Filtering search options

This may have been asked before, but would it not be a nice feature in the foundry search, to filter for missions you've run (or not run) before?

The searches only give the first n missions that match. If you could filter out those already done (or already reviewed if easier), it'd be awesome.

Also, sorry if I've annoyed anyone with low reviews. It's probably due to assumptions about rank or ship and I'd be prepared to alter the review on speaking to the author if they'd be up to discussing it. It may be that it's not something they can do much about, but as someone who'se not written a foundry mission yet, I don't know. If that's the case, sorry... drop me a reminder and I'll fix it.

For the rank issue, authors can do it several ways. We have a tag [Rank], that when we insert that into dialogue, it uses whatever rank the player is.

Rather than doing that, some authors like to refer to the player as "Captain" only, since according to canon, the officer in command of a ship (in Starfleet anyway) is always referred to as "Captain" regardless of what their permanent rank is.

I use the rank tag, personally.

Thanks for that... Though what I meant was more where an NPC of Captain or Rear Adm (usually, though sometimes Cdr) addresses you by first name and your only response is to salute stiffly and say Sir... Maybe when I was a lvl 20 Commander, but ... and maybe I am alone here, but I tend to do foundry missions at end game, when I don't want to be playing in group/fleet actions.

Maybe there isn't a reliable way to do it. No doubt I'll find out soon as and when when I try to make some.
