Foundry Weekend: Mission List

borrowedtuneborrowedtune Member Posts: 138 Arc User
Greetings Captains.

As you all know, it's Foundry Weekend. Please use this thread to tell everyone about a good Foundry mission you played this weekend. Feel free to write as much or as little as you want about the mission you played but do try to include the name of the mission and the author's @handle.

Please, stay on topic by only posting missions you played and liked. If you are a Foundry author, do not post your own mission. Hopefully, this thread will be filled with posts by "regular" players helping to spread the word about their favorite Foundry authored content. Can I enforce this rule? No. But I know who most of you are and if you post your own mission, I will certainly give you a stern look next time I see you. :P

So, let's have some fun. What Foundry mission did you play today?

    Thanks for playing foundry weekend. Please write down the names of the spotlight authors you like. Most of us have many more missions that never get plays, because the UI lists are so bad, limited, and stuffed full of loot farms.

    You can custom search an author and play all of his or her missions.

    The Spotlight list is an excellent place to start.

    But there are many, MANY more great missions hidden away in the Foundry.

    Here's a great source of terrific missions once you've done all the Spotlights: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=286621 :)

    That will keep most people busy way beyond the Foundry Weekend. :P

    Link swap!

    Also, everyone out there who is frustrated with trying to find missions, please chime in on Captain.Hunter's proposal for a revamp:

    Here are some of the great missions we've reviewed on The Foundry Roundtable. It would be difficult to check all of them to see if they qualify for rewards, so please check that to your own satisfaction. I picked ones that we reviewed last year so hopefully they all qualify by now if they didn't when we played them. Plus more great missions listed in my sig.

    Survival Must Be Earned by Malize
    Uncharted by kiloace (aka aceman97)
    Uprising Part I: Off the Grid by maninblack017
    Uprising Part II: The Tempest by maninblack017
    Mayhem Ep 1: Cute Fuzzy Things by Hippiejohn
    Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey by Bazag
    No Prize for Second Contact by councilspectre
    A Will and a Barclay by XR-377
    Traitor's Tales by nrrobiec
    Wave Empire Part 1 by Skyline45
    Rose Tinted Mirror by isthisscience

    I forget the names of his missions, but you should look up the author Klintobean. I liked his a lot.

    One thing often overlooked in the Foundry are the folks who design just beautiful maps with no stories*. Typically, they do these for the RP people (which I am not).

    It would be nice to have a thread of these folks. I've visited some amazing locations from bars to seaside resorts. There are some cities that could make amazing social zones.



    *No, this is not a shameless plug for you to try my missions. Although...

    How do you find these missions? I've been curious about them for a while but never knew where to look.

    I've been racking my brains for the name of one particular foundry mission. I know I reference it at the end of one of mine but as the shard is down I can't check. It's a Bajoran one, where via an orb you see back into a Bajoran woman's memories to the end of the Cardassian occupation of DS9 where her mother was a comfort woman and trying to survive the chaos of the Cardassian withdrawal before the Federation fleet arrived. It was one of my favourites, but I can't for the life of me remember the name. Anyone know what I'm rambling on about?

    Gonna guess either Memory Lane by Bazag or Spirits of Ramok Nor by Alimac30. Or possibly aleniskendra's new mission (don't remember the title).

    If you want a short but fun mission, try The Orion Job

    I don't think that is Spirits or AK's new mission, which I just played.

    Izdubar has a great series called "The Grinder" -- has Fed and Klingon versions of waves of enemies. Simple combat (though some enemy types are a pain in the tribble), no stupid text walls and you can do it while playing Tiny Death Star.

    Best Foundry missions evar!
    Leave nerfing to the professionals.

    I've started a thread on the StarbaseUGC forums for people to post lists of missions they've given five-star ratings. (I posted it there instead of here because as far as I can tell, StarbaseUGC doesn't care about necro threads, so people can post and update their lists at will.)

    A Radio Blast from the Past is very TOS era cool to play.

    Yeah, I just played this mission and it was fun.

    SHADOWS OF THE PAST! By backyardserende

    Thank you for the recommendation.

    I haven't heard about this mission before but after reading your summary I was so excited to play it. So I played it yesterday evening. The mission itself took about 60 minutes and was very entertaining. I really felt like being part of an DS9 episode.

    To the author: very well done and thank you for an entertaining evening in STO!

    Today I've played another great episode which I want to "promote" and suggest to play (although it's already well known):
