However, these are characters for a reason. They're designed this way to prevent exploiting by your primary characters.
The Create or Test Characters will scale up to the encounters.
Eventually, being able to test various leveled characters will happen but not in the shorterm.
Great answer! Thanks dude!
they should just make it so that test characters made with the foundry cannot enter the "main" game. but CAN be a "reviewer" for missions.
and you should eventually be able to level up your character and choose your gear. (as noted with some of the high level "bosses" and such that require a certain level :-p.
of course i guess you can always create a mission in the foundry publish it, sign in your main as a reviewer and then "test" the mission that way....for the time being.
Is there any way that we can pick a ship to fly other than the Miranda? I'd rather look at an Intrepid while I'm testing out my missions.
Also, if you create a high level mission, does it automatically give you the officers, equipment and skills/abilities to put you on par with the mission? I didn't really see anywhere we could change anything about our test characters except when we first make them (and, even then, that's only the basic stuff, such as career, race, sex, etc.).
I would hate to not be able to test a mission with mobs and/or ships, and I'm limited to my Miranda (or an essentially 'non-equipped' captain) when I test out the mission before I publish it.
Some of this has yet to be worked out, I think. Right now, all enemies spawn at lvl 1, meaning that it's pretty easy to test the missions using the new characters.
That is actually about Tribble Play characters - not the Foundry Test Characters. They are two unrelated things as you could exploit the game.
Well, if that is true, then they need to change the info displayed when you choose the 'Create Content' tab:
"Please create at least one character so that you can test your content. This will take up one of your character slots, but you will be able to change the test character's level and equipment as needed."
What, you thought you decided when it was needed?
No, I was merely pointing out that it says the Foundry test characters will be changed, not the Tribble Play characters.
When I tested my mission, I was in the B'rel with no boffs. That was ok because the Romulan ships were my level. But what if I did a ground mission, and had to fight say, 3 medics, 2 Scis and a handfull of other romulans. Would I really know if it was doable by myself? With no kinds of weapons, shields, boffs?
Or is there some way around this?
