Grand Nagus Foundry Daily missions need to be re-looked at

I feel that most of Grand Nagus missions were right at the 15+ miniutes mark pending how good your equips are I really think you need to re-look at those and let them be counted as part Of Investigative Officer Reports Daily. Please look into this.:)

Having said that, I think the system is acting odd as a few 2 hour text heavy missions don't qualify either. What gives?
It still involves effort, unlock the console clicking.
All this change has done, is killed off 99% of foundry missions. Nobody is going to play a mission which doesn't qualify and without knowing how to make my missions qualify, that sucks.
It's possible they don't have any sort of real automated system to judge it, and instead they've got some intern or something going through mission by mission to figure out what qualifies and he or she hasn't gotten to them all yet.
I have zero wish to sift through missions to find ones that are remotely worth doing for that daily. For now the foundry doesn't exist for me until they fix the system.....
The worst part about all of this is that this game actually has potential, if the devs weren't so obsessed with extorting every last penny from the players. I understand they need money to live like the rest of us, and I'm certain CBS isn't letting them use the Star Trek title and content for free, but it still seems to be a shame that they choose to ruin a good game by making us pay for every last bit of new content.
And I have no clue why I decided to type this all up, it's not like the devs will actually pay attention to us F2P players.
After fiddling around with the foundry a little more today I think Cryptic really needs to
look at what counts for the daily reports.If you compare it to the explore daily that gives 1400 dil. Then look at a lot of the mission on the foundry they say don't count for the daily
reports. There are some serious similarities between the two.I played several on the foundry that had you destroy 4 or 5 waves of enemy vessals or groups of vessals and they didn't count for the daily officer reports. But these same mission types pop up on the exploring strange new worlds missions.
Are they saying their own missions are exploits.
You see the kill 5 groups of enemies type missions all the time from the devs so using that same format and throwing in an interesting storyline should be even better.And should count for the daily even if it only takes 5 minutes.You'll always get some different time for completions because of differences in gear,ship,skill,and type of captain.
Yeah, they pretty much just took a big hammer to the foundry and smashed it up so bad that no one will ever want to play with it again.
ridiculous exaggeration does not help either. all of the top rated missions are proper 45 minute + story missions. some have tens of thousands of reviews.

The devs are attempting to put the risk/time spent vs. reward levels for the foundry on par with the rest of the game. Yes they may be a bit heavy handed but even so it's their game to be heavy handed in.
What's important for you to realise is that nothing has been removed, the console clickers are still there, the nagus dailies are still there. All's that's changed is that the wrapper mission for the 50 fleet marks and 1440 dilithium requires missions to take an average of 15 minutes.
The line in the sand isn't about what you can and can't create, it's about what gives a reward and what doesn't.
My assumption: "Oh, is that game still there?"
Thing I don't get, going by myself and how people seem to be in general, if you're making people do that, the majority of people aren't going to spend money to convert, they're going to go, 'Hang on, I have to grind for this extortionately priced stuff? I'll just go play another game.' As it makes the game phenomenally boring and doesn't feel like you have any chance of ever achieving anything and if you get bored, you leave.
I imagine it is in fact the minority who are keeping this and the lockbox strategy afloat. I mean, I buy from the c-store when there's something I like (eg. just picked a couple more ships after having already bought most of them in the latest sale. ) But, there's a handful of players who literally shell out thousands for these conversions and lockbox schemes, more than making up for the players who disagree with it.
make a friggin set paramiter and stick to it. one day a mission qualifys the next it doesnt. half the missions are total TRIBBLE you get half or more thru one and then stuck because it dosnt work and you cant progress. so you wasted ton of time for nothing. all because cryptic wants to make a buck. just put it back like it was please you have already jearked up enough stuff do you realy need to TRIBBLE on every aspect of this game. i love sto and was happy with the quick officer reports and before you spew your "It was an exployt" pat line it was there for what 3 seasons and all of a sudden its a problem BULL and you know it. you just wanted to kill it congrats its dead. i wont do them. i wont have things to contribute to starbase anymore. the dill market crashing so wont buy a drop of zen cause cant get any dill for it. why dont you hire a professinal to help you dip's make an ecconomy that works. your lets try this, and that, and back track on those and decrese somthing here and increes the cost here and if everyone leaves will say oopsie method is totaly annoying.
I haven't done played any Foundry missions for awhile, in fact I haven't done any Officer Reports for a long while and just decided to do one for a little extra dilithium..
Started looking for the Grand Nagus missions because those are what I used to do, would whip through them within 5 minutes... and now I find that they don't even exist anymore and I just cant find any other 'quickies' that seem to 'qualify' ...
Ho hum.. so much of the Foundry that was so much fun, gone now... thanks PWE...
Oh and sorry to necro-post this thread up... was googling the Grand Nagus missions to find info on them cause I couldn't find them in the Foundry. My googling brought me to this thread!
The IOR mission wrapper has changed, you only need to do one mission, but it has to take at least 15 minutes on average and you need to gain skill points/expertise at some point in it.
You can also repeat the mission every 30 minutes.
