I thought it was just the map I was using on my latest.

It is making it hard to test using preview. I seriously think Cryptic should consider allowing us to put our missions into a published but private state, maybe password protected or only people on our friends list can access.

That would allow testing by users who won't give negative rating on a beta mission and get around any differences there may be in future between a published mission live and one still being created on Foundry.

I know this would also create more work for the server so some thought could be put into applying an hourly limit per mission and prevent authors re-publishing every 15 minutes just to test a new small change.

What you think folks?

Publish but private?

Controlled by friends list to limit the number of players that can locate the mission.
