Ending a mission.

System

how do i end a mission, is it just a normal npc contact selection and if that is the last thing you do that is mission complete ?

Archived Post

also can i ask, how do you create force fields that you cannot pass until u select it as an option so you can stage the progression through lets say a base so you cant accidently or purposly jump stages of a mission.

The story Board and mission ends when you get to the final flag. You can end the mission how ever you want. The last tool added will be the last objective. Depend on your story.

Check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlLZ8A48tEI&feature=player_embedded

If it's in the story board it must be done.

Good Luck...

More Question go for it.

You can talk to contacts as many times as you Like. Reach points and Objects as well as enemies can only have one interaction. Recommend using Invisible and Visible options in this video...

Have to go to work soon, but will check em out for you and give feed back tonight. in about 8hours from this post. My klingon is only LT COM so Hopefully you don't have a rank Cap.

no there is no rank, minimum is lvl 16 which u have from the off just by doing the qu'nos walk about, the foundry should be for making q's for all not just top end an the lower ends need some fun, thats what i feel anyhows.

Some NPC enemy groups have a certain level range attached to them, so if you use one of them, it reflects that in the mission.

aa right, is there a list anywhere that shows what npcs will create a specific lvl range ?

edit, fixed, tried to use some mirror force feds on it. wierd that they are for lvl 31+ only as you would think that that would rank and de rank according to the player playing them.

one last question, if i have to change anything on the mission like grammer and spelling which i can see me having todo cos i have terrible dyslexia do i have to withdraw the mission or can i just do the changes and then press publish and it will overwrite the old mission with the new info like live patching ?

About to play your mission. No Editing functions in game. I'm dyslexic too and am alwasy pushing for a story board exsport import function. I cut and paste from A word document.

Okay Sh1ngara.
Here it is.

The mission is long an tedious. It doesn't offer anything else but more content for the klingon side. You have done your research though. Excellent use of all areas of foundry. There is a good story there, but it's like a 4hour version of Alexander. I hated that movie. Why would they make three different versions of a TRIBBLE movie.

There is allot more to be said, But I'm Pooped. Bellow is my walk through response enjoy. Only take onboard what you want to though. Remember this is your mission. I did enjoy it and can't wait to play it once you have worked out some issues.

P.s Flush out the story allot more. Your missing allot of opportunities. Turn this patrol type mission into an epic adventure. I hope you can find someone else to play the next edit. Keep up the good work. It is refreshing to play a 1st mission that's not TRIBBLE.

And please check out my latest StarbaseUGC post. It might help.

Spoiler alert this is a mission in work review.

