The Spotlight missions are usually good, and so are all the 4/5-star ones I've played. Haven't seen any Ferasan/Caitian missions and if "E" stands for what I think it does that's probably a TOS violation. Whatever Star Trek Online is full of creepy furry Foundry missions is not the one I play.

Uh, the entire Purity series is listed as "Spotlight" missions, so... might want to watch where you point that thing.

Any foundry mission that is focused on space combat? The spotlight missions seem to be usually a mix of space and ground.

Quality foundry missions? As NoP's unofficial canary in the Foundy mine, this is what I'd recommend for someone just starting and trying to avoid getting burned on obviously awful missions: * First Cause, then Effect (FED) * The Syndicate Extraction (FED) * The Bijor series (FED) * The Fire in Which we Burn (KDF) * Hero of the Empire (KDF) * Blood, Bij and Honor (KDF) Tentatively suggested: * A Dental Appointment (FED) * A Klingon Honor Carol (KDF) * Daughter of the Computer (FED) / Son of the Computer (KDF) Under no circumstances should you, a foundry beginner, be fooled into playing: * the Purity series * the sequels to The Fire in Which we Burn * any mission by Ashkrik23 * that Brony mission * the Psych Evaluation * missions involving Helna as more than a side character Atrayonis fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Jun 5, 2014 |

kafziel posted:... there's a Brony mission, you say. I'm not sure why you'd want to play it. It's a Guardians of Equestria fleet history mission, aggressively boring and preachy ("oh look, <former leader> turned out to be a fascist/lazy/a total douche after all but the current leadership is here to save the day", "friendship is magic, you loving trolls"). Intermittedly, unfair ground portions and tedious to okayish space battles break the monotony of people talking about themselves and cartoon ponies. It's not even Purity-series levels of bad, it's just dumb and doesn't want to end, which I understand is why it's used as some kind of chinese water torture to weed out weak-willed spies. The only good thing about is that it reveals someone in their leadership calling himself Futashy and apparently being totally okay with others knowing this. VVVVV I'm afraid all the ego-driven bleating is drowning out the hilarity. These people are all insufferable, even those we are supposed to like and agree with.

Acer Pilot posted:I'm pretty sure it's like 6 hours long. (Namely, the mission maker was a colossal pervert who ran the sane people... well, as sane as Bronies get... out of the fleet through petty childish politics and being unable to reign in their naked creepiness. It's practically stated outright but they're too spergy to even realize it.) EDIT: Also it's "founding of the UESP" or something like that, just search for UESP and look for goon reviews, it'll be obvious. There's one actual reason to give it a try even if you immediately bail; it uses the original ESD map. Not the one that got replaced this season, the extra lovely launch-era failure.

New patch notes are out for today, which include some fun stuff including:quote:Resolved an issue with Loadouts which would occasionally cause bridge officer powers, captain powers, and slotted duty officers to be removed when transitioning to another map. Thank GOD. Although it is laughable that I'm quote:A new Featured Project has been made available to Fleets that have already completed their Tier 5 Starbases. I'd still rather contribute to a vanity fleet but this is nice too! The patch notes thread is a great example of some of the worst the STO community has to offer, and a shining demonstration of why it seems like the devs troll the playerbase with disco balls. the Pixies fukken SUCKED fucked around with this message at 15:13 on Jun 5, 2014 |

I wasn't even aware that dilithium was a reward for foundry missions. How does that work? Does this mission just award dil when you turn it in? Is there a limit for it daily or what? Reason I ask is I ran a mission once that was supposed to reward it and it didn't.

There is a repeatable mission under your available mission list called "Investigate Officer Reports" which gives 960 dil for running a qualifying foundry mission. You also get 1440 bonus dil every 20 hours for running a "spotlight" mission.

g0del posted:What's the point of this change? It sounds like all they're doing is removing healing procs when you don't need them. Does it really make a difference if my shields are stuck at 90% when I FAW instead of 100%? The overhealing was being counted for scoreboards in Fleet Alerts meaning a Rom ship with the Valdore console had a pretty easy time getting first place rewards, especially on maps like CCE which scores healing done higher than others.
