We really do need to know if this event covers any User Generated Content beyond those found in the Foundry Spotlight? I'd love for that Spotlight page to become tabbed by faction. Each list may continue to get longer. But we shouldn't need to scroll down so many pages.
By the way, what happened to RachelGarrett's The Longing? Was that not our very first spotlight?
This should count for every qualifying mission, meaning that any foundry mission that offers standard rewards should count. The spotlights will still offer extra dilithium once a day per toon.
If the mission has the gold disclaimer, it should count for marks.
Like other spotlights, the Longing may have been broken, although I remember it being spotlighted prior to the real spotlights, but it was not truly spotlighted (spotlit?), iirc.
I may be busy with RL stuff on Saturday and Sunday, but I can definitely spend some time running Sword of the Kuvah'Magh for the 100th time on Thursday or Friday.
I swear, it's like I'm addicted to that mission. The shattered 4th wall, the genre savvy, the jokes about "Tier 2 Saber-class escort" and "white-quality gear", and the Worst. Klingon. EVER. make it just a ton of fun. I've taken to using it to test out my Fed builds; if I get blown up in it, my build is pants and I go back to the drawing board.

99% of these missions no longer qualify for foundry rewards so they won't give the marks box anyways
Zorby, look at the lists. Quite a few of those loot farmzerszerz missions count.
I guess the longer story missions still have an advantage of rewarding more dilithium. Not a lot of extra dilithium though, compared to other ways to earn it.
hence the word "Qualifying" in most cases this would be a mission that qualifies the within the time frame and other qualities that was stated so long ago by Cryptic, this means you can not pick a "press this button" or pew pew this ship and your done here is your reward mission.
But since I have so many toons and it takes me some time to do the Mirror event I will prolly end up skipping this until its next go around. Sorry foundry authors but the event take priority with me this time but to let you all know I do play foundry and enjoy it very much, all who put in the effort to make awesome missions keep up the good work.

The six-episode series is now complete. If you want to see what some of your fellow players thought about the first five episodes, here are 2 trailers that highlight a few of the reviews:
About damn time! Whyever did pwe/cryptic wait so long to do this?
And while I'm in the area, when will the Foundry Missions be tabbed and sorted properly so the exploit farm missions get shoved to the bottom of the listings?
A six year old boy and his starship. Living the dream.
now cryptic, you are spoiling us too much.
lavishing all of these fantastic events on us is so generous of you, I just don't know what to do next sometimes what with dilithium, marks, xp and now more marks for foundry not to mention the fan-dabi-dosi mirror event.
sometimes I just think my head will explode from all the excitement, that's if my keyboard doesn't melt first.
thanks again guys, your the best.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

When Caitians and Ferasans get actual hair for once.
Hahaha! Yeah, it actually is really good. Is that series done yet so I can star playing it?!
Yep. Overture 6: FINALE with Cannonade. Enjoy with my compliments. And a bowl of popcorn. And probably some water. And loose fitting clothes. And probably one of those bead-chair-covering things. It's not a short series.
Sorry to dampen your drive for MMO efficiency. If you ever take a break from grinding, you might suddenly feel like it's Star Trek.
I wish I could take a break from all the grind, but alas the game itself won't let me. Fleet holdings perpetually stuck at T3 because of ridiculously high resource requirements don't leave much free time to enjoy story driven content.
Oh, and this game stopped feeling like Star Trek about 3 seasons ago.

Take a break. Seriously. I refuse to do all the fleet holding stuff for my entire fleet. If you're letting the grind overtake you, take a break from it. If you want the shinies: go buy from another fleet (you can do that ya know). If the game ever feels more like a job than having fun, you're chosing to let it be that way.
My fleet has basically stopped progress now, but thats because we can buy what we need from other fleets. Now we have time to do things for ourselves like play Foundry missions or RPing.
At the end of the day: grinds may be a big part of the game, but they only overwhelm you if you let them do that.
Last task for today (notice the time stamp... yawn... smirk sleepy)
This is the response I have received RE: Bonus Rewards scaling.
The rewards are varied by how long the Foundry Mission lasts, from 30 marks for a 15 minute, 60 for 30 minute and 90 for 45+ minutes, and the reward scales in between those ranges as well.
Hopefully this clarifies for everyone. If not, let me know what pretty font colors I can add to make it all better.

Kind of low compared to the PvE stuff, but it's nice that it all scales.
That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.

I take particular glee in that all the 1 and 2 star reviews have typos. And no, I did not add them in post-production.
