Toss me some foundry mission ideas

I may have turned my back on the rest of the game, but I still like doing foundry stuff. I like making Star Trek content. I just finished Epohh's Day, Crimes of The Many, and Imperfection, so I'm out of ideas for now. I want to make some more missions, and I need some inspiration. So that's where you come in!
Have you ever had a foundry idea that you decided not to do, or didn't know how to do, or you don't make foundry missions but just had an idea bouncing around in your head for one? Post it here, and if the shining light of my interest lands on it, you might see it turned into reality.
Can be anything. A war story, a mystery, a comedy, an adventure, anything (except romance, yiiiih, I hate that).

I ask nothing but that you remember me.

Was thinking it could be good for a less combat focused mission, maybe have some diplomacy with other trapped ship crews, Never really got far with the idea

There's grinding missions for that.
Well I wouldn't say no to a more serious Battle mission with a plot, But it will fall afoul of author limitations in that we can't make Boss Battles
You don't get Lindaleff's request :P. His minimum dialogue will be, '"Here's this enemy, stop them from doing ETC, attack!'
Well hes welcome to make that for himself
The Gallery of lost Missions
With all these wars Cryptic started and forgot about, I figured why not show that they still exist. I'm thinking maybe Voth, since they're pretty recent but still put aside for Undine. And they have guns to shoot, compared to Tholians and Undine.
Far away from the front lines of the most recent conflict, the wars rage on. The stories of victories and sacrifices in the Dyson Sphere and Fluidic Space will forever be told, but what about the battles that no one will remember?
And it's finished.
When I was working in the foundry I was working on an intertwining FED/KDF serie where momentarily only 2 of 6 are published (both fed). Why not create two missions where you actually play both sides of the same story?
*Allergic reaction* I don't play KDF. :O
Edit: Since this one is finished, I need more new ideas! Fuel my insatiable need to build missions!

Quite simply: making a Dyson Sphere map.
Do you think you'd be able to somehow create a mission taking place inside a Dyson Sphere?
I have had a couple ideas of how a story could work where the Dyson Sphere wouldn't have to look exactly like in game, but I never really got it to work up to the standard I would want to see, and I don't want to take the time it takes to make it look right. I tried making one that had been assimilated by the Borg, where the "ground" was a whole lot of Borg cube objects, but the object limit got in the way of it working well enough.
Another idea was where the Breen found one without anyone knowing a totally redid it's environment, making it habitable to Breen without those refridgeration suits.
Or perhaps one with the Dominion building a Dyson Sphere of their own? After all, the Gamma Quadrant as a whole must have the resources. The Dyson Sphere built by the Dominion wouldn't be filled with Dyson tech, but it'd be an interesting object to base a story on.
Just a few ideas... :cool:
Winning.
Oh, now don't tell me you want in on all this! Well, ok. Look this that Egg Pawn hanging outside your window, pointing his laser rifle at you, waiting for my next order. He's doing his part. He helps conquer the weak-minded. He roboticizes the weak-bodied. Heck, he even helps keep the useless people from causing any trouble, but you know what? Join. Find the closest Nataran Empire roboticization center near you and join the ranks, before the ranks find you. Oh, I know, you figure it must be so satisfying to know I basically rule the world now, and you know what? It is, but do you want to know the true definition of satisfaction? Well, let me tell you a little story. One day, you see a brand new event. They're giving out boxes that give old event stuff. Your dilithium is plentiful. You buy a whole lot of Phoenix packs on your main, and open them all. You get one epic token. Then, you decide, that since you have all the Breen ships and don't give a damn about the others, you exchange it for an ultra rare, and grab yourself a Jem'Hadar Attack Ship and for the hell of it, a Voth Bulwark. You open both, leaving the Bulwark in your vast masses of starships as you jump into the bugship and deck it out, deck by deck, into the most awesome Jem'Hadar ship you can. You fly it. You enjoy it. Eventually, you get bored and leave, leaving the old Bulwark never flown... until later. Your main is long complete. Your new alt main, based off some character you pulled out of nothing just to explain away some starship being in service without the command of your dear admiral, is also complete. Mostly. Their reps and doffs are hard at work, getting you stuff. You realize the potential, and head back for your dear admiral, pull the most Voth themed build you can out of thin air, and suit up in your giant ship in the shape of you know what. You head out... and cause all sorts of havoc. Enemies scream out your name as their very life is drained away by your swarms of Aceton Assimilators. They complain to the devs of your OPness when you revive yourself from death every time you die. Do you show any form of mercy? No. After all, this isn't the United Federation of Planets, this is mother frakkin' Starfleet, where you explore strange new worlds and kick butt never kicked before. Oh, and you realize that I just wrote another speech rivaling your own signature. Cool. Oh, wait, that's just the original draft, it is part of my signature now. Oh, and yes, I am aware that I have become a Canadian Regent; one day, sooner than you'd expect, we'll suddenly decide to take over the world and declare an "alliance", and I shall become it's Regent. You know, like the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance in the mirror universe of our beloved Star Trek. Oh, who'll we be taking over with? I dunno, maybe [REDACTED], or maybe aliens from outer space. Guess you'll have to wait and find out, won't we? Until then, don't ask too many questions, or else my Breen allies on Titania might pick up on your -- [REDACTED BY BREEN CONFEDERACY FOR REASONS] Also, psst... keep an eye out for flying Tribbles! Also walls. Big, great walls, separating entire continents apart. Walls patrolled by Tribbles. Flying Tribbles. Flying Nukara Tribbles. Don't worry, it's not like they were on Venus with a herd of Tholians or anything, they just like the extreme heat and brutal weather like acid rain and hurricane force winds as the norm. Oh, and definitely keep your eye out on any two-tailed foxes, because if they ain't glowing, they're definitely an imposter. Possibly an Undine, we caught one of those once in my place once. Oh, and if you find a two-tailed fox that doesn't like the cold... most certainly ask him to say sorry. If he refuses, DESTROY HIM WITH A DOOMSDAY MACHINE, BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH AGAINST SUCH AN OVERPOWERED IMPOSTER!
tr;dr, I am winning last post wins 3.0. Thank you for your time.
Indeed I did, thanks for mentioning it. I have an idea I may not get around to. A story based on the glitch where randomly generated officers speak to you instead of your bridge crew. Perhaps it could be reviewed that the unknown bridge officer is infact all in the players head. A projection by an alien power or something. Y'know like the inner light or one of those wired voyager episodes.
Parallels: my second mission for Fed aligned Romulans.
Your ship is carrying Federation ambassadors to a member world that supplies rare materials to the Federation. A civil war is threatening to break out over a civil-rights dispute and the Federation would like to broker a peaceful resolution.
En-route, your ship inexplicably drops out of warp. Engineering emergency, or deliberate sabotage? Your captain needs to solve the mystery and prevent the mediation from falling apart.

Sounds like a good place to start to me, the only issue I can see is the limitations of interior maps
Hence one of my frustrations.

I might be able to pull something off using props.

I am thinking about going back to the basics with the next installment of my foundry series, back to the style and concept from Of Morals and Ethics.
I agree. I was thinking about an TNG episode, when there was some kind of a trial aboard the ship, but I quite cant remember what was it about (not the Data sentience trial).

The Drumhead?
No no no, something that involved some aliens, some discrimination or religious dogmas and Prime Directive getting in the way of the right thing problem.
