Unofficial Official Bug Thread for Season 11 Foundry Downtime!

Hey Guys!
Remember this is the last weekend you will have Foundry Editor Access for a while. There will be some foundry Downtime with Season 11. The length of which is unknown.
During the Maintenance All Foundry Missions get unpublished and then when Maintenance is complete then the published portions of all 80,000+ Missions need to be republished. This is automatic. Then at some point missions will come back on-line for Play with Reviews disabled.
Then once the Dev Team can do a once over of the editor to make sure nothing catastrophic has happened. They will re-enable the editor and give us all time to edit out missions and fix any bugs before they re-enable reviews.
Timeframe is hard to predict, we have seen months long downtimes, and then with Delta Rising it was only 2 weeks.

Looking for something new to play? I've started building Foundry missions again in visual novel form!
You know the purple "Emergency Foundry Hologram" - the EFH Mk I. (both male and female versions)
On "Brace for Foundry downtime" there is a 30% chance of random upgrades to Foundry when it comes back up. Like new resources added, missing doorway locations added, holodecks being enabled for Foundry holonovels, improved main Foundry UI added, etc.
Oh wait, that's not a DOff, that's our Devs.
Here's hoping we make our 30% roll.

Bad news: We haven't found anything new. Zero has said she has some more NPCs for us, be she indicated it would be a couple weeks before they make it in, so they might be waiting for us when downtime ends.
Good news: I don't see any sign of the tool-breaking bugs we've seen in some previous season launches. No white or missing objects, normal load times, etc. But I encourage everyone to go do some testing because myself and Primar won't find everything on our own.
*Note: last we heard there are more than 90,000 missions. Could be edging up to 100k by now!
Right, there is that. Plus the new look on the Cardassian NPCs. Changes from the main game that filter down to the Foundry.
I just hope we can get something out of it, like some TOS Style backgrounds, NX Interior, etc. Just Something.

I am assuming it is just a general update like previously mentioned; Changes from the main game that filter down to the Foundry. - Drogyn1701
It would just be nice to know if I am waiting days, a week, weeks, a month or months.
Plus, I think I am having withdrawl symptoms.

and no
Not this time anyway.
As for length of downtime. We never know. Don't ask. Expect around three weeks.

Thank you, that at least gives me an idea of what to expect. If I heard 'months' I would have welled up a tear.

Also, on occasion, a mission will not automatically republish. Don't worry, it's not the end of the world. The mission is usually still there, there was just some error that prevented it from publishing. These are often minor, and may not even show up when editing is back on and you can get into the mission to look at it. In most cases, a simple manual republish is all that's needed.
Obviously, if you encounter any serious problems, report them in the bug forum right away.
What has been the turn around time between the first trickle of missions coming back in and the editor returning for past down times?

Your telling me, I keep looking forward to the weekends (Yes, Foundry will be back, I am sure of it), but nope

I am totally with you, altough I could handle the looooooong waits, the foundry-cold turkey, if they could just give us a timeframe to ease the pain. "Oh, a month, wow, I guess I could play through Starcraft or FF7 in that time".
On the brightside, i am spending more time at the gym now and I think the mrs. will be impressed
THANK YOU CRYPTIC

Seriously.... we've listed the time frame 3 times in this thread? What do you all want a Billboard?
Enterprise MACO Outfit would be nice.
Don't want no smegging billboard!
*Sigh*, time for a Red Dwarf marathon to pass the downtime. :P

Not too much longer I think. It seems like the auto-republish process is either very close to done or actually done (a mission of mine [still in review published a week before downtime] came back up, I imagine that was probably way towards the bottom of the list.) We've still got the period where we can make whatever changes are necessary to fix broken missions before the review function comes back up. However I would not be surprised if that stage begins after next week's maintenance.
