Returning after a year to the foundry

amahoodreturns

Howdy, just thought I'd say HI to fellow Foundry fans, I'm finally back on to STO, I can't help it, I am a big fan of star trek.

Anyhow, I'm posting here, cause I thought I'd say I'll be creating some foundry episodes again, I use to be known as 'amahood', I did a foolish thing and deleted my account a while ago LOL.

but that's cause I was going through a divorce.

Now I'm finally back, and Looking forward to not only creating some foundry episodes, yet also playing some too.



I think I'll be leveling up characters first. Then will be working on Foundry episodes. You can imagine they'll be full of contradictions and fun. LOL And of course I think a new storyline for the Crew of Liam .

Anyhow, just thought I'd let ya know. Not that it's a big deal I never was an expert at making these things. LOL, but it's fun.

p.s.- I miss the old sol base......... on a different note, I imagine the editor still works the same.

I remember you! Welcome back

There's a rather bad graphical glitch right now.... things look almost like random static in the preview pane.

Did you make it back in time for the Delta recruit thing?

Howdy Zorbane and Markhawkman!!!

To answer your question Mark, yes it seems I have, as when I began at the Academy someone said they were the future me, and so now as I am going through the regular episodes to level up, there seems to be somthing extra for the iconian thing , an artifact I have to find in each one. Plus on the right side it says 'delta recruit'.

I noticed too, whenever I sign in to this forum, it sends me a code saying I'm accessing it from a different computer...even though I'm not.... must be a new glitch with arc or somthing...

Right now my character is only level 7 or 8, so I got a bunch of playing to do before I get a chance at the foundry again, but I got a few good stories waiting to be made.

I also thought it might be fun sometime, to make a borg outfit or somthing, and then I want to perhaps record a few reviews for episodes I play of others, and do the review as a borg that has troubles typing and stuff. I think that would be fun and funny.

Course this all depends upon what time allows me each month. But I'd thought I'd say howdy, cause I missed ya all actually .

Hearing different talks about foundry episodes was fun. Glad to see there's still interest in foundry episodes.

Now that I'm divorced (not that it was my choice to divorce but now i'm looking positively at things), ... hee hee I can play all I want STO and have all the friends I want too. So Wooohooo for Freedom! It's good to be back. LOL <probably the most positive way anyones looked at divorce. LOL.

The foundry I imagine still has alot of glitches and such, but same old same old, I forgot how to do a few things since it's been awhile, yet I'm sure I'll get the hang of it again.

Time to go level up.

Can't wait to play episodes of the foundry, listen to reviews and eventually make some episodes again myself. The crew of Liam I will have to sort of re-write since my old account is gone. dang it.

but that's alright, it'll be fun. then players can enter 'the amahood zone' bwahahahahaaa.

Live long and prosper.

So did you start from a new account or what?

amahoodreturns

Yeppers. I hope they have the life sub on sale for a discount price soon , I want to get that.

Your missions are still in the foundry. "Homesick Heros" & "Long Lost Friend."

I'd get in contact with customer support and go through the gruelling task of proving who you are.

amahoodreturns

wow it's still there! I already did try to get through them to get my old account back, it didn't work cause I had moved and since it had been so long there was nothing they could do cause I couldn't remember some things , <when I divorced I threw away passwords emails pretty much everything cause I was in quite an upset mood back then LOL> and so now , coming back after a year it's quite hard to remember things since I have not had time to even get online till recently.

A year ago I asked them to delete it along time ago, and I threw out my details etc. (I did some stupid things back then ) , and so ya, my old account apparently is lost.

So it's a surprise that there's still my old foundry episodes online, that's really good though, I didn't know that the foundry episodes would remain up.

I think I made 3 parts to long lost friend, long lost friend , then long lost friend 2 and long lost friend 3 .

Homesick heroes I made for the kdf and fed romulans

I also made a few others too, a kdf one that had zombies in it (or was it feds side?) LOL.

Interesting..... once I level up my character I'll have to see if all my foundry missions are still up.

They delete the old account , yet keep those up, if that's true, then I'm happy with that (I mean even though I had alot of stuff from the zen store, but I've learned the hard way in life, when you don't have a choice about somthing, try to look at the positive sides of things). So although it sucks starting all over, at least somthing survived of my old account, and the foundry miissions I really enjoyed creating. So if they survived, then thats good, at least they did. And if they did, which would be great, then that would mean I can move on with my storylines, instead of beginning again , so that is wonderful.

Anyhow, onward to try and level up my character again. Thanks for letting me know I had missions still up.

Welcome back, Amahood.

I'm sorry to hear about your divorce.

Anyway, no major changes to the editor, however, we now have a system called the Top 3 system. You may have noticed it as you were flying around sector space. Each system will pull 3 random missions from the top 100 rated missions starting at that door. In addition to that, with the Season 10 sector space revamp, we have a whole lot more Foundry doors.

And if that wasn't enough, we've seen a marked increase in new Foundry assets in the last year thanks to efforts from ZeroniousRex and Tacofangs. Things like new ESD assets, New Romulus assets, stations, invisible walls, a couple new types of volumes (EV suit and floater), peaceable water, most ground and space costumes, and to-scale starships for ground.

The Foundry has definitely seen some love lately.

Hey!

It's alright, I'm over the divorce now.

Yes I saw the new maps as I've been playing the episodes again to level up my fed character. It sounds like I came back to STO just as they made all these changes?!

I look forward to working with the foundry again, the editor no doubt will test my patience again, lol, but sounds good if they've added what you said !

And I did notice that as you are about to enter a mission it has a few foundry missions to choose to play as well. I plan on playing some foundry missions, once I've leveled up all three faction characters of mine.

I always find foundry missions more fun to play if you have a high level character to play it.

I also noticed people can now level up to level 60?!?

Anyhow, glad to see the foundry still going strong. (Got the classic star trek movies playin today for inspiration. .. right now... 'the voyage home' , then of course my favorite 'first contact'. )

I'm watching those movies so that I can get a better feel of how to write my new foundry episodes as close to a star trek episode type mission as I can.

anyhow onward to leveling up again.
