Your favorite Foundry AUTHORS?

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Everyone has a favorite mission. How about your favorite Author?

Maybe it's one author that puts out a bunch of missions you enjoy, or maybe it's one that put out a one-hit wonder that you really liked. Either way, you recall the mission enough to remember the person's @name.

So let's have it. What are your favorite authors?

    @alimac30. Best Foundry Missions created to date! =)

    If i had to pick one?

    Cerritouru: respected author and android enthusiast... Heck, i'd choose him for his choice of MACO uniforms in the mission 'Surrounded' alone! (they look like Jean Paul Gaultier designed them and this amused me no end) :p

    Who says stone cold borg killers can't be stylish??

    Also, he was the first among the foundry community to give my mission a chance even though it was horrendously long when it 1st came out! :o

    Hey, I never said you just had to pick one! Throw as many as you like, as long as they're your favorites!

    Omg! Thank you! I am really proud! And your mission is one of the best, so I am glad to be there in the correct time!

    About the topic, is hard to tell, there so many excelents authors, Pure_big is one of them, Alimac, Sovereign77x, KineticImpulser, Nagorak, Leviathan99 and I could be all day doing this and still miss some good author. So, that is why, I am just going to thank you all the players that made any foundry mission and to the players that support them!

    I'll join in the mutual-adoration-fest here for a minute...

    I've played many of the story-based Foundry missions that pop up on the forums or StarbaseUGC. I've enjoyed most of them immensely. I've been privileged to assist two of the community's finest non-native-English speaking authors polish up their text.

    But two authors really stick out.

    Kirkfat's "Return to Terra Nova" is a future episode of Star Trek begging to be made for TV or film.

    And my nine-year old thought RogueEnterprise's "First Cause, Then Effect" was the Coolest. Thing. EVAR! He played it first and told me I had to try it. You blow up my ship ON PURPOSE. Genius.

    Sweet, my missions are hits with 9 year olds! =D

    I think amongst my favorites would be Captain_Revo of "Worst of Both Worlds" fame. Sort of an oldie but goodie at this point, but all of his missions are consistently of high quality.

    He usually has the attention span of a hyperactive chihuahua drinking espresso/red bull cocktails.

    But he played yours all the way through. :)

    Alimac30 is my favorite author at present. It's a hard pick though, plenty of awesome authors abound in the Foundry community.

    I'll put in a few votes as well.

    1. Duke-of-Rock and his Spawn of Medusa series and Omega Directive Revisited mission.
    2. RogueEnterprise and his missions.
    3. Capt.PFDennis and his many missions

    I know I'm missing a lot, but these are probably my most favorites. I look forward to adding to this list
    in the future as well. :)

    @Alimac
    @RogueEnterprise

    I admit ive not played the foundry as much as i should recently so off the top of my head those two are at the top. I know there are a couple of other but their names escape me.

    ^---- This guy.

    I know there are plenty of authors out there that I can count on for engaging story, good non-combat focused missions, or a creative story.

    But if I want to play a single, stand alone, mission that is completely solid and feels like Trek; I know all I need to do is search for Revo. That qualifies as favorite for me.

    Would like to try and revive this thread... what with F2P happening and whatnot, I was wondering if any new authors has caught anyone's eye?

    Haven't played that many yet, but I can tell you I've definitely struck on some great ones!

    XR-377 because "A Will and a Barclay"

    The.Grand.Nagus because The Dailies are beyond useful

    Captain_Revo because "The Worst of all Worlds" can't wait to try the sequel!

    RogueEnterprise because "Good Intentions" and "First Cause, then Effect"

    I look forward to checking more of your missions!

    I should really finish my first so I can throw it up here on the forums...

    I really liked that one...just played it today and honestly it's only the third Foundry mission I've tried but it was polished. I didn't see any blatant typos, or godawful dialogue, or any problems, really.

    The other two - which I won't name - were full of superfluous dialogue that was badly in need of an editor and numerous bugs despite being among the highest-rated missions out there.

    FCTE felt professionally-done. I used to beta-test lots of community missions for Operation Flashpoint and I found that's where most fell flat...not that the mission itself was bad, but that it lacked polish to the point where you knew you were beta-testing something made by a fan and it hurt the immersion.

    Haven't played many Foundry missions... but here are my favorite Foundry Authors:

    @Captain_Revo
    And the one who made the "Deadly Intentions" series. (Forgot his name)

    Oh... and DEFINITELY @alimac30

    I hope he publishes a sequel to "City Of Polmar Ree".

    Captain_Revo.

    His mission design is to the Featured Episodes what a dry rub is to a fat back rib.

    So, it's been a while, and I've seen some new faces crop up and some old ones return. So I ask you, who are your current favorite authors??

    -Nagorak
    -Kirkfat
    -Alimac30

    There are several others who are top but I feel these three are true pillars.

    Alright. This is difficult, to say the least, but Alimac30, RogueEnterprise, Castmodean, Cerberusfilms, Leviathan99, and Evil70th come to mind, for Fed missions and Bazag has made some impressive KDF missions that are always fun to play. I know I'm missing a few, but I'll add them as I think of them. I haven't had a chance to play alot of them lately, but I still must play one weekly for BitesizeUGC, so I'm sort of "in the loop" :D.

    I really like @chooch99's stuff - he has a good mixture of quirkiness and StarTrekiness and good old fashioned poignancy at times, too.

    I have also really enjoyed the work of (I think) either @itsfullofstars or @mygoditsfullofstars, especially their Foundry Challenge #1 entry.

    On a personal note, I would like to see a lot more comedy/parody type stuff out there. :)
