Aye, I'm hoping they were planning on that anyway. If not, please please please please! The new maps look fantastic and it would be great to use them even more in foundry missions.
Im just hoping they update some of the maps/doorways like the Drozana Station!
And quickly! lol

i agree, these maps are very good and a would be nice to have them in the foundry. but i also would like to rather have more important missing things in the foundry than these maps...
Please, Cryptic, please add some of the amazing new maps from LoR into the Foundry!
- Taris' base ("Revelations")
- I.R.W. Khnial interior ("Cloak and Dagger")
- Tal Shiar Adapted bridges
- I.R.W. Yhisu interior ("Enemy Action")
- Virinat, both clean and invaded maps (Tutorial)
- Crateris ("Crossroads at Crateris")
- Delta Corvi ("Cloak and Dagger")
- Romulan ship interiors, including bridge and engineering
I know it takes time to add maps, but they're just so amazing! We need them like we need oxygen!
What? you left out the new Borg interiors....(or is that Delta Korvi?) they are soooo awesome! but yeah, the full Knial interior would be great to have! (even better than giving people with the Talshiar ships that, currently they only get a peice of it)
I hope one day we will be able to make map like Rhi atmosphere defense.
hmm.... I was just pondering and.... hehehe.... Rhi does seem to be a hybrid of a space and ground map. It has the sort of scenery that you see on ground maps, but at a different scale. Also.... it does use gravity, except for flying units(like shuttles).
Some aspects could be simulated with a space map. But we can't actually restrict people from using real ships. It's possible to take a bunch of stuff and make a giant flat surface in space that the battles take place on top of. there are props that would make great simulated buildings.... er... well, they already ARE buildings, but asteroid facilities not colony buildings.

I would love to see a huge Space-and-Ground PvP map centered around an asteroid. Players could battle each other on the ground in EV suits while up above them others are slugging it out in their starships.
Also great would be the ability to add the "Elachi invasion" ambiance to Foundry maps: huge ships in the sky, walkers crushing everything, drones grabbing screaming colonists, etc.
A New Romulus map (though maybe a bit smaller) would also be useful.

I hope to see a selection of background images for pop-ups to be used.
Some are appearing here and there in the main story line and even outside, in PvE missions and such.
It would bring a new life to the foundry, allowing these backgrounds to be accessed would make, in my opinion, the user feel more involved, as if they really where there and not just reading some box on a screen.

You mean the one in "Sleepers"? That one too.
