Foundry and Rewards

So, there's really no denying it, we're facing a content drought in the coming several weeks. At least by what cryptic is telling us. Once Foundry goes live, though, hopefully soon, we'll get a good influx of content, though.

There's just one problem, alot of us, epsecially myself, but other role players as well, have a hard time muscling through the more Bog Standard missions, especially when we get all kinds of really top notch story based missions. It just leaves us wanting more like that. The foundry is a great way to get access to that sort of thing, as evidenced by the Featured Foundry missions.

But that still leaves us without any gained Skill Points, no reward for doing these missions save the story itself. While I do enjoy them, I still feel like there should be something to it, especially since I still don't have a single character up to even Rear Admiral yet. Cryptic really needs to let us know what their plans are for giving us rewards for Foundry Missions. They've touched on this, but still haven't given us anything defenite, and it's something we need to have when foundry launches, I feel.

We can most certainly help by trying to devise a means of doing so in a balanced way as well, and discussing it would let them know that this is a problem that needs to be adressed.

    The only real reward i could i think of that would be fair would be DO X amount of highly stared player missions and get a reward. That way u couldnt just pick 2 second missions and run them over and over again to get reward, but must participate in what the genreal community views as great episodes and once u complete X amount of those u attain something.

    Last I checked, Foundry missions do give you skillpoints.

    You just can't set custom reward items in order to avoid exploitation. I can see it now, your choice of Very Rare Mk XII ship weapon (BoE), a Very Rare BOFF & 2500 skillpoints for a mission called 'Kill the Gorn', in which you encounter, and kill a gorn. Roll credits. :p

    They did say we might see some sort of 'appropriate' rewards added by cryptic hands though.
