Pitch: A Foundry Character All-Star Mission against the Iconians

edited March 2015 in The Foundry for Star Trek Online - Discussion & Feedback
Hey everyone, had a random thought that came to me because of all the official story content missions that focuses around the campaign against the Iconians.

What if we (authors) developed a mission featuring all the popular/famous Foundry characters in a big mission that runs in parallel to the main story content, that also is an operation against the Iconians? Aside from being fun, this could be interesting because even UGC authors would be rallying up against everyone's favorite STO puppetmaster villains. It might even eventually lead to additional mission plays if we cite other missions where these characters have appearances, either here or on StarbaseUGC, etc.

Of course, in order to make this work, we'd have to get a list of "famous" characters to write the mission around, not to mention character-creator support and an author that is willing to build the thing. A tentative list:

Helna (Is Havraha still around?)
Amanda Barclay (XR-377's, IIRC?)
Chalaskie (CaptPFDennis' character)
Captain Niemy (my own recurring character)
EMH Mk XII (Gingie's, IIRC?)
More?

Any thoughts?

    Yeah I'll support you. You can Commander Pren of the Ask'kaar Republic ... or "Fluffy."

    I'll even give you one of my foundry slots once I'm finished with X mission regarding the Los Lobos.

    Here's my shared costume thread on Starbase UGC. Black Snow, and Admirals Youngs and Zashek, are probably the most suitable of my "own" characters to use, though the thread also includes my reasonable facsimiles of Proconsul D'Tan and Tiaru Jarok.

    As long as Admiral Bobo isn't in command, this sounds like a great idea.

    I would not call any of my characters famous, but here is the main villain of my series, I'Zira Scar should you choose to use her.

    On the other hand, I suppose Bobo could lead the first cannon-fodder wave. :P

    If your merry band ever needs a back up plan...

    (Yes, it has made an appearance in one of my missions. Granted it was after the final, must-do objective of one, but it was an appearence all the same.)

    The Meltorans and their fleet from Spawn of Medusa stand ready to fight the Iconians as well. They have had some limited experience from their past after all. :)

    There's been a lot of interest for people volunteering their own characters which is great, but any ideas on plot or other details?

    More importantly, anyone feel up to the task of assisting in authoring?

    We could always go with the simple... defend X system from X Servitor race?

    Or maybe something about forming an alliance with the various powers of the quadrant to fight the Iconian menace?

    Though speaking of "Servitor Races" Maybe we should make up one / some of our own with their own agenda?

    I like the alliance idea. One or more servitors are attacking, and a new alliance needs to be formed in order to defeat them.

    You could use my Rek'Arthar as a servitor race. They're the bad guys from Diplomacy in the Gamma Quadrant. The only thing I really established about them was that they like swarm tactics and are an enemy of the Dominion.

    Plot idea for Federation side:

    The Elachi interrupt a peace conference on Starbase such and so, and after driving them off the base, they decide to contain the player's crew by stealing their ship and destroying the rest in drydock.

    UGC recurring crewmen NPCs serve as the side teams for the mission and use of the "Ship Boff" dialogue contacts to indicate your other Boff team doing stuff off screen.

    Good Characters to bring back from others:
    • Helna (Havraha)
    • Team Dragoon from In the Shadow of MIDAS (and Ensign Suck Up, I mean Telok, Too) (GreenDragoon)
    • Amanda Barclay (XR-337)
    • Rulian Mazan (Cryptic, the guinan doff)
    • EMH Mk7 (Cryptic)

    Characters of my creation who may be of use:
    Yeoman Aaron Matthews, Asst Engineer Shouji Yamaguchi, Shuttle Pilot Sara LeClair, Lt. Glem Mav Tav, Crewman Shalan (new member to Team Dragoon, replacing crewman Dryn who was critically injured/killed in MIDAS), and Helmsman Laura Hernandez

    The crew will take a runabout to reclaim their stolen starship in a massive group assault. Think Mass Effect: Citadel's assault on the Archives for how that can play out.
