    Congrats, Hippie!

    BF, any word on rewards? It seems like it has been two months since they were on and off tribble. That's some bug.

    We're still working to resolve the issues with them and hope to have them out as soon as we can.

    Cheers,

    What exactly is the problem? Maybe your community could offer some helpful ideas for fixes :)

    5 out of 5 stars, 50 dilith, that's all I had. ;)

    1) Very good story. Nice closure to the Featured Episode arc.

    2) Fantastic use of the TOS set-pieces.

    3) Mini-Accolade system = great.

    4) Grammar was a bit rough in spots, and I spotted some typos. If they let you open it up again and edit, shoot me a private message here I'll help you fix it up.

    Will play it again, for sure. Nice, simple and a decent story to boot.

    Keep up the good work!

    If you add extra rewards for playing spotlighted foundry missions, you should also try to tackle the issue of grind/farm missions flooding the list of community authored missions. It's getting out of hand, where there is one "proper" foundry mission, there are at least 15 "fake" ones. Perhaps decreasing the rewards from "Investigate Officer Reports" when playing non-spotlighted missions or adding a simple vote system where players can ascribe a mission to be either a story or a grind quest could help to aleviate this problem.

    It's not that excessive, long grind missions shouldn't give any rewards or qualify for the Inv. Off. Rep., but I simply want two different lists. I don't want to have a list cluttered with this stupid kill mission when I am actually searching for "real" foundry missions.

    I'm dreaming again. I know Cryptic has been talking about such a feature for over a year now. The only thing delivered on time are lock boxes.

    Excellent mission.

    Highly recommend everyone play it. Great writing and loved how it tied into the Cryptic storyline mission so well. If they are the TOS interiors we get from the bridge pact, consider 1 copy sold.

    Again thanks Hippy for all your hard work. :)


    PS... couldn't tip on first run thru... will be tipping next time.

    Quoted in the hopes that somebody influential reads and thinks, "Wow. It could be profitable to put more c-store stuff into the Foundry. Maybe that should be a priority."

    That is what you get if you buy the c store TOS bundle.
    It's glorious.

    It was short, but it was well thought out.

    Love the attention to detail of the NPCs matching up with the NPCs from Night of the Comet and the "interaction" with the mailbox. Even had some decent humor with the Orion Bartender (though felt it got a bit overboard).


    Though one thing I'm surprised you didn't add to the storyline, is an explaination of the massive Paradox of Driffen's Comet. We blew it up in the past, yet it's there in the Future.

    Thanks for noticing the NPCs !
    That was actually the most time consuming as a large number of them had to be recreated for the mission as they are not available as assets.

    I thought about the Driften's Comet thing, and actually have a few ideas I may address in the future , or is that the past ?

    I was going to comment of there possiblity of making a Foundry mission that takes on the Comet Paradox. But for the life of me, I'm not sure how one could solve the Paradox easily.

    So whomever does it and does it convincingly, should be greatly rewarded.
