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 will keep begging Cryptic to add some TOS tools and uniforms to the Foundry.
Thoughts? Happy for this to become a Collaborative effort.?

and are looking for ground combat only TOS flavored missions to do together ... . use brains and shoot .... I am going into the mission making end of the foundry for first time right now to see if there is anything TOS looking to use to make missions ourselves .... desperate for TOS gameplay!
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!
Let me know if you need any help, or alternatively you could check out www.starbaseugc.com

Super! - We'll take a break from foundry and play a bit! - Wife and I are learning foundry together .... we have all the elements in place ... just having a bit of a time with the diologe / map changes ....
Thanks for the tips on TOS flavored missions! - Darrin
Hey James! - The new TOS flavored mission that Jessica and I worked on all week is done and goes great! - I would like to invite you to play it with me or us tonight ... what do you say? - Then I want to play all the other TOS ones you have collected the names of ... we have a few written down that look like they could be good too! ... Later?
That sounds great!! I am ready to play it! I will keep pushing to allow the TOS stuff in the Foundry.
Don't forget the Drozana Station assets, and the Guardian of Forever...
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 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
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
