That raises the question in my mind. Is the Foundry fully integrated into Holodeck so I can log in tonight and start transferring my mission from Tribble to Holodeck right away?
No, Stormshade has been working to move a few of the choice foundry missions over to Holodeck manually to give the general population an early taste of user-generated mission.

Yes, but we still don't know when the Foundry toolset itself would be open to the public so that authors, like myself, could port their existing missions from Tribble to Holodeck, and not knowing worries me.
I worry too much, I know, my wife tells me that all the time. Thing is, whenever I take a break to stop worrying and smell the roses, it turns out there was a bee waiting just for me to pick that particular rose so I get stung and end up with a red aching, huge nose.
That said, I'd like to suggest you transfer an equal number of both Fed and KDF episodes, otherwise the KDF players wont get any fun out of your awesome surprise.
I see Syndicate Extraction is now live on Holodeck. Congrats on being the first player-made mission on the live server, and the first of many.
Thanks for the congrats! It's so cool to see it on the live server and I wasn't expecting it to be the first one I saw up on there. I heard that The Longing was up at the same time too but then disappeared for a bit and came back again? I know it's up now, along with Unholy Alliances.
No, Stormshade has been working to move a few of the choice foundry missions over to Holodeck manually to give the general population an early taste of user-generated mission.
The dark side of it being the first up early taste though, is that not all people were aware of some of the limitations of the Foundry tools and open problems, such as the pathing issues ground boffs have getting around the maps and it's got hammered by people saying negative things as if I programmed the paths for the boffs myself. The general public who never ventured on to tribble aren't aware that all foundry missions are like that.
There's also people talking about the crates in the hallways they get stuck on - those are part of the pre-fabricated map and I can't take those off manually. And of course there's the rare issue where the player throws a plasma grenade or something at a group of enemies that also kills the NPC (meant to be invincible) contact they are meant to be talking to and complain about there being "missing" NPCs.
I was hoping that issues like these could have been fixed before the public got their hands on it, but I'm still honored to have been picked in the first place and given this opportunity, and the majority of reviewers so far seem to have been very kind and constructive!

I know this is sort of an oldish topic, but it is stickied! I'd really like to know what people's ONE favorite Foundry mission is. I don't see enough of that type of info.

We Will Not Wander More by TheCentipede
It's a diplomatic mission (omg no combat, it must suck!) but the theme of the mission and the means he uses to flesh out the story really appeal to me. I like stories with philosophical quandaries to deal with.
There are so many good missions tht I have played but my favorites so far are:
Conjoined
A Relic's Return
Evangeline
The Dissent Series.
There's one more I really like but I cna't remember the title but it's about the Klingons invading trill. ?Both my mains are joined Trill so it ws bound to pique my interest and it was really well done!
I can't name them all off the top of my head but the most memorable had to be the Raptor trilogy by Terral! Most excellent missions and well done storyline. There was enough action to keep the fighters happy and enough story to keep me happy, both my teammate at the time and I were very pleased by them and we played all three missions back to back. I can't think of two more right now though I did play an excellent one last night. HAve to look it up when I can log back in after the emergency maintance is over.
Sadly I haven't been keeping noted of what I've played. I'll have to start.
The one's I remember I really liked are:
To Mock a Killing Bird.
Everything from Captain_Revo
Sins of the Son (I may have gotten that title wrong)
Masters of War (I just played episode-1, part-1....incredible!!!) I think there are 3-episodes with 3 parts each.
(Destroying DS9 was great! muahahaha)
I'm going to go play ep-1, part-2 now.
There have been many others I like, but sadly I can't remember the names. Sorry authors....
I've only recently started playin ga lot of Foundry content; but so far I've had two really good experiences (and no really bad ones to be honest.)
Fed side was the Dissent series, which was, imo, excellent. There were a few minor quirks here and there, but still, I thought it was believable, had plenty of action but also plenty of story... basically an all around excellent series.
KDF-side, was Krios Falling - This one I can't be quite as unreservedly positive about; but on the whole it was quite good. It does however make you feel like kind of a jerk in a few places (if only we had branching story options, oh well). Also the Klingon dropship captain early in the mission... doesn't seem very Klingon.
However those are pretty small faults given the scope and general awesomeness of the mission. There are a lot of great custom environments too. If you've ever wanted to get your invasion on, this is the mission for it.
Really showing that my missions are going to have a *lot* to live up to. ... I'm OK with that.
Played a mission yesterday called 'above all else'.
excellent story driven episode with tons of detail. must have taken an age to put together. if you read all the text its slightly long but well worth playing.
I really enjoyed a few missions recently before the Foundry went down . These are my favorites so far.
1. Spawn of Medusa , Spawn of Medusa II, and III by Duke-of-Rock - (Actually 3 missions) Great missions with new aliens to battle and a great story, map designs, and effects. (only the first 2 are available in the community missions and playable ATM with the foundry)
2. First Cause, First Effect by RogueEnterprise - A cool story, maps, and effects.
3. Return to Terra Nova - by Kirkfat - Great non-combat diplomatic story and very impressive map designs.
4. Unholy Alliances I - by Soriedem - Great overall mission, battles, and story.
5. Memory Lane - by Bazag - Great story and maps.
6. Tipping Point - by Altexist - Cool story and maps. (unfortunately damaged now I think - not available)
7. Dal'Rok - by AR1973 - Cool story, maps, and effects.
8. The Syndicate Extraction - by Galactrix - Cool story and battles.
9. The Hunter and the Hunted - by Cassi-o-peia - Cool story and battles.
10. Chronotons and Klingons - by Capt.PFDennis - Cool story and battles.
Unfortunately, some of these are down at the moment with the Foundry Down. However, if you get a chance
to experience the ones still up, IMHO it is worth the effort. You will enjoy them. There are a lot more I want to play but can't at the moment because of the Foundry. Hopefully they will be back up soon.

Hey thanks, please check out my new mission, "Slaves and Seductions," when the Foundry is back up.

There's been a date on dstahl's thread for ages.
I would like to know this as well as if any more mission will be considered before tribble launch?

What I am wondering is when the next missions for the Old Flame mission series. Those are quite funny, as you start liking the characters quite a bit.
