Hey everyone,

    Supposedly the Foundry should be on Holodeck 'Soon' since the last engineering report wanted it out by the end of this weekly arc. It is back on Tribble though, so that's forward progress!

    I'm new here.

    What exactly is The Foundry?

    The Foundry is a toolkit created by Cryptic Studios that will allow the average, ordinary player to create their own missions in Star Trek Online, and allow others to play and rate them according to a 5 star ratings system.

    Right now, the Foundry is in beta on Star Trek Online's Tribble Test Shard, which you can sign up for.

    For video tutorials, tips, and tricks, visit http://www.starbaseugc.com/ where people like myself invest way too much time to be healthy. :p

    even though foundry is on test server i cant see there being much dif to how it works on holodeck to how it works here, you have to create a foundry char to test your missions so you wont use your normal chars an you dont need to as you have god mode when testing.

    it is actually really polished at the min with how it works, it can get confusing at times but the tutorials made by players are really good and even just messing about for a few hours u get the hang of things so if you want to use foundry just send a char over to tribble and then create your foundry char, it dont take long an the patching isnt a major headache, only dif is the tribble server can go up and down at free will and at any time for the changes in the testing and mini patches for the bug hunting.

    The big build for the Foundry just got pushed to Tribble from Redshirt.

    It includes:
    • branching dialogue (include wrong answers)
    • triggers (if this happens or is happening, then x appears or disappears)
    • custom sky layers (want a binary star system? want stars and nebula?)
    • pathfinding fixes (fewer boffs stuck in corners)

    Ensuring this build works as intended after publishing a mission is crucial as this is likely to be the same feature-set being pushed to Holodeck, apparently.

    (Note: publishing was only recently fixed on redshirt, so republishing missions or publishing ones to test the new features would be welcome to ensure this is a stable build for holodeck).

    Theyve been saying "sooner than you think" for a while now. So...yeah.
