Talking Trek goes deep on the newest Star Trek Fleet Command updates with a full breakdown of Infinite Incursions, the new PvP banding changes, and the latest CoTA reveal. DJz and the panel tackle the controversial removal of base raiding from server-vs-server incursion scoring, debate whether the new system will actually improve PvP, and explain why Klingon Armada scoring may be dead on arrival if cloaking stays untouched. Along the way, the show also covers the March community survey, shifted incursion timing, and why player reactions are all over the map. The back half of the episode turns toward interim scheduling, clearer event communication, and the reveal of Zephram Cochrane for CoTA. DJz reacts positively to the improved roadmap visibility, breaks down the new arc cadence, and explains why knowing future launch windows is a big win for both players and creators.
