A Few Words Of Thanks

I just wanted to say thanks to all of you foundry authors who have kept me constantly enthralled, entertained and excited with your amazing missions during my time in game.
When I first started playing STO I was a little disappointed by a lot of the Episode missions. Some were great, but for every Temporal Ambassador, there was a lot of go to this system, kill 5 ships, land Kill 10 Aliens, beam up and kill more ships.
The I discovered The Foundry.
My Captain and his crew have had some superb adventures, since the first Foundry Mission I played, Relics by Kirkfat, which was more Star Trek than any episode I had played up till then.
Since that first jaunt into The Foundry I've played some fantastic, hand crafted missions, The Infinite Realities Series, by Captain Revo, The Reg Barclay's Daughter Series and The Computers Daughter By XR-377 and many, many more.
Lots of these stories would not be out of place in a Next Generation Season or on DS9.
I wish you guys were treated better by Cryptic, given more tools and have the bugs in the foundry given a higher priority, because after I have played all the episodes and grinded all the Rep, its the Foundry that keeps us me coming back to play and paying my sub.
My hope for the future is that Cryptic put some more resources into the foundry and some how rewards you guys for the excellent work you do. Including some of the best Foundry Missions in the Official Episodes would be a start, but I would love them to go further and give you access to the full suite of tools that Cryptic use to create their missions. Hell they should pay you for the best of the best mission content.
So once again thanks guys and girls for all the amazing missions you have created. Its what keep me playing and what keeps me paying. Take note Cryptic.

Thank you for posting this feedback. It really feels good to read, particularly after a month, in which game updates caused many of our missions to break (and we could not fix). Knowing that there is still some goodwill out there is nice to know, after many weeks of player frustration with Foundry missions.
I really appreciate your kind words for the Foundry community. It would really help us if there were more players like you, who voiced their support for us and what we do.
Thank you. And thanks for the shout-out for "Relics."
Thank you for your Thank you xD
I would really like a toolset like the one present in the Neverwinter Foundry. The things I could do to spice my mission up with some of those tools.... >.<
My Foundry Missions:
The Wave Empire Series: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=279751
I know I'm not alone in loving the foundry and everyones work. All my fleet mates love the Foundry and the great missions you guys and girls do too.
if only we have a way to subscribe to our favourite authors like on youtube I think you would see how many of us players love your work. This would encourage people to make even better content and this in turn would get more people playing Foundry missions.
Come on Cryptic, you know it makes sense.

Thanks
I think the Foundry is one of the most under appreciated part of STO. And the Foundry mission authors are certainly among the best and brightest of us. They give generously of their time, without pay, to share some pretty amazing stories with us. Stories which are most times superior to the 'official' episodes. Some of them show some incredible ingenuity in how they use the tools of STO to do something different. Some of them are wickedly funny while remaining true to the spirit to Star Trek. All of them show that love of Star Trek and this game will remain. Regardless of the naysayers and negativity.
Thank you, authors. Your stories are the true endgame content of STO.
It's comments like this that keep me making missions. Thanks.
I agree with this sentiment wholeheartedly!
