Pho3nix both work with very difficult people, so the combativeness is weird to Techman.

    1:32:16 - Techman asks if Parzival can unblock Pho3nix for 5 minutes, Parzival declines. He has come to a conclusion about Pho3nix, so he doesn't need to know anything else. Personally, this seems a little shortsighted, but I don't know what happened so maybe it makes complete sense?

    1:36:55 - Duel with Parrots at dawn! Because WTF is normal, anyways?

    1:41:11 - Is it more exhausting to be accepting and move on, or to be angry and hold a grudge? For me, it's hard to always turn the other cheek, it's easier to hate people for their shortcomings.

    1:46:48 - Mongo just pawn in great game of life.

    1:49:43 - If you haven't thought about murdering someone, you haven't loved them.

    1:50:33 - Boom does something many should have done much earlier during this podcast, and pleads the 5th. And watch the %&#@ing Orville!
