Which essentially is wrong because its discriminatory towards authors and creates elitism within the Foundry rather then equality amongst authors.
So the Oscars are discriminatory to B-Movie Actors, writers and producers since only the top budgeted movies win Oscars.
The Hugo awards are discriminatory towards Fantasy authors since they're only awarded to Sci-Fi authors.
You've basically just said that because something doesn't fall within the rules of the competition it's being discriminated against. It's been clear from start of the Foundry Spotlight that it is an award for good mission design and story writing.
If you feel that other missions should be promoted above the ones Brandon has chosen make your case, right now though you're lashing out at Brandon and the people supporting Brandon because of something you feel is unfair when in reality it's actually far fairer than some other systems that have tried to use player votes to promote missions to be spotlight like.
CoX's Mission Architect got missions promoted after I believe 1000 votes with an average rating of 4.5+. The moment one got promoted hundreds of angry authors would jump on it and 1 star it until it no longer qualified for the promotion and got knocked back down.
There's also the fact that right now, to some of the Foundry authors who've been Spotlighted, the Spotlighting of their mission is more a curse than a blessing, because they can't update it as new tech is added to the Foundry and have a mission slot locked off which they don't currently get replaced.
But as always, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence for some people.
Maybe so, but the Foundry Spotlight under Stormshade was just a way of bringing good missions too light. It's only under Brandon that the Spotlight has gained the extra rewards and recognition with a special page in the Foundry menu for them.

I am not lashing out and this is not the Oscars, despite the fact that the same thing happens and people that don't deserve awards usually get them, the same as people who don't deserve to be famous and rich usually are...
cough Katie Price cough...
That is beside the point, and do not accuse me of bashing Brandon because I do not know the guy personally so I cannot comment. However it is the way the system seems, with several of the "favorite" authors get promoted multiple times while the rest of us fall by the wayside since our contributions to the foundry are not wanted or overlooked.
Promoting one mission over another is not fair, not if exactly equal thought and development time has been put into it. Brandon cannot simply play ALL the missions on the Foundry, that's impossible so the system is not fair and is biased.
Saying I'm attacking Brandon is not negating that fact... it makes it all the more prevalent because you cannot come back with a reasonable defense.

There are only a couple authors that have had more than one mission featured; I really try to avoid this, but some missions are just too good to not feature. There are also plenty of authors on the spotlight list I linked above that are not well known in the community. I really do look for new and upcoming authors and missions to spotlight.
I wanted to get some numerical data on the Foundry spotlight winners and saw that of the 34 spotlighted missions so far, there's only been 3 duplicate authors (for each of them to have 2 episodes: Captain_Revo, drkfrontiers, and soriedem). Considering half the spotlight episodes are KDF, note that those 3 authors have 5 of their 6 spotlight missions for KDF -- which I'm confident has fewer episodes in general to pick from and thus a high quality mission has an easier chance of standing out.
So that's 34 episodes for 31 people. I think BranFlakes has been more than fair in getting a wide range of different authors.
So my congratulations to Aavarius, AdmiralMurphy, Alen_de_jour, Alimac30, Bazag, Capt.PFDennis, Captain_Revo, Castomodean, CheRoj, Darren_Kitlor, DenizenVI, drkfrontiers, Drogyn1701, Duke-of-Rock, Evil70th, Galactrix, Havraha, HippieJohn, Kirkfat, Maziken, Meth_Shadowstorm, milesredria, mygod_itsfullofstars, Netherblood, RachelGarrett, RogueEnterprise, Seancy8512, soriedem, Tiuz, woghd, and XR-377 for being spotlighted and best of luck to those who wish to get spotlighted in the future.
Promoting one mission over another is not fair, not if exactly equal thought and development time has been put into it. Brandon cannot simply play ALL the missions on the Foundry, that's impossible so the system is not fair and is biased.
My recent Spotlight took me over 8 months to complete the 5-part series, and nearly a month of editing the video. I spent hundreds of hours working on the script, and the idea.
I did this because I truly love what it is that the Foundry allows me to do, when I am taking a break from PvP.
I must say, as a member of the STO community, I am downright horrified at the number of threatening and abusive mails I have been receiving through You Tube, insulting me personally and my effort. Fortunately I have received numerous letters of appreciation from You Tube for my promotion of STO, and they were kind enough to block the accounts from further abuse.
I agree and I feel that its not needed because its promoting "elitism" to the Foundry and we have enough of that in PvP. Plus, everyone has different opinions about missions so why is it needed, especially if Cryptic are trying to rope you into playing it because they offer "MORE" rewards then standard Foundry missions.
So what is the point? Its a system full of individual bias and it really cannot be said otherwise.
The obscure bits are usually the best and most interesting parts, it what sets apart a true hardcore Star Trek fan from a normal casual fan.
Ultimately, "good" and "bad" in a creative context are a matter of opinion.
Equality is an illusion. It'll never happen because players are free to choose not to play a mission. It doesn't really matter why they don't.
I agree with Bluedarky. Spotlights are about recognizing things that are better than average. trying to force equality into consideration is futile. The point of Spotlights is that it's inherently inequal.

