    On the 10th April at 21:00 (GMT+1) i'll be running an event to play some of the best Foundry missions one last time.

    Hopefully some of the fleet will join me but i'm open to any suggestions as to what we play. There's a tonne of good missions out there, literally months of content that is going to be bulldozed by Cryptic. Cry

    So please feel free to post some names of the best missions you've come across in your travels. Live Long and Prosper

    Honor of Ferasa
    created by sirboulevard

    I replayed that one yesterday with my Ferasan (of course captaining a Ferasan Slithus Escort!) and I really like how this foundry gives an insight on their culture. It ties in elements from the TAS episode "The Slaver Weapon" as well as the DOFF chain "Unforgiven of Ferasa".

    We're gonna miss the foundry missions that made easy work out of the daily endeavors...

    I've messed around with the Foundry on a few occasions, but nothing too grand or impressive. Mainly just messing around. Although I didn't use it too much, I'll be sad to see it go. I'll miss messing around with creating my own missions.

    That was a big sell when this game launched, feels like if this is going, the rest of game might not be too far behind it all together, which would be a shame. Unless someone puts together a new updated one Big Grin

    Update: if you had any foundry missions in progress as the foundry got shut down, they can still be accessed. You can still do them, at least from the point of where you left them at.

    They didn't remove the foundry, they simply pulled out the editor and the mission start handles. That's basically feature-cutting for end users.

    The foundry is still there, they'll probably work it under the hood and use it as an internal, built-in dev tool.

    That's that. Exploit your endeavor missions before they remove them from the mission logs too. It's a last time we do easy endeavors when they're supposed to be time consuming! Once more to the foundrymobile!

    They stated when they announced its closing that they will be archiving the foundry missions. Best guess is the missions will be available until they are finished with the archive. Then they will be shut down for good. Cryptic does not use the foundry tool for development because if they did, the foundry wouldn’t have died.

    You are correct though, use them while you can. I suspect they will be gone for good sometime this summer.

    What the devs state vs what the devs (contractually) do are different things. The foundry can be easily adjusted to be a QA testing tool.

    It's basically a debug tool with an extended editor. And it's a no-no to have any debug tool in the release/live clients of any product.

    Having an extensive QA team would be a great change for STO.
