About this episode

The episode discusses the CoTA debate in the STFC community, features a deep dive into combat mechanics with guest Sudo, and offers tips for players in their 20s.

Tonight on Talking Trek, DJz and Griffin tackle one of the hottest STFC topics in the community: the return of CoTA, why it was canceled, why it may be back for only one more run, and why players are so split on the decision. Before that, DJz clears the air on the recent apology controversy and addresses the rumors surrounding his original statement to the community. Then the show goes full teaching mode with special guest Sudo, creator of STFC.phd, for a deep dive into battle log parsing, sub-rounds, officer activations, mitigation, hidden combat data, and how players can use the tool to improve their gameplay. In the second half, Jules Vern delivers a massive “20 tips for your 20s” presentation focused on low and mid-ops progression, covering ship priorities, faction strategy, away teams, event traps, community tools, and how newer players can avoid costly mistakes. The episode closes with a lengthy community roundtable on CoTA, player trust, communication, hoarding strategy, and the ongoing tug-of-war between player value and game economics. If you enjoy STFC strategy, game analysis, community debate, and a little live-show chaos along the way, this one has the whole buffet…
