I'm feeling pretty stupid right now.

How do you start making custom content?

I logged in, selected the "create content" tab.... it tells me to make a character to test with (I've already made sure that I have a free character slot) but when I click on the new character option, it does not work. So I am unable to make content.... I'm assuming we would be able to make content at this point, as it is the main point of season 3.

Am I just being dumb and missed the punch-line here?

    I thought the Foundry had been taken down for maintenance. That might be the problem. Don't know if it's back up yet though, I haven't been keeping track

    Right on, I will assume for now that that is the issue.

    Foundry's in beta on Tribble. The current Live build is pretty much the same as the final pre-release Tribble build, so the hooks for the UGC engine are in place, but not connected.

    It won't go Live until next year. (My WAG says February. Devs may have other ideas.)

    I must admit, that while I have been aware of the situation all along, Cryptic's Season 3 promotion page sort of makes it seem like the Foundry is live on holodeck. But yes, it is currently on Tribble being tested. Its alot of fun though :)

    Everything except the Foundry is live. And it IS "available", just on Tribble. Also, you say "next year" like its a long time from now. "Next year" is less than a month away :p

    Well it was always said that Season three would launch without the foundry if it wasn't ready. And if it is next year, so be it. It's only a couple weeks away. I'd rather that be the case than a bugged out system that delivers a bunch of bugged missions. Wouldn't we all?

    Thanks for the reply....I am only on the regular public server and I wanted to try some of the user created missions. I went to the journal and clicked in the "created content" and searched. Nothing. Is that on the tribble server? what about:

    >>Borg Technology In Your Ship- Integrate Borg technology into your ships. This new loot from Special Task Force missions greatly <<

    Thanks for your help....I am a tad confused:confused:

    You can transfer your character to Tribble and play with the exact same character/ship that you have on the live server, just follow these 2 links:

    All of this was promised for Season 3, but not necessarily at release time. The Dev team as stated repeatedly that if something is not ready for release, then it would not be released with the debut, and that is the case with the Foundy. FWIW, I think the Borg tech upgrades will be available much sooner, as in the next couple of weeks, but don't hold me to it.

    And just to elaborate on that, Season 3 is not any one date. Its like a TV show, it lasts until the NEXT season comes out.

    Thanks all for the replies. I am 100% for not putting something out before its ready. I just misunderstood from the emails and FB posts...I guess. I like the new look of sector space.:)

    Thanks again,
