Hi Captains!
The team and I wanted to let you all know about some important information about the Foundry and the launch of Season 6.
Currently, while we republish all missions made prior to launch, all access to the Foundry is off. This includes editing and playing. Once the republish process is complete, we will allow access to playing Foundry missions again. When we do, the ability to review missions will be temporarily disabled since we don't want Foundry authors to suffer from any possible decline in rating caused simply by the Season 6 changes.
We hope to have editing, playing and reviewing back up very shortly, and will provide updates in this thread as they become available. Also, we will be delaying this week's Spotlight on the Foundry until next Friday, where we will pick up again with the next spotlighted Federation mission.
Foundry authors: I made a forum post earlier in a week that gave a heads up on some important items -- you can check it out here. If you notice any unexpected issues that are not covered in that post, please let us know by commenting in that thread.
Thanks again and we'll see you in-game!
Cheers,
Brandon =/\=

This is an excellent question. Seems that PW has really dropped the ball on this one. So when will the game be back online?
It's day time for someone at any given time in STO, so doing it at any point on the clock would disrupt it for someone somewhere. Secondly, it had to be day time US as they needed to tie in with other networks / businesses etc.. so had to be done when each of them had staff in office.
I find it funny that some complain that there is not enough content in the game, and then on the flip side of that, there are people that complain when the servers are offline, while new content is put in.... they cant win..

why? they are safeguarding the missions so we dont run into the problems we had before. losing the foundry for a short period of time is better than authors getting one stars everywhere and people wasting their time playing broken missions.
this is a positive move and i applaud it.
As of now (12:46 PM Eastern Time)?
It isn't, unfortunately.
Yeah, if anything it's the opposite of "The fail continues", because it's a solution to previous instances of alleged "fail". It's frustrating as I held off until after Season 6 before finishing my first mission, but I'm so, so glad I did. With even more bits I'll be able to put even mooaarrr on maps.:D
I know what you mean.
Now that it finally is, once the Foundry goes back up, I'll change my original first mission and now I get to expand on it!
As far as I'm concerned, for all they're adding into the Foundry [especially those items that should've been there a long time ago] and all they're doing to upgrade it, they can take as long as they want.
Any updates yet?
On a personal note, I would really love to have Foundry back on for the weekend.
Same here, want on foundry to continue my mission.
if you see this, that was resolved about a week ago. Look under the User CP in the left column.
Either that or it's Friday night?
Sorry, the silence is unintended

Good to hear, take your time, as long as it works okay when you're done
Oh I agree with you there, they should safeguard the missions members have made.
Just a shame they couldn't have taken another week to do the season 6 update to make sure at no point content was removed while they "work stuff out"..
That's pretty much par-for-the-course when it comes to Cryptic.
Doesn't matter if the builds on Tribble is full of bugs, and half-broken features. They'll push it to Holodeck anyways, no matter what. They have their own schedule of doing things, and even if we provide tons of feedback, most of it goes ignored.
Ooh, yay!
I'll delete that part from my signature now. lol
It does not quite work like that. they said they have run testes on tribble and internally and everything looked fine. theoretically it should work but when it goes live there is no guarantee that it will work exactly like it did in testing.
even if they delayed it by a month the potential for something to go wrong remains.
