Just to stir the pot...UGC rule proposition..

humm, lets see.. if we go by CBS's rules..

You user generated mission should be completed by the average user in 15 min or less..

No series of mission may exceed more then 2 missions.

You cannot use NPC main characters in your missions.. (they're "cast" you know)

And all mission title screen must have the line in plain easily read text..

A Startrek Online User Generated mission.

Oh.. and you can no longer receive DIlithium as a tip from users who play your mission.


I wonder how many other "Endevors" we can apply the CBS rules of fan films to. I have a feeling the more things you apply them to the more inane they'll sound. I haven't heard anything from a CBS mouth piece yet as to if they are going to adjust any of those rules. Maybe someone has some more current information I might have missed. It's been surprisingly quiet out there in fan land. It feels an a lot like there's a battle of wills about to begin and CBS may not be in exactly the best of tactical positions. A world of tanks player would say they were side on, and skylined on a ridge with broken tracks.

And unless you may have missed the point ..NO! These really aren't proposed rules to govern UGC submissions..

I'm not feeling very pleased with CBS right now. And I'm pretty close to personally boycotting them and their products. Other may or may not feel the same. It's a personal choice.

    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    The Foundry operates under Cryptic's official license from CBS and therefor has nothing to do with the new fanfilm rules.

    "He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
    Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
    he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
    In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
    He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
    He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
    He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
    He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

    The foundry is licensed and authorized by CBS, so it is not shackled by the established fan film guidelines.

    Those guidelines also only apply to film, not literature (fan fic) or game missions/mods. Missions and mods other than STOs foundry are obviously not authorized, so they can be shut down, but regardless the guidelines are still not directed at them either.

    or purchase ANY trek goods for that matter, as everything that is officially licensed by CBS/Paramount sends a portion of the sale profit to them when it sells - that includes clothing, trading cards, coffee mugs, toys, books, pens, comics, and dozens of other types of memorabilia​​

    You have a kid, you love your kid very very much but you don't want to be one of those helicopter parents so you let your kid hang out with people. You find out your kid is hanging out with some very sketchy people, very badmen. You love your kid so you get them away from the evildoers, after your kid almost got hurt those helicopter parent parts of your brain starts to kick in so now your kid is not really allowed as much freedom in the friends they hang out with.

    TL;DR, Axanar was in the wrong and while I'm sad at what happened to other fan films caught in the crossfire of their foolishness #IStandWithCBS
