Fleet Starbase - Foundry

Good Afternoon, Morning, Evening and Night all!

Before I get started, SHARD MAINTENANCE SUCKS! I seem to play at the times it is always scheduled :( Anyhow....

I am trying to build a Foundry mission for my fleet. With the main purposes being to help new members, and those new to fleets, know the benefits of being in a fleet. Especially a growing and helpful one like the one I am a member of.

Obviously, I want to promote the social and information side of things but also need to emphasise the importance and reasons for contributing to fleet projects.

As such I have started trying to build my own Fleet Starbase map to show people around. A couple of requests and questions therefore follow:

1) Do Cryptic have any plans to make the Fleet Starbase map available on the Foundry?

2) Any tips on creating my own and/or achieving my above goal?

3) If anyone has the time, please checkout my Foundry mission, the name of which keeps changing, but the name always includes "Fleet Induction" and is by myself jamie2fingers83. Critisism (constructive) is welcome.

Thanks in advance.

    plans to, the 'answer' is sure, but has to be looked at through the filter of time. Basically its a matter of someone having the time to put a map into the foundry, and that one has a few challenges as well, considering the most likely version they would put in would be the 'full unlock' one. So if you havent spent your 2 million dilithium or whatever the final total is, there is a good chance the interior wouldnt llook like 'your starbase'

    Right now though we dont have a timeframe on when this will be.


    Now with all that said, you could easily build an 'induction facility' on a map in order to aquatint everyone to what you want. For note, there is no shuttlebay map presently for a starbase, so you can build your own for orientation purposes. Or you could build a standard interior or a ground base. Nothing says that fleet induction has to happen on that pillar of metal floating in the cold of space after all :)

    There are no confirmed plans to add any maps to the foundry at this time.

    Much appreciate your reply and to be honest, most of it is what I expected, all be it not what I was hoping for!

    I'm currently building what I think you are describing in your last paragraph and would appreciate your comments on what I have done so far (once the shard is back up!).

    Mission name is S*g*a Task Group Fleet Induction
    Reason for the *'s is that it has not been fully endorsed as an idea by my fleet yet but I think it will be in the next day or two.

    TIA,

    Just a big fat NO.

    If any other question regarding implementation of anything ever crosses your mind again, just think NO and move on.

    In 95% of all cases the devs will break something that is already in the foundry before fixing something or introducing something new that actually works flawless.
