I wish foundry reviewers understood the limitations of a mission before slapping a lower rating.

P_Sutherland. Your comment in this thread sucks, uninstall the game!





Adding ESD/Voyager Interior to the Foundry

The level requirements for the new NPC groups

Uhhh let us choose a level we feel is appropriate for our missions... not that it'll matter... they'll scale to the player regardless.

Sound Effects

Meh.

Are the Borg still scary?

Nope.

How could we create a sport in the Foundry?

2 goal posts + Tribble = Football / Soccer

25 captain level targ groups + objective on the far side of the map = 2/400 meters sprint.

markhawkman

the problem with tribble football is that tribbles are debris objects and debris objects aren't tracked server side. thus everyone will likely see them in different spots.

Congratulations on the milestone episode - there have now been as many episodes of Foundry Roundtable as episodes of TOS (more if you count the non-numbered playthrough episodes).

Seems there's a problem with the mp3 version. Will get another one from greendragoon and upload it. In the meantime, the youtube version works just fine.

Re: The Borg
In retrospect I kind of wish the writers never gave the Borg a Queen - they were even more terrifying as a leaderless horde than as a glorified, living UNIX network.

Re: Foundry "bands"
Drogyn Punk? (Think two guys in Drogyn's EV suit style singing Daft Punk's "Get Lucky".)

Re: Parrises Squares
For all we know it was just some 24th century game show, a la "Hollywood Squares".

Seems I'm not the only person to think of making a Tron Mission

Trek lends itself so well, A malfunction during Tranport too or from the holodeck, Insert metaphysical 'trek'nobable, Enter the grid.

The Counter command armor would even let you recreate C.L.U.s troops as enemy mobs if desired, it all works out

Audio versions should be fixed now.
