edited May 29 in The Foundry for Star Trek Online - Mission Database
I have taken a step forward or backwards and wrote my own mission. (FED Base)


We have Lost Contact with our Station in the Salsa System. Our last Transmission indicated an assult from a Jem'Hadar and Cardassian Battle fleet. Break though the enemy Fleet and get to station
Currently still in review content but plese feel free to try it out and send back any feedback, either via the mission or this thread.

    Results of re-review: 2/5. Decent for a first effort but needs a lot of work.

    Pros: For a near-plotless phaserfest it's surprisingly fun, and the first two maps are designed reasonably well (the space map in particular is quite pretty). It would be a good mission to farm for True Way/Dominion-related accolades, too (the level of enemy spam is that high). Also, by pure coincidence it gave me a good opportunity to test out the addition of Torpedo: Spread I to the Andraste's repertoire. Engaging many targets at once isn't just for BFAW2 anymore!

    Cons: It's a near-plotless phaserfest and my personal preference is for missions with more intensive stories. Also, I'm the kind of guy who insists on a certain level of proofreading. The amount of typos in this mission were actually physically painful, an experience I don't think I've ever had before. Finally, there were a few unnecessary "reach marker" objectives: did you know you can trigger dialogs by using map-placed dialogs tied to a map marker by a "Component Reached" trigger instead?

    EDIT: Case in point regarding the typos: The OP says it's the Salsa System. The mission says "Salas". U type 2 fast, bro.

    thanks for input. I have now corrected most of the spelling errors and have now hopfully resovled boffs getting stuck in doorways, place bigger invisable walls around the frames.

    Please try out mission still under review content.

    I see it is hard to get mission reviewed, considering the number out there in the foundry.

    Just to help if this mission is for you, it is a combat space and ground mission spread over four maps. but unlike a isk farming one this one has a few objectives to complete on the way. It does have a little plot, if just basic.


    In time this will become more story based, but until I have played a few of the good ones, to get idea on times, amount of reading and got use to using the foundry tools, I thought I make my first attempt more fun.

    Beside I think I would need a year just proof reading.

    Best of luck to you, Its kinda weird getting used to the foundry Quirks, but it kinda feels rewarding when you figure out a cool trigger or something that aids the story

    As far as Typos go, that is a nightmare, i'm finding loads in my Work in progress mission, it seems like every time i preview it i find more typos

    Breaking lines is still down. currently working on a new map concept that will change the type of battles you have while moving though it. Also putting more of the story into it.
    In the mean time currently on review is a spin off farming mission called breaking lines farm. I know they are not well liked, but thought it be fun while I redesign my mission.

    Mission name now changed to
    battle lines. Fits better with the story line. Still off line. Have a few issues with a ground map. Can't seem to set spawn point without falling though foor? Ps when does a mission qualify for rewards?
