Access Foundry Missions Though Holodecks?

ussfury

There is a holodeck on our Starbase. One on Bajor (if I remember correctly) and in general I have come across holodecks here and there. But they do nothing. Just a big, empty holodecky looking room.

If they aren't going to be used for anything, can we at least access Foundry missions from the holodecks? It seems like a natural fit, as the foundry missions aren't canon and considered not "official".

It seems like a natural mechanic to enter a holodeck, pick a "scenario" and play away.

What'dya say?

Perhaps an intermediary step before they implement such a large change as what you are proposing*.

Have the Holodeck be an interactive area that you can perform different functions in, for rewards such as fleet marks, Romulan marks, Nukara marks, ECs, gear, the rare special reward, etc. All you have to do is walk in, hope you don't interrupt Worf's calinesthetics program, choose from a randomly cycling menu of holoprograms, and start it up (cue map change).

*Currently, to start a Foundry mission, you must head to an already designated start point, such as the infamous wall console on ESD. Having that line of code rewritten so every Foundry mission in existence can also be started from a different location would be an arduous task. Not to mention when someone finds a loophole in Cryptic's coding.
