    Nagorak's "Atlas" 3-parter is stunningly crafted. Plays like it's own, professionally written stand alone Trek game. Not only is it the best Foundry mission, I'll say it's the best mission you'll find in all of STO. Incredibly written and detailed, multifaceted and smart puzzles, and the maps are expansive and immersive.

    At three chapters, you're looking at easily spending a 9-10 hour stretch playing through all of this. Took me two nights to play it all and I didn't even choose all the possible avenues that Nagorak lays out for you.

    Run, don't walk, to play this series. I need to not play foundry for awhile because this trilogy sets the bar so impossibly high. : o )

    I just finished the Overture series by KineticImpulser. Great story, humor, and encyclopedic knowledge of Trek lore. Probably an hour+ each for the 6 part though I found 5 and 6 somewhat longer. He also his previews of each part on his YouTube channel under the same name that are pretty good and worth checking out!

    The Star Trek: Starfleet Odyssey series is one of the best series I have played. It is exceedingly well written and has well developed characters. (Though considering there are 40 missions, that isn't a surprise.) Hell there's even an option to marry one of the characters! :eek: Do note that the author is dyslexic, and thus prone to some spelling and grammar mistakes, though they don't really detract from the missions.

    This series and the Atlas series are the bar I hold 5 stars at. :D

      "The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."

      Hi captains, can you recommend some missions with eye-catching maps? I really like the 'trek' part of this game. Mayby you have some screenshots?

      Maps in explore strange new worlds were usually nice.

      "Shore Leave Under Siege" - Large and detailed map of the city of Rixx, on the never-seen-but-often-mentioned world of Betazed.

      "Treasure of Argelius" - the hedonistic world from TOS's 'Wolf in the Fold", aged 200 years and painstakingly built and populated in a way not possible back then, returns.

      First ones that leap to mind.

      Purity so far, so much so that I am depressed having to go something else until 4 and 5 get added back to the foundry.

      Their is one that starts in the Bomari system. Its basically The Hunt for Red October, right down to the text in some parts. It was made as a tribute to the author of The Hunt for Red October: Tom Clancy. It was amazing piece of work. Reaps in a lot dil as well.
      Proud Trekkie Favorite episode from TOS is The Doomsday Machine TNG: Yesterday's Enterprise VOY: Endgame part 1 and 2 DS9: Emissary ENT: Assmilation

      I was searching around for a "what have you played recently?"-type thread and couldn't find any, so I guess this one will do!

      I went searching for an Orion-themed mission, and found Silent Space. It's an older KDF mission, and fairly simplistic compared to some, but even if it's just stock maps and reskinned mobs, it's pretty fun! It doesn't fall into the trap of being too ambitious for its own good, and tells a believable intimidation story.

      I wish there was a follow up, but it doesn't look like one was ever made. I can't find any other missions by the author.

      The thread I created in December didn't get much attention, but it's newer than this one. If you think it will help, feel free to post to it. Or just brows it. :)

      Hi :) I would also be very curious if there are any newer Romulan Republic missions you guys can recommend?
    • helixfungushelixfungus Member Posts: 172 Arc User
      A mission that spawns to mind for me is "Latinum can't buy me love", a nice, warm little mission that lift the heart. Have to play Some of the missions you mentioned, however I recommend wholeheartedly everything done by @johnnysnowball, and if you are in a TOS mood, everything done by @rickysmith1.
    • zedbrightlander1zedbrightlander1 Member Posts: 14,782 Arc User
      Well, I enjoy @rickysmith1 missions, if that's worth anything. :)
