Foundry Withdrawal

edited June 2013 in The Foundry for Star Trek Online - Discussion & Feedback
It wasn't till the Foundry went down for maintaince that I realised just how much time I spent on there, I barely play the actual game now because I just love foundry that much and hate that I can't pop on at the end of work.

In the mean time I have got into playing Civilization again and going to the gym more often... I know... crazy. :rolleyes:

What have the rest of you been doing with your time since the temporary loss of foundry?

    I've taken the chance to really just play the game. It's pretty fun. But it is something I've been thinking about in terms of the podcast: what to talk about when the Foundry is down.

    So far I've come up with, in addition to our usual general topics:

    -Reviewed my own mission while doing a post-republish bug test
    -Talked about missions we've played in the past that have stood out
    -Dev Interview :D
    -And I was thinking this week about asking the guys: "What have you watched recently (tv, movies, whatever) that you could take something from and bring it back to your Foundry creations." Could be like a clever plot device or a narrative style, things like that.

    * Getting together with other Foundry fans like myself once a week to record a podcast relating to the Foundry.

    * Brainstorming and writing.

    * Actually playing the game.

    * Helping Found the KDF branch of the StarbaseUGC Fleet, "House of UGC"

    * Spending time in chat rooms with others who enjoy Foundry.

    And

    * Spending time outside the game with real life friends.

    Writing a detailed script for Part I of my upcoming Romulan trilogy. Not only have I finished that, I've even gotten a small headstart on Part II. :)

    Playing with my Romulan, I've been waiting for it for a very long time, so I would have done that with or without Foundry.
    Thinking of what would be cool to do with the Foundry once it get back. Either new stories I will never make because I won't have enough time (life's too short if you ask me), or something to add to the missions I'm working on.

    I play Star Trek almost exclusively for the Foundry. It's one of my few creative outlets and I NEEDS it.... my precious. I hope it's back soon. The waiting is killin' me. Does anyone know how much longer?

    Not really zorb, I had access first time I logged in post patch, but after I logged on a toon I couldn't get access.

    So... close. We're close.

    It's back, but it's very unstable. Try to avoid logging off and back on, as you may not be able to get back in.

    Note: Character creation in the Foundry appears to be disabled.

    Huh, you're right. I went back and checked and I could. I wonder if I just was trying at an odd time.

    Oh well, time to tag updates on all my missions and say [Romulan Friendly] or not.

    Yup the editor is back and we can now assign sound effects to objects. I haven't tested how this works yet.

    This is for Tribble, right? Character creation fails when I attempt to load the Foundry there.

    And I've been mainly keeping myself PvP active, as well as getting back to finishing Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda (personally one of my favourite TV shows).

    Im sure it will merely be called "Neath the Raptors wings". Then again Cryptic already stole that title from you :)

    No, it's called "Valley of the Shadow". Unlike my "Ghosts of War" series I don't think I'll be doing alternate titles for each individual mission; they'll just be called Part I, Part II and Part III.
