SHIPYARD 73 IS HERE! Building the Praefortis + $100K Christmas Angel Fund | STFC

We came into today's Talking Trek livestream wondering whether Shipyard 73 was actually within reach... and somehow we left with a brand-new Praefortis. We break down the Alliance Tournament reward fix, spend our way through the event store, talk Vengeance vs. Praefortis strategy, tackle G7 progression, Haven, player boredom, content cadence, waves, armadas and ultimately make the push all the way to Ops 73 and our newest ship. More importantly, the 2026 Christmas Angel Fund is officially underway! We're raising money directly for Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt with an enormous $100,000 community goal, and you guys managed to put the first $1,000 on the board during DAY ONE. We also reveal the rules for tomorrow's DJz vs. Tarpy LEGO Chopper charity race, continue filling the October GoWheel, and somehow discuss figure skating, haunted hotels, Toronto, beefaroni and vodka along the way. Because apparently this is a perfectly normal Star Trek Fleet Command show.
