With Foundry Down What's Everyone Doing For EC?

I liked doing the Foundry missions to get new gear and EC for my Alts.

What can we do now to get those things while we are waiting for them to fix the Foundry?

Please post your favorite EC and gear gathering missions.

    I play the game.

    The contested zone in the Dyson sphere or Starbase 24 are good ways to earn EC.

    The AdSys actually pays very well, 10k and up for some assignments and more with the right events. I've had some characters make 250k or more in the last week doing nothing but Admiralty assignments...

    People played Foundry Missions for baubles and trinkets and not to enjoy the fruits of the Communities labors? Oh, what a world!!! :)

    Buy low, sell high.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    Considering every story I've tried on there is bad, I don't really find myself surprised.

    I've played several of those. Sorry that I have taste and you don't. It's all amateur rubbish. People pretending they can write when they really just stink at it. They need to go back to their day jobs.

    Most of them are mediocre but I've found a few that were outright offensive.

    EC atm?
    - Craft low level guns, upgrade and sell.
    - Play elite contend and sell materials.
    - Focus efforts in new Admiralty missions on EC rewards.

    What, you mean that USER Generated Content isn't living up to a professional standard? The horror! Next you'll tell me that little league hockey teams really can't cut it in the NHL. Still, that shouldn't stop them from enjoying what they do. You're not obligated to watch, but heckling the tykes is the epitome of bad form.

    Possibly. I'll stand as a relatively neutral third party on this one because while I am now a "Foundry Author" none of my missions made it to that list so I also have "indignant outrage!" to play off from.

    That list is a pretty thorough sampling of perhaps older (the Iconian War anthology doesn't appear to be included either), higher-quality foundry content. Of course not all of them are spotlight quality but its nothing to scoff at without turning into that guy (who mocks a children's soccer/football match for not having enough contact). If you're new to the system (and are finished with the easily viewable top missions and foundry spotlight) then its not a bad place to randomly select from. That said, there aren't many at all I've found in sector block top 3's which I regretted spending time with so just flying around and seeing what's out there (you know, like exploration) isn't a bad way of getting into foundry missions either.
