Allow foundry authors to receive rewards from their missions.

As title says. There should be no reason a person cannot get rewards from their own mission when playing it for fun or with others.

    Authors can then make it so they can finish the mission faster (secret console/short-cut or something like that) and farm there own mission in secret.
    And yes i would do that !!!

    -.- This is no excuse. By this same logic, no rewards should be given at all to anyone since people can exploit and farm like they used to at SFA (unless they still do that.)

    TRIBBLE that... How about giving the players some fancy reward for doing X mission?

    Maybe a blue/purple piece of space/ground equipment?

    Call it the "Foundry Box" Everytime you complete a mission you get a "Foundry Box" which contain a random Blue/Purple Level scaled piece of equipment.

    They need to give at least something.

    "Hey fleeties, I uploaded a new foundry mission, at the second dialog, type /holymoly in fleet chat, then full impulse to the green moon for instant win, get your rewards and pour them into our new fleet project, tier 5 by sunday!"

    Every user created content item is potentially exploitable, should we close the foundry?

    I would really like this, but it seems somehow inappropriate, exploiting aside. Would be really nice though.

    Wasn't this the problem with grinders? If the Foundry gives better rewards than the normal missions, we'll be buried in 'Admiral Bobo' TRIBBLE again.

    And to the OP...no, just no. It's WAY too exploitable. Legit authors may suffer a little - but it's well worth the trade off.

    Again, are people ignoring the fact that the current foundry is just as exploitable?

    No, I'm just pointing out the fact that every time a suggestion like this comes around, the same people go, "Too exploitable" every time, yet seem to ignore the prior incidents and act like the current system ain't exploitable atm.

    lol dude it is.

    I make a mission... say my new one "Rise of Mol'Rihan" (Shameless ad) It gets qualified... then boom!

    all I need to do is remove all the maps... have you go to X npc and boom... done and 1k-3k dil per run.

    The daily "Investigate Officer Reports" wrapper already does work with your own missions, so there's that at least.

    But there's no reason that should be the only thing. The whole "well such and such can be exploited" excuse just doesn't fly. People will go to great lengths to exploit anything, regardless of what it is.

    If tey can stop bush-wacking, they could stop any potential exploits with any other system update.
