Filbones Reviews

Filbones Critical Analysis

Would you like a critical analysis of your mission?


I write down my thoughts as I play your mission as well as share ideas and foundry techniques you might not have considered.

Please do not ask me to play your mission if you have a polished product. I'm looking for new authors or missions that need feedback to improve the/there project.

By submitting your mission, your giving me permission to design banners, posters or trailers to promote your mission, as well as post reviews, spotlights or recommendations for your missions.

This is done voluntary and I do not promise to promote or review your mission.

Missions will only be played if you have filled out the details bellow.

TITLE : What is your mission called?
AUTHOR : What is your STO Nick?
CODE : What is the Mission Code?
LEVEL : What level do I have to be to play?
LOCATION : Where does the mission start?
LENGTH : How long does it take to play approximately?
TAGS : What are the tags of your mission? Please Include FED or KDF
DESCRIPTION : What is your missions description?
LINKS : youtube, photobucket, StarbaseUGC.com or FoundryMissions.com etc...

JUNE/JULY MISSION REVIEWS


The Old OP.
I will get around to playing all of these in good time and hope you have all found a wonderful audience as well as learned many new skills. I however need to start with a new Slate.

    Hopefully I can start reviewing more missions too next week. Too much work at work right now.

    My mission is 'Maquis Arisen' ST-TMDVON7Z3

    Be as critical as you can, it'll help a lot when it comes to doing yet another update on it.
    Thanks in advance!

    First off, thanks for taking the time to review Foundry missions. It's a generous use of your time.

    I've take nan extended leave of absence from the Foundry, but have a little more time now and hope I can join you doing some reviewing.

    In the meantime, I'd appreciate any thought you have on the last mission I made:

    Thanks again, and take care

    Please no more missions Until I sort my new Reviewing System.

    Hi all,

    So some of you out there have called on my experience's to review and give feedback for missions. Unfortunately I can't keep up with all the different sprook threads on the forum. If you would like me to review your mission, place a post with the title and ID number in a reply. Please do not post a complete series. I will only do one mission per author at a time. I will post the feedback in this thread. If you don't want your feedback public please indicate so and I can create a google doc for you to collect any-time I'm in the starbase ugc chat room. . I am very critical and give my thoughts of the top of my head while I play. I will not get upset if you do not change things I'm not happy with or suggestions. All authors seek a response and that is what I'm here to deliver. Some missions I may request to Review, here are a couple I have done...

    Still needs allot of work. If your a first time user of foundry, very impressive.
    Currently not worth the play, but has allot of potential. I'd like to come back to this mission once remastered and it's been tweaked allot. Hook me up in a fort night for another play.

    {OTHERS}To the person Who sent me a PM, I started reading your message and then was going to come back to it, but think I deleted it during game-play accidentally. Please send your name and mission through again it sounded intriguing.

    Thanks. It was an early mission first drafted when the Foundry went live. I'm going to look at your feedback and certainly make some amends.

    While I kind of hate this "mission pimping" we have to do, there really is no other choice for exposure if you don't have an active Fleet willing to help on tribble.

    ...That being said, I would greatly appreciate some feedback on my second mission:
    Resting Raptors

    I've still got mixed feelings as to whether to make Foundry missions so opinions would be quite useful.

    Edit: Changed a few things already but will work on the dialogue bugs soon.

    I will check out your mission, tonight hopefully but tomorow for sure, and you've peaked my interest in 'what ferengi are made of'. That will be on my to do list now too.

    Cool, as I say..."I'm good at giving my opinion, but it's up to the author as to what they do with them." Unfortunately due to a Technical issues on my end, your review did become more of a, I'd change this or I would of done that.

    Be careful with playing my mission. It's a three parter. The first mission goes for about 10 minutes gets you hooked, then the second one goes for at least 30 minutes if your good with klingon enemy ground combat. Pluss it's still a final draft. The third part is not finished, Have been republishing them weekly, but we only have another week or so till foundry launch, so I don't know if it's worth putting in the effort to create the retrofit version of the final episode. This will become one mission once it hits Holodeck.

    I don't review in the hope or expectation that others play my missions, I enjoy making my missions and if only one person plays them and likes them I'm happy. It's the people who don't like my missions that I want to get a reason of why. So if you give me less than 3 stars expect a why? pm...

    'What are ferengi made of' is being upgraded after my review. Maybe You might like to ask him when would be a good time to play and give feedback.

    Look Forward to seeing more of your work.

    I just played the first of your missions, filbones, and it was a ton of fun. It was a little short, but your obviously a pro with the Foundry and that little sequence in the Captain's quarters on ESD was really cool. I also liked how you were able to keep the BOs out of that area. It was a little surpirsed to see the old ESD at the end of the mission. I didnt even know that model was in the Foundry for use, but it was nice to see it again. I'm looking forward to playing part 2 tomorrow :)

    Admittedly, it does start rather far from social zones. This is intended to reinforce the setting of the mission, but it's something that I might change if it does more harm than good.

    Thanks, it's great that you're helping out other authors with this.

    Thanks for playing. The dialog problem was having one bridge officer say all the dialog. But yes, the mission is meant to be heavy of the dialog. I was hoping that Trek fans wouldn't mind a little reading, but apparently ADD is too huge a problem with the young generation. I guess the mission is just too ambitious for the Foundry right now with the reach marker issues, and it didn't help that I used the worst map for NPC pathing.

    Whenever I do a character transfer from holodeck I can immediately play them on Tribble(or at least, by the time I log on). But your last sentence sounds like you may have resolved the problem :)

    I wouldn't worry about not having a fleet to play your missions. There will be far more players than Authors on Holodeck. You are not an average author so I can see your missions being played and loved on holodeck. I enjoyed this episode Immensely. Just a bit of polish and more thought towards the design needed. I would hate for you to not make any more missions. I want to play a prequel to this mission.

    It has the simple but good aspect I like so much. Other Authors that do this well are Galactrix and Highbone. Check out there work as I feel You would learn most from them.
