Name: [Rom] Liberate Donatra
Starting Location: Noro System, BQ
Level: 41+
Faction: Rom-Fed
Author: guljarol
Code: ST-HS5IS3V2A


Name: [Rom] Liberate Donatra KDF
Starting Location: Noro System, BQ
Level: 41+
Faction: Rom-KDF
Author: guljarol
Code: ST-HHXEQDS9T

Note: It's the same mission. I imported it to the KDF side, so that all Romulans can play. It's also appropriate for both Republic and Imperial Romulans. And for Remans too :)

Takes about 20 min to complete.

My first one, so all tips and comments are welcome.​​

    Hey I just ran through the FED version and I really like what you did with this one. Great use of objectives and solid writing and visuals to boot. It very much does what it says on the tin, you could say, but having a strong, objective driven mission is a very nice change from the sort of things I've been building lately (felt quite a bit like a few Iconian War FE's, in a good way). Combat was also very well scaled too (required effort but not overwhelming).

    Altogether it's fun, STO plot thread filling, stuff. Now with that said here's a few nit-picks which might make for good edit fodder. :)
    • Think about using [OCC] and [Missioninfo] text modifiers in mission description (just to pretty it up) and be a bit more specific about where the Noro system is (I had to go to the system list)
    • Ferengi contact had no waypoint in big open space map. It wasn't a problem but it could have been if I started wandering.
    • You could more simply explain detection of borg distress signal (their version of a general distress call, omega force intercepted it, there's a few ideas you could play around with here.)
    • Damaged cube should probably be alone in space, having the borg station and assimilated planet there does question why the cube had to send out for help. I know it works thematically but it does bring up those practical questions which niggle at the plot.
    • By chance in my playthrough, the BOFF who brought up the remans was reman. Yay!
    • More battle damage around cube would be nice. There's some, but you could go all out on this to fill a bit more of the empty space and really nail the setting. You might even start heavy with lots battle damage (there's also general "debris" pieces too) and then ease up as you progress through (presenting as part of the visual background that the borg are regenerating.)
    • When borg console fries, “the borg sabotaged it themselves” is just a wee bit redundant. Could just say “the borg sabotaged it”
    • I kept running to end of final hallway in cube before completing previous objectives. Any way to block progress until it's time to move on with that one too?
    • "Alien" captain option for ROM dialog would be nice. ;)

    First of all, thanks for playing :)

    Good point about Noro system. I always go to the list myself, so I didn't think about being more specific, but adding a sector wouldn't hurt.

    I'll have to take a look at that, because there should be a waypoint.

    All good points. This was a very first map I dealt with ever, so I didn't really know much what I could do with it, and what options I had available. I may experiment with it some more.

    I wanted it to be emphasised, but English isn't my native language, so I can be "off" often. I'll edit it.

    Maybe adding an invisible wall in the entrance to that hallway would fix that. "No go" until you finish your job in THIS room first! ;)

    Ha, why didn't I think about it? :*


    Thank you for all valuable tips and remarks. B)​​
