Cant Reuse Maps

edited February 18 in The Foundry for Star Trek Online - Bug Reports
I have yet to be able to got back to the same map without that part of the mission restarting. I would think with space being a issue finding a way to reuse the same map more then once in mission would be important. Then I might been doing something wrong.

    This is why we need a copy map function, so after being in that station we can return to outside where your ship is etc.

    Or at least a function to save these maps and costumes we make as txt files on our local computers.

    Cryptic has said plenty of times that they will not allow players to save game file info to personal computers.

    I do want to see this function, though. Hopefully it's not a matter of Foundry-dedicated storage on their server

    You only need the ability to save something that points to the data on their server, not the actual data. That way when you say 'make a copy of this map/costume', it does the actual work on its side.

    I have run into the same issue. My only work around was to recreate the map from scatch and give it another name. Painful but it worked. Luckily I only had 6 elements I had to replace. The orginal enemy spawns were gone of course.

    I agree. I had the same issue where I wanted my away team to beam back to the map they were on before entering the planet surface.

    I'm aware of that, and I still think it has to be possible in some way. As someone said, it can be like the tailor costume saved files. IE just pointing to already made settings.

    Such as:
    A list of all objects you've used in the map.
    The coordinates of all the objects already in the map.

    At least that is all I'm asking for, for a save function.

    Thanks. This is a known feature request, and is on our long-term wish list.

    For as often as this functionality seems to be used in developer designed missions (or are you also redoing the maps by hand when you re-enter the system during a stage of the mission?), it's surprising this wasn't included.

    Not to mention more premade maps , and let us build our own maps.
    After playtesting as many foundry missions as possible its become apparent to me that the novelty may wear off pretty quick as after a few missions i see the same map time and time again.
    Space isnt so bad but interiors is.
