catstarsto · February 2013

I have started a new project, this can help those who didnt get thier Foundry Missions spot lighted, in having thier missions reviewed and put up in lights by your friendly neighborhood CatStar

Your submissions will be displayed on the Foundry Review pages http://catstarsto.com

I will only review those missions I have permission to, and wont give away the ending other then to say, CatStar wins ^^ There will be included a screenshot to show off action or a dramatic and/or funny moment.

EDIT: I changed the page name for the original, now its for Federation side reviews, plus I added in a new page for the KDF side too.

Mission Title: Yet Another Borg Mission
Author: @SteveHale
Project ID: ST-HTJ9EPVF4
Faction: FED
Minimum rank required to play: 41+
Length: 25-30 minutes

Well, I've still have a fair amount to do. Story is a third person narrative for a place holder but I still need to work out the dialogue. There are 3 space maps and 1 interior map. It's kind of cheesy but I'm trying to do something a little different with the Borg and I'm not quite ready to give up on it yet, lol.

It's been kind of tough rallying anyone to give it a once over (I'm trying not to be too offended:o). So anyway, since you offered, if you get bored and wouldn't mind giving it run I'd appreciate the feedback. Thanks. ^^

Thank you for your future review, and I'm looking forward to your input xD

EDIT: Sorry I just noticed the submission sheet on your website

I'm all submitted though now ^.^

stevehale · February 2013

Hey, I saw the review on your site and wanted to say thanks for giving it a shot. Live long and pawsper:D.

catstarsto · February 2013

I still have one from my old Cryptic Account, look for @helkotar, its called Space Hulk. I used it to train our fleet for ground combat. I got the theme from Warhammer40K it was the first foundry mission I made that turned out decent. Before i got into useing CatStar as my main toon, Flash Dashing was it, he was my first toon I made long before I bought the Playable Caitian. I always hid him in the missions as a cameo appearance. My in game name is now @cat_star now that I merged with PWE, I have a couple more missions under that name but they arent as good.

Try it out, I recomend a team on elite. I trained some people using this until they could go without BoFF on elite and be done in about 15 minute. Test yourself, weapons and gear have improved since then, lets see how fast you can complete it. (poses like Morpheus) "The challenge has been issued."

Sorry folks, it seems Webs.com, the company I used for my website is not accessable atm, your reviews where completed but my website isnt respondiing for some reason. Ill notify you once they fix the problem.

"KHAAAAN!"

EDIT: It was a DDoS attack, they are currently working on it. =T.T=

castsbugc · February 2013

well that stinks, I just found your thread and was going to post about it online for more exposure too

zorbane · February 2013

Ehh why not.

I have two related ones

Duritanium Man
The Galaxy's Fair

Duritanium Man is about 45 minutes- 1hr
Galaxy's Fair is closer to the 20-30 minute mark (depending on reading)

syberghost · February 2013

When you get it back up, I'd be happy to hear your opinion on Franklin Drake Must Die.

(Fed, any level, 15-30 minutes)

catstarsto · February 2013

Good news, it looks like they have fixed the DDoS attack and my site is back up again

Now just as soon as The Cat Crusader finishes defending Millenium city from the Cat Joker, with some friends, ill get started on your reviews.

zorbane · February 2013

Ha! Just read the review for Duritanium Man. Is that you lying on the medical bed in the screenshot?

dawnpromise · February 2013

Mission Name: A Minor Skirmish
Author: HeraSeven
Minimum Level: None
Allegiance: Federation
Est. Time: 30-40min
Recommended Difficulty: Normal
Description: A 'rogue' Klingon battlegroup has left the main taskforce and headed into Federation territory. Star Fleet plots his course as heading to an undefended agricultural world. At Maximum warp you should reach the system near when they do. but sensors immediately show odd signs. What else is going on?

Beware spiders with knives.

Yes, I was trying to "Recall" my trip to Mars ^^

dawnpromise · February 2013

Disappointing that you dislike the mission so much on so many levels. My only speculation is that something else is going on.

Peace and Long Life

skydawnknight · February 2013

Sure, I'll put mine up.

Mission Name: Dark Alliance Part 1
Author: @Skydawn

Minimum Lvl: 16+
Length: 30-45 minutes

markhawkman · February 2013

You can review one of mine if you want. my in game handle is @marhawkman. I don't really care which one you do.

My reviews are according to how I felt and observe things while playing them, I didnt dislike the reviewed mission. I did even make a pun gesture concerning the use of your names. If you play through a mission I review, some of the things I say durring my review, play at the jokes and storylines you add to your missions.

My reviews dont reflect everyones thoughts, just my own.

But yes, I didnt explore this time, I shall replay it incase I missed something. Easter Eggs are always worth the search. But only being part 1, I take it as a build up more then a complete mission.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. As a series, your overall rating is according to the whole story, like I did with Wave Empire, and most likely subject to change as each part is reviewed.

zorbane · February 2013

Thanks for the reviews btw, it's cool getting a different perspective.

Also the screenshots you took were hilarious!

syberghost · February 2013

Thanks for the review, I appreciate your feedback.

I'm going to do something about that issue with the entrance being unclear; I have an idea how to work around Cryptic on that one.

Thank all of you for the chance to review your works, I did have a lot of fun trying my hand at reviewing. I still welcome more if interested.

markhawkman · February 2013

O.O' Someone finally played Treasue Hunt with Tetin!

thanks!

I considered adding combat but.... your boffs have pretty much no hope of following you, at all, ever.... that and I kinda shelved it for a year when I realized just how hard it was.

I'd be happy to see you do reviews for more of mine.

catstarsto · February 2013

I forgot to mention this system I use for ratings, I have 4 cat-egories that have a 1 to 5 potential.

Story Quality: How well the author designed the plot and feeling in dialoge and actions of the NPC's. Also the ability to bring your toon into the storylines and make them apart of the adventure. Plus how much I liked the story itself.

Action: The amount of fighting/enemys in the mission.

Creativity: The imagination of creating something new and original, or using the story or foundry tools to its full potential. Also if i find easter eggs, or jokes slipped into the story they earn points for this too, as it tells me the author was having fun with the project to add in the little extras.

Star Trek Themed: Following the the ways of the show, pertaining to the way the Federation acts, including the proper protocal and wearing of uniforms like in the shows and movies. Having your theme to revolve around Star Trek.
***************************
Ratings: My ratings are according to how i viewed these as described above.

1: Low to none
2: Moderate
3: Enjoyable
4: Excellent
5: Awesome

For a series, I will make short comments for each episode, to sum it up. then after complete I will comment on the whole story and give an overall rating of what I thought.

EDIT: I have just added a page for Klingon Foundry reviews now too. There are a lot of cool klingon players, lets see what you have created for them, to help them on thier journey to Stovakor. PLus a new category, instead of Star Trek themed for this faction, it will be Klingon themed, pertaining to thier culture and lifestyle.

Yes, thanks for reminding me to change the link. I changed the page name and did add in one for the KDF side too. It should work now.

markhawkman · February 2013
