Parallels: my second mission for Fed aligned Romulans.
Up until Alimac showed us the trick to make a custom Interior Ship map, I was forced to use the Cirini Prime Interior Map as the interior of a Romulan D7. And it became such a disaster because it was so buggy, and laggy as well.
But thanks to Alimac's trick, I happily replaced that Cirini Map with my own custom interior map of a Romulan D7, which has some things I bet you guys in the Foundry Files and Starbase UGC might be impressed with.
Now wish I can wrangle time to complete this two year journey. :P
But I got to ask, how do you score these Foundry missions? Like by what standards do you go for Storyline or Technique or Battles?
Great show, guys. Love the new credits.
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

Oh we just make the numbers up
I should probably plug it more, but if you go back to Episode 1 we cover our scoring system completely.
A brief run down is we break everything up into 3 main categories, Story Technical and Gameplay. Each has various sub-categories like we score in Story, Plot, Characters, Dialog, Canon Usage, etc... We'll score between 0-10 based on some simple guidelines for each category, and that's how we review a mission.
