TOS Flavored Foundry Missions?

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
One of our fleet mates are looking for TOS Flavored 'Ground Combat Only' Foundry Missions out there
New to STO, my wife and I have started the normal campaign through Admiral Quinn together and have completed the 3rd mission 'Hide and Seek', but find the space combat a bit tedious .... Ground Combat missions are much more fun, so we are looking for the most TOS flavored ground combat missions in the foundry, but there are so many. We have tried a couple and they are pretty fun ... we think we're headed in the direction we want to go in ...

Has anyone got any suggestions for any TOS flavored, ground combat only missions from the foundry? - Thanks! - Darrin

Can I have some help out there from Foundry creators as well as people that have played lots of Foundry missions. This is a great guy that has made the game more fun for a lot of us through his enthusiasm.

    I'm still waiting for Horta npc costumes to do my TOS mission. I wonder if you can still costume the old STO Gorn in foundry. Okay you have inspired me. Thank you. Haven't wanted to make a mission in a long time.

    This guy is really worth it! He is SO happy with the game. Please let me know when you have come up with something ;)

    I will keep begging Cryptic to add some TOS tools and uniforms to the Foundry.

    All in all, there do seem to be tool advancements coming down the pike, but the company representatives are reluctant to say exactly when those new features will be available to the STO team members so that they can inject those new features into the Foundry while keeping the tool stable.

    SO here is what I'm working on. King Kong with Gorn. It will be a fun Holodeck mission with reference to previous series I did called The Fun House in which Gollos Vell Creates puzzel type holodeck missions in which you always check out when you return to ESD. But this time you have asked Gollos Vell to create a program based on a mythical Orion bedtime story. Where a Starfleet Captain set in the TOS error has to go and find an Orion princess/diplomat/chancellor. She has been taken by the leader of one of the three Gorn planets who has fallen in love with her. The gorn is of the more primitive species of Gorn and is at war with the other two factions. You must during a civil war, extract the Orion Princess and return her to her people. Lots of room for Orion and Gorn Cannon as well as folk lore. I just haven't really carved out the Gorn King Kong character as I want him to be the focal point of the story.

    Thoughts? Happy for this to become a Collaborative effort.?

    Hey, I got the links to the 3 you sent yesterday and we'll try those tonight! ... I also see the Foundry is BABY toys compared to the game editors Jessica and I have used in the past ... in minutes I was fighting TOS Klingons on a strange planet ..... we need a connie bridge to choose from the bridges ... they have a several, but they are all newer bridges ..... I'll dive in more later! - Thanks JB! - I'll be in touch later tonight!

    If there is anyone out there that feels that they have played or created a TOS flavoured (Flavoured) Foundry Mission please let us know. We will be doing a tour of them all over the next few weeks. If not peppermint flavoured would do!

    Probably the best TOS mission that I played had to do with the Oracle from the World is Hollow. Can someone please remind me what mission that is? I know that it was from a regular at sbugc, and it irks me that I can't remember. Was it Bazag?

    Anyways, you might also like my "Slaves and Seductions." My fav review: "This reeks of TOS!"

    Yes! ... to make TOS flavored episodes, we're gonna need to use the TOS bundle connie bridge (and other decks/rooms that come with it ) and that's about it! - that's all we need! ...

    I knew about the G of F map ... and am saving it for a real special TOS flavored mission when I really know how to use the foundry to it's fullest ..... Glad you mentioned Drozana Station assets .... I did not know about them (or what they are) but I will look for them if they are TOS! .... and will use them for my next mission for sure! ... I just googled Drozana Station and saw the 1st image ... WOW wish I had used THAT map in my 1st mission! I'm gonna make something today just to see it! - looks GREAT! - thank you!


    Any other real TOS looking enviroments to use in the foundry?

    I still hope that they are planning on teh TOS upgrades to the Foundry
    We’re already at work on the design of Season 6, which is being targeted for a June release.... We’re looking at doing some major upgrades on some key parts of the game. Foundry, PvP, and crafting are scheduled to get significant improvements, and there should also be some new features such as a fleet advancement system.

    Interesting .... How long ago was that? ... I feel TOS has been almost forgotten about in STO .... It's tough to make a TOS experience in STO ... I have all my BOs as TOS cast, but you can't get too far with the Connie, you never actually use the bridge and BO's like in Bridge Commander (stupid waste of graphics time) ... and if you ask me ... there should be a choice of ESD ... You should be able to choose a TOS version of ESD, as well as K7 etc .... there should be a TOS alternative universe .... ALL TOS everywhere you look from the chairs to the transporters .... They have like 50 ESDs .. ONE could be all TOS couldn't it? Would that hurt? - You'de see it more than the TOS bridge that I payed $ for and never use or see ..... venting , Sorry! - LAterZ! - Darrin

    One of the good things is that no matter what ship you have you can use the TOS bridge on. If you have the defiant you can beem onto your TOS bridge. I am sure that they will get there with the new upgrades but I don't think they will ever have a functional "bridge commander" bridge. Just DOFF and BOFF admin and things like that. I would like to see warping from the bridge with cool star effects. They could do that easily.

    I think that the ship interior was just an add-on when people wanted to roleplay. They gave them the bridge, then the ship interior and then people wanted it functional. It was never meant to be a Bridge Commander setup. It is sad b/c I really think that works best for Star Trek :)

    Watched TOS last night and realized a LOT of what happens in a TOS episode/story happens on the ship! ... Hopefully they will open that up to us soon!

    Jessica nad I are 1/2 way through the Klingon missions and all ready the Connie is getting too weak .... Sure wish they would do like you posted, and make them upgradeable, because I REALLY like seeing hers and mine when in space combat! ... But I now have the refit and it's faster and stronger .... we really just go through the space combat just to get to the ground combat which we wish there was more of, and not the other way around ..... Did you try my mission under new? it's called TOS the dog some Bones .... give it a try!

    TTYL! - Darrin
