The Mirror Ships are only summoned by the Rifts that occasionally spawn from Tholian Warp Core Breeches. It's not an ability they can initiate on their own, nor is it something that happens with much frequency. It happens only upon the moment of their death.
OMG that is actually kinda cool, creative juices flowing!... What kind of core would cause this? (A Dimensionally Shifted Tricobalt Reactor)?
I'm kinda regretting my sequel idea now, all my ideas arn't compatible lol

A query about the Rights which I think I know the answer to but wanted to make certain...
In STO Leonard Nemoys Voice is used and soon Denise Crosby however you don't see Spocks Face... Those that mean if the Original Enterprise (For Example) makes an appearance like in "Past Perfect" I can have Dialogue from Spock but no Face!??
Also what about Scotty and Mckoy, they are both in the game, can we use their likeness?

7. Could I write a mission in which the player opens a channel and has a long, drawn out conversation with Picard? I would use a costume of a ship to represent him in the popup dialog.
Nothing in the EULA prevents this. Please refer to the EULA for a list of Star Trek Properties.
yes that's allowed. (and you do see spock's face in the opening video :P)
Smart A**e lol
Great now I'm gonna be spending HOURS getting it right! lol
I'm gonna be soo sick of Nemoys face! lol

But remember you can't use a face that looks substantially like Nimoy's. He might have given likeness rights to Cryptic, but that doesn't cover us as I understand it. McCoy and Scotty in game don't look at all like the actors (even with the actors being deceased, I imagine their estates could sue) nor does old man Worf.
hmmm so.. the explosion opens a rift to the mirror universe drawing in a ship alligned to the terrans... so.. if 2 of the same ships were to explode in both unvierse at the same time.. we would have a doorway back and fourth between the mirror and prime universes...
hmmm thats something I could work with at a later date.
Okay the Mirror ship that spawns is technically "Tholian" is that to stop them from shooting the Tholians or will we get more specifics on that later (captured mirror ships, terran-tholian alliance, etc?) ?

No; likenesses are not allowed in Foundry missions. Worf is available because it's not a likeness to Michael Dorn (i.e. you can't tell that Worf is Michael Dorn).

One more then I'll drop it lol
Would these Spocks be ok?... I basically copied the one In-Game and then aged him, I even changed a couple of the facial to make it 'less' like Nemoy!
I'm only making a fuss because it was going to be a cool cameo to liven up a battle.

No; they wouldn't be okay. Any vulcan male you make with the name Spock is going to have likeness issues. I would come up with something else to be safe -- maybe a long lost descendant or family member of Spock.

I think life would be a lot easier for you and authors if you guys could toss a bunch of prefab characters into the Foundry contact costumes (ie. Worf, S1 Worf, assorted Klingons, etc.) and then took the more clear stance of, "Don't remake characters seen onscreen in the IP unless we provide you with one."
Maybe have a special naming convention.
Like:
"Canon - Worf - 2409"
That might mess with my Picard mission (where I tried to hide it from looking like Patrick Stewart) but it would be clearer.
Then again, to make it explicit, you could add:
"Canon - Picard - 2409" and just have it be a male in an EV suit. And "Canon - Picard - TNG Era" as a generic male in a First Contact EV suit.
There ya go. If all uses of characters from the shows have to be from a Cryptic-approved costume list, all you do then is supply generic EV suits with the name attached. So authors know, "Okay. I can use Worf but he has to be wearing a Cryptic approved costume. I can use Picard but the only approved costumes have him in EV suits."
Not even if it's the same model used in Cryptic STO missions for Sela? Cutting the Cord has a dialogue box for Sela, complete with visual.
Re-quoting myself: If it looks like someone, don't use it. I'm not 100% sure, as I am no lawyer, but we may have special authorization to use it and that authorization can not be given to Foundry authors. In the end, just don't risk it and don't use it if it looks like someone. Again, going off the EULA FAQ thread, characters who were in makeup and costumes where you can not tell who they really are (i.e. their likenss, e.g. Worf) should be okay.

Last I checked, Leonard Nimoy did not have pointed ears. :P
But yeah, I get it, no obvious likeness to real people. It's a shame, but I guess if I were in their position, I wouldn't want my likeness made public either.
And I think the Tholian Tetryon Grid is the straight shield that is sometimes created by the bigger Tholian ships, but that may just be coincidence with a different ability.

Also, those "Heavy Disruption Torpedoes" are really just Thermionic Torpedoes with High Yield enabled, right?
