Dark Places, Part one [WIP]

It's still a work in progress, and I can't continue until the foundry is back up. I am going to take my time on adding details to maps and I'll do my best to make it heavily story based with a decent amount of combat.

Quick Summary:

You have received a message, an encrypted one, but easy enough for a Starfleet officer to crack. The message is from a Admiral Scott Shepherd, a decorated Starfleet admiral. He requests you to come aboard his ship. What he will tell you is a threat so deadly, that it may possibly rival the Iconians...

Update #1, I've been working A little bit on the docs. Here is something from the dialogue.

*He shows you visual sensor recordings, a video of a ship arriving, emitting a pulse, then leaving. The video gets fuzzy, but the planet is quickly engulfed in a dark cloud, the cloud then quickly dissipates and the entire planet is dead. Oceans, vegetation, life... Gone.


Update# 2, Dark Places is released, however instead of working on part two, I'll wait for feedback, and improve upon part one. Later I will begin to work on part two. Cheers!

    Something that might rival the Iconians sounds very interesting. Looking forward to play the mission when you publish it.

    Hopefully the Foundry will be back on next week so I could make some changes to on one of my foundry missions, since the sector space revamp and start working on my 4th one.

    I hope foundry will be up soon. My urge is increasing. I'll keep updates about it, hinting or quoting a dialogue or so.

    Dark Places has now been released! You can go to foundry missions and type in "Dark Places". The rank requirement is currently 60. If you guys feel that's too high, then I can lower it.

    Great mission, but there are some mistakes. On the start of the mission the ships are a bit too close to each other, after beaming to the Endevour to talk to the Captain, the Chief Tactical Officer is facing the wrong way. He's facing away from the console. Although this mission is great, I could not complete it because I was stuck on the "Leave The Crew Deck" part of the mission.

    Here's a small tip, when you go to the Details in the Foundry, there are Volumes. Such as, Floater Volume. Low Gravity Volume and Space Environment Volume.

    The Floater Volumes lets you fly your floater if you have one. Just like on Risa (During the Summer Event). Low Gravity Volume is practically a dead give away. For the Space Environment Volume, you and your away team will have to wear EV Suits or you and your away team will just keep on dying after spawning. Forgot to add that there is also a Water Plane. This is used for underwater effect (Default Water Plane is best used). You won't see it if the height is at zero.

    Using the combination of Default Water Plane (10, 20, 40, 100 or 500ft), Space Environmental Volume and the Heatwaves Effect, it will give you the effect that you are actually underwater and your character will "drown and die" if you don't have an EV Suit.

    I would suggest that you test your mission and then go back to the Foundry and make corrections.
