    You mean the Asteroid-Rock XXL 01? I tried that one but it didn't really work. What I'm looking for is an asteroid with only one open end like the one U.S.S. Pegasus stuck in the TNG episode. I also tried to search for the map used in mission ?Operation Gamma? in which the player go into an asteroid but couldn't find it ;_;

    Like this?

    I posted this in the entires thread just now:
    Hi Authors,

    As a reminder, the deadline/publish date for your missions is tomorrow, Wednesday, May 8th. Please do not publish them until 10AM PDT tomorrow, or, as close as you can get to that time (i.e. if you have to work at 7am PDT tomorrow, publish it before you leave for work, or tonight, or whenever :) Just as late as possible, but by 10am PDT tomorrow.)

    Also, please remember that you need to reply to this thread with its information in the format lasted in the OP (this needs to be filled out completely by the due date/ time for your mission to be considered. If I can't find your mission published in-game tomorrow around 10am PDT, I won't be able to add it to the voting thread.).

    Thanks, and good luck! :)

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=

    I just hope crypticfrost finds out what's stopping me from doing any FUNCTIONAL modifications to my entry by the time I get back from school, or there won't be any entry left to speak of.

    And even if he does... there's still a chance that I'll be forced to drop out because it won't be fixable, and if it does, this'll be the Foundry Authors Academy competition all over again... :cool:

    Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.p3OEBPD6HU3QI.jpg

    I finished my mission. Turns out a massive bug makes it almost unplayable. The shuttle disappears in my shuttle mission and folks get to fly blind.

    You are not alone, lol.

    Yeah exactly, how did you build this?


    What I did was placing the XXL rock 01 in a line so the rings lines up to create a tunnel, but then I need another rock to block one end and that never happen. My problem is the Y position of objects never goes to where I want them to, they either go to -48 or 0 or 111 and that's it. I also wanted to place a ship in the tunnel and it goes right into the rock and again I can't adjust the Y position to the right place. How did you resolve that kind of problem?

    I hope they fix the sever down quickly, I still have the last part to finish ;_;

    Yeah can we get an extra day or two Brandon? These server outages have coincided with my Foundry work time. There have been extensions in the past.

    There were extensions when the Foundry was offline for extended periods, but we'll proceed as planned for tomorrow's due date of 10AM PDT.

    Thanks for understanding.

    The last time the sever crashed down it took them 6 hours to fix it I think. Well if that happens again you will not be up along tonight:D

    I was thinking that too, but looks like all is up and running now. Just have to avoid the temptation to spend the time on Tribble.

    I hope its a Romulan one Foundry Challenge.

    I could do a really cool mix of BSG and Trek, since the Romulan story is similar to 1978 show and movie, just look at the Elathi's ship it looks like a Basestar and the uniforms.

    "By Your Command"

    Centurion actually makes sense this time LOL

    This is frustrating, I deleted a whole chunck of my mission to make it comply with it being a shuttle mission and within the time restrictions.
    Alot of these entrys are just long ground missions!
    Dont get me wrong, some amazing stories and creations here, but I wish people would play careful attention to the rules! :(

    But Branflakes said it was OK to have ground so long as it was only a little to progress the story. Not that the shuttle bit be for just the 'Approach system' and 'leave system'.
    To be fare, im only complaining about it because I deleted the best part of my entry to make it comply with the rules! :(


    Additional:
    OH MY Q!... I read the reviews and some of the suggestions are exactly the things that I did delete! (Fly out of exploding Cells/Tougher Ground Combat/Exploration of Ship wreckage that fills in Story loops).
    I forgot to fill in the story 'holes' afterward too!... ah well, so long as people enjoyed it, thats all that matters lol

    Hum...well, personally I read the rule as the mission has to be done in a shuttle, otherwise the story plot doesn't make sense OR most of the space scenes are too small to maneuver a starship in it.

    The situation doesn't meet the rule would be a mission in which a shuttle is not a necessary element. If the player never switch to a shuttle and find the story still go on just fine then there is a problem.

    It can just be me though.

    I guess I cant talk, because I shorterned my mission to try and comply with the time rule, I essentially made it a mission you could do with a ship! :(
    oh well :rolleyes:
    I wont be around for the next one or two Competitions so at least you guys wont have to put up with my whinning :D
