An update for you guys. We do have a winner. Since we've partnered with Cryptic on this one I want to let Kael do the announcement, but I don't know exactly when he can fit that in their schedule. We're dealing with short weeks and people taking holiday vacations.
Yeah the Foundry is offline following Tuesday's patch. Don't worry it's a routine procedure, but there's not really any predicting how long it will take. Whenever it comes back, everyone will have an extra four days to get their votes in.
As a heads up, we've been told there's going to be a republish with the launch of AoD on Oct. 9. If that comes with some downtime, we'll extend the deadline four days past whenever editing comes back online.

Full mission details: Mission Title: "Mysteries and Familiar Faces" Author: @zectosh Faction: FED Level requirement: Any Level Mission Summary: While investigating the disappearance of ships and crewman in the Hana system, it becomes clear that there is more going on. What could be behind these strange occurrences? Perhaps…
Alright folks, today is the day! Have your missions published by 4 p.m. US Pacific Time. We do recognize this is a hobby that we all do and sometimes real life stuff gets in the way, so if your mission is done but you can't publish by exactly the right time please let me know right away. I'll be compiling the final list of…
Obviously there is common sense to be exercised here. If you name a character James, no one is going to come after you for EULA violations because that happens to be James Doohan's first name. Still, the advice we always give is simple: you are generally better off just making up your own characters.
Mission journal is in pretty bad shape. On numerous characters I can't even access it. The "Hail Starfleet" button is greyed out. This includes characters that had been transferred previously and one I just transferred today. On the character I can see the journal on, many buttons to play, replay or skip missions were…
Here's the link to last night's show. One thing to note is I said at the top of the show we had two entries, well since then we've had a bunch more people throw their hat in the ring! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGMyx_1dN-U&feature=youtu.be
We're going to have a special episode of the Foundry Roundtable tonight (Tuesday) at 4:30 p.m. US Pacific Time at twitch.tv/thefoundryroundtable to talk about the challenge. If anyone has any questions that's a great time to come and ask them. I'll also post the youtube version to this thread as soon as it's compiled.

I think it's been overstated. I recently built a small mission and had no trouble at all. If you encounter anything specific, don't hesitate to ask to for help. We've got a lot of experience lurking around and we should be able to help.
By and large we want people to submit missions made within the challenge window. That puts everyone on the same footing. I also agree with Duncan. Getting Cryptic to re-engage with the Foundry begins with efforts like this. And having recently made a mission, albeit a single map showcase, I didn't encounter anything that…
All Foundry missions can be played as a team. Some are going to be built better for it than others. Best bet is to read the description and see of the author mentions anything.
I'm open to doing another challenge before ViL launches. My thought process was that because we just finished one I shouldn't overload people with challenges and should put some space in between them. However, looking at the calendar, if the downtime with 14.5 is short, we would have plenty of time to get one done before…
One thing for you Ricky, don't worry if anything in your mission is contradicted by something we put in the pilot episode. That's our fault for not buckling down and having it out prior to the contest. You continue making the mission(s) you want to make :) Anyway. I know Duncan has some thoughts on the finale, but my plan…
Hey everyone. Rickysmith is having trouble and we want him to get his mission up. So I am extended the deadline one day for everyone. New deadline is 4 p.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday.
Couple quick notes: obviously we wanted to be starting this months ago, nobody anticipated the epic downtime would run into the holidays. We may run into some more downtime (hopefully just the regular kind) and the contest will be paused if/when that happens and picked up again afterwards. No helping it. Character…
Ok folks, the release date for Season 14 has just been posted. It'll be releasing Tuesday, Oct. 3. I'm going to assume there will be downtime associated with it. The mission building challenge will start immediately after downtime is over, so hopefully it will not get interrupted like last time. There will be a prompt for…