Then its not really worth doing anything on the Foundry, not to compete with Cryptic's rat race for popularity. I mean, it defeats the whole point of the Foundry... but what am I? Just a small player in the 2 Million or so players (probably not that but 2 million Captains, dunno about accounts) who think that equality is part of the ideals of the Federation and something to aspire to. I do not really expect a game made purely for profit to live up to my expectations.
I just wanted to see more variety in the missions featured, not the same authors... that is all. Some more controversial choices would be good and not just missions that overly indulge Cryptic's poorly written fan-fiction which is the story of this game.
Rat race? If your goal as a Foundry author is to get featured.... you're setting the bar too high for yourself.
And Define "more variety" as-is only a few authors have been featured more than once.
Well no, because the missions already featured were not much different then run-of-the-mill Cryptic variations. Well I do not see why authors have to be mentioned more then once anyway, its not exactly fair to somebody else who might be their first time getting mentioned.
Mission-quality aside, I just do not think its fair for one person's opinion, regardless of who it is to affect the popularity of a mission. I know there were quite a few people saying that "Battleship Royal Rumble" should have received spotlight with over 2000 reviews which is more then the current featured spotlight mission had.
However because Bran thought that he knew what was best for the community, he decided to ignore calls to feature this mission. This is exactly what I am talking about, if it does not fit in with the overblown Cryptic canon then they just simply ignore it.
While people with distinctively average missions (not to name names) get featured more then once. So what is the criteria and why is it so subjective to Bran's opinion being the only one that matters? Is he the authority on Star Trek or am I missing something here?
I am holding that up as more "controversial" titles... there are others that do effectively provide alternate explanations of STO's universe other then Cryptic's and these are fundamentally ignored.
(*Disclaimer: I have not played "Battleship Royal Rumble" so I am unable to comment on the quality of the mission or provide an opinion on it.)

Brandon's stated in other threads that whilst it is a well crafted mission it doesn't qualify for the Spotlight as the Spotlight is for story missions. He'd already checked it before and tbh if people can get Brandon to cave to pier pressure in concern to the Spotlight, that'll be the end of me doing any new Spotlights.
The reason for this is simple, it starts with him caving to one mission, then another, soon the story missions have dropped off due to people demanding more and more grinders like BRR to be spotlighted.
It ends with him caving to pier pressure to ban certain people from the forums, I've been in forums where it's happened, it's not pretty and I'm glad that Brandon seems to be above that.