GAMEPLAY FEEDBACK
Not going to edit this, already too much time on this.
Orion Tac – Crappy Build – Lt Commander 8
STO=Cryptic
hunter Moons, the Shadows Falls
Highlight AZURA sector in the description Box. Also ad a Sector Block.
First popup. Don't use last name. Didn't really work for my character.
And at this point the mission is boring. I don't care for it. The audience needs a really valid reason to play your mission.
Okay pretty sure the Azura System is in Federation space and unavailable to Klingon's.
Checking anyway.
AHH dammit AZUR NEBULA. Major Klingon Noob.
Okay on the right path now. So far no grammatical errors, But I am Dyslexic too
So now you know my Process I write as I play so you can get my thoughts as well as my Critic.
I do not think about being nice or mean. I just write. It's up too you too do with it as you will.
Tah the Azure Nebula is in sight. Wow great start location. I don't play Klingon much.
Ahha found Grammatical error GOTO Azure Nebula. Go To The Azura Nebula.
[enter Nebula] couldn't tell if I was playing foundry or I'd end up in a STO mission.
Posible solution.
[Start hunter Moons, the Shadows Falls]
[Investigate Missing ships]
Unless you want it to feel apart of the STO content.
Mission Popup {Coordinates} [For = From] I do that too.
[Enter nebula] Use capitals when appropriate or you want to highlight something.
1st popup in Nebula. Pad?
Ahh pod were worse than each other. i=I
Full stops at end of sentence .......
Good use of way point marker.
Is this the actual Azure nebula they use in game content?
Scan for lifesigns – Would Klingon care or use that type of Dialog?
Interact button text can be changed. I usually do. But inkeeping with sto, good work.
Ahh enemies. Not ready for combat. Not a very good Klingon am I.
If the Hirogen Invaded I think They would have more than Scorpian Fighters
Arn't the Hirogen part of the empire Now? Never mind me...
Continue button can also be change at the authors consent.
Thought I was playing Fed again. Thought it would have been nice to scan for the ships.
Okay you need to change the NAVbeacon title. I'm going to Scan Ships.
Yes the Constitution class. Were are the feds let me at em.
Man I need to Transfer my Klingon character. My old build sucks.
Enemy incoming. There is intrigue and I'm finally curious as to why the Hirogen wouldn't want me near the Federation ships.
I'm getting mostly seeker frigates. I like that they could be scavengers and not part of the story.
Was upset that there wasn't another Ship Debrie though.
Okay I like the fact that you can scan the final debris without killing the third wave of enemies.
I didn't like the fact that the three encounters were all on the one course.
YAY finally a hunter escort after scanning the ship. Killed me though this build has no Hull repair.
Respawn Point could have been closer.
Use more respawn points please...
Okay and don't have a waypoint so now I'm glad all the enemies are in a line across the map.
Oh and when I got back there was a friendly awesome.
Okay had to zoom in to find the next contacts. Could of Missed it. Use reach marker and make the Dimension bigger.
Ah Navbeacon again.
Having to use big map.
Finally found them an am above them by like 20klm
Okay enemies are doing something weird warping in and out.
Okay just killed 2 enemies near a contact Klingon vessel. Just to get you up to date were the hell I am.
Goto next ship On scanners.
Oh I'm beaming people awsome.
Yes Hrirogen contact finally getting into some story. It's been a long Road, getting for there to here.....
Bit of a glitch in your [/Missioninfo].
I don't trust him why would I give him the codes?
Going to minning station.
Okay Talon battleship what is going on.
Your mission has me so confused I had to ask questions to my fleet that usualy come to me on a normal day. Who are the Hirogen Who are the Nausicans. Aren't they part of the klingon empire.
Ahha Finally scanning Beacon.
It needs a way marker. Some might get lost after a battle.
I liked the dialog after scanning the beacons. Kirk um sorry I mean Rank.
Wait it's telling me to look at something amazing and there is nothing. And now I'm beaming were?
Was it the sun you were trying to emphasis. I'm so lost.
Beaming Down.
I'm tired already. This mission is becoming a grind.
1st popup. I didn't get a chance to read before being attacked.
[Out of mission review. I have been trying to level my Klingon character for ages like a month now. I'm currently at commander on Holodeck I think. I have only just realized why. I forgot I wanted to do an alt totally on The advanced difficulty setting. I had forgotten about this many weeks ago. It is now my fleet maneuverer.]
Holy TRIBBLE thats a lot of Hirogen.
Shame My character sux I love a good Zerg.
Died 3 times. Good battle.
Okay thats a federation door dude. Lol
On other side of door immediately attacked.
Be wary of the shoot through wall foundry bug.
Do I really have to kill 5 more Hirogen . Good wander Use.
Got creamed. Died.
Ow dude respawn point in the middle thats just too crule.
These groups are way to hard. But I probabley would be enjoying if playing on an alt.
3/5 hirogen-coffee break 45minutes in. Mind you I have been typing all this.
I don't usually type this much.
There was 4/5 but 6 left on map. Is one supposed to be a boss fight because I think I've fudged it.
Please no more fighting.
6 consoles is a bit ridiculous.
Another fed door.
Two high lights in one text box is offputting.
Typing on door. Hmm and then It disappears. Force field would have been nice.
Okay 0/5 more.....
I have a fed mindset but this is all brown and no insight.
Okay repawn point.
I'm slowly figuring out tactics to kill these things faster.
Accolade for longest first mission ever.
Console position not good.
And the cargo boxes flash.
Third fed door.
I like 0/3 enemies
I think that was a boss battle if so good boss battle.
“Video link” me like.
Okay now onto the boss. Finaly yay..
holy TRIBBLE.
AhAHAH there having a party. Well I'll have to something about that. Put me through all this die...
I lured him into the corridor so I didn't have to kill more than the boss. He was tough though.
And stealth cloak to get to the console.
Damn didnt' work
Respawn point getting annoyed.....
Okay used Stealth and lured them away from the console....
Gratification.
Reinforcement okay.
Ahh there it is a Cardassian station. Cool.
3 seeker frigates. Lol.
Thank god for the Talon.
Missed pop up during batttle.
And thats it...
Actually no Talk to Kdf intel. ?????
Ahh Qo nos needs to be highlighted.
Got caught in a beam down beam up loop after warping back into the system.
More info on the INTEL Contact needed.
I do like this part though very much. And am glad qo'nos isn't to far away.
And I've been playing for more than 30min. The warp back is great.
An was hopeing for a waypoint marker at Qo'nos and there it is.

Please don't give up on this one.

Ahh pod were worse than each other. i=I You dont have to scan it, its auto found when you warp in as thats what you beam too
Full stops at end of sentence .......
Good use of way point marker.
Is this the actual Azure nebula they use in game content? no its the badlands effect, i have a reason for it, an as its a nebula i thought hell to it why not it works
Scan for lifesigns – Would Klingon care or use that type of Dialog? As it states in the mission info, you are looking for the missing KDF who have gone missing whilst on patrols and the bait ship that was sent to find them and draw out who was taking them
Interact button text can be changed. I usually do. But inkeeping with sto, good work.

Okay you need to change the NAVbeacon title. I'm going to Scan Ships. tryin to work out how to spawn and despawn the nav beacons. was my 1st go at foundry :P
Yes the Constitution class. Were are the feds let me at em.
Man I need to Transfer my Klingon character. My old build sucks.
Enemy incoming. There is intrigue and I'm finally curious as to why the Hirogen wouldn't want me near the Federation ships.
I'm getting mostly seeker frigates. I like that they could be scavengers and not part of the story. hirogen are hunters, what your facing is the scout forces

Okay Talon battleship what is going on. Talon is nausican battleship
Your mission has me so confused I had to ask questions to my fleet that usualy come to me on a normal day. Who are the Hirogen Who are the Nausicans. Aren't they part of the klingon empire. Hirogen are semi alleganced with the romulans