Well then it would be better to just drop the spotlight all together and eliminate the problem.
Well then it would be better to just drop the spotlight all together and eliminate the problem.
I've thought long and hard about how to respond to this, I almost didn't but I finally decided what to say and how.
I disagree.
The spotlight does have rules that aren't to everyone's taste, it does have us beholden to one master in Branflakes. But it's something more than just a token award for making what Brandon views as a good mission, it's a start to seeing more player - Cryptic/PWE relationships ingame.
If they decide the spotlight is a failure and pull it then that might be it, it could signal the end to dev ran events ingame altogether, no more PvP events, no more random PvE events, just increasing the silence between the Company and the Players.
But if it keeps on going, if it proves to be popular then it could increase the player - company interaction. Which would only enrich the game and attract more players to all aspects of it.
The Foundry Spotlight is currently one of the only regular dev run events in the game, removing it could only hurt the game, keeping it could make it so much greater.
Well then it would be better to just drop the spotlight all together and eliminate the problem.
The Foundry was designed for players to tell stories. Spotlight selection is based on story, whether it contains a lot of combat or not.
There is no problem to be solved in this regard. If you don't like the spotlight missions, don't play them. There is no reason to drop them for everybody else.
If you want one of your missions spotlighted, write story missions (which can be filled with as much combat as you want). But it will be the quality of the story that carries weight in the choice, not just how much loot one can achieve.
If you manage to tie the two together in a substantive way, great.
I do think Cryptic would serve the Foundry community better by adding a Tabs that allow the author to chose which Tab he'd like a piece of content to appear in, and there shpould be a tab that contains and sorts through just such 'reward focused' and another that just sorts through 'story focused' -- and let the potential player of the Foundry decide what he wants to play in his STO session.
This has been my thought since the "exploits" came out. I could give a Epohhs behind if they exist or not, regardless if I like them or not, but seperate them from the story content. Combat/Grind missions in one tab, Story based content on another. Too many story missions are getting buried far underneath the ocean of grinders.
So what is the point of the rest of us making missions? Because at the moment, I am not sure if the Foundry is nothing more then a promotion tool for future Cryptic mission developers? How can such a hopelessly biased system work?
As one being honored to be chosen as having a spotlight mission, I can assure you I will never be, nor have any desire to be a "future Cryptic mission developer" as you have asserted in your comments. I build my maps and write my stories for my enjoyment and the hope that it gives enjoyment to others. I would continue to do this even if my mission was never selected for a spotlight. It was an honor that Branflakes found my story and my use of the toolset worthy. So if you see the spotlight as a way to promote future Cryptic employees, you can exclude me from that list. I am perfectly happy in my chosen career.
Also, if the numbers I see are correct at 34 spotlighted missions, at 1 mission per week, less the weeks here and there where they did not run it, that would make roughly 50 spotlights within a years time. If only 3 authors were chosen twice, and with the KDF Foundry missions (of which there are far fewer) being in the mix, I don't see any brand of favoritism being involved. Heck, I only know five or six of the other spotlight authors personally through the game and from SBUGC aside from a forum post here and there. I would hardly call that a "clique" out of the number of spotlights. Some folks enjoy my style of mission, some do not, but I will continue regardless of the results as it is what I enjoy.

I just wanted to chime in regarding the Foundry.
I'm a new author. I have one mission published. I've only spent a few weeks on it, and it shows. I was thinking about really putting time into it and making it spotlight worthy, but after reading that I can't edit anymore, I'm not sure I want to. Don't get me wrong, I still want to spend time on it and improve it, I'm just not sure I want to spotlight it.
Either way, what I wanted to say is that even without promotion, missions can get exposure.
I believe I only told two people I know irl about it (of whom I'm not even sure have played it yet). I didn't post here or at StarbaseUGC. Yet I have received over 200 reviews in the few months it's been out. Most of which has been positive. I'm actually surprised I got that many. I made no promotions about it at all (mostly because it's my first and I'm 'shy', as one person mentioned). I would mention the name now, but I'm having issues with patrol pathing in the S7 update, so I don't want anyone playing it with that bug in it (unfortunately that particular issue doesn't appear when editing, only after publishing).
EDIT: FYI Cryptic, I'd like to see contact NPC's with pathing (at least when not used in the current objective)!
So people do look, and find them.
Little off-topic: no offense to Kirkfat, but I can't stand StarbaseUGC. I haven't used it for looking for missions, but I tried to use it to learn the foundry. I didn't even know until today that there are a few written tutorials for the foundry (I prefer those to videos). Plus finding help is difficult. I ended up going to Google and Youtube to find what I wanted. Plus the site is really busy--too much stuff showing on a page (banners and side-bars). It's kind of an eyesore. The STOWiki on the other hand is great. IMO, I'd like to see a wiki-style set up for the tutorials. There seems to be a lot of useful information on there, it just needs to be organized better.
This is just my opinion, supplying feedback as a newbie foundry author.
EDIT: I just saw that I have 1 post. Well, that's not right.

There's also the fact that right now, to some of the Foundry authors who've been Spotlighted, the Spotlighting of their mission is more a curse than a blessing, because they can't update it as new tech is added to the Foundry and have a mission slot locked off which they don't currently get replaced.
But as always, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence for some people.
