***Resolved Issues***
"Login failed for unknown reason" error
Missing additional character slot for current/ lapsed Gold Members
Slow patching in the launcher
A bug that involved Romulan Liberated Borg captains and their skills once they chose an ally
one major request i have, that may also be helpful in many many ways, would be to have a genesis/creature creator. various body types and parts that can be placed, sized, colored, etc, allowing to create new and unique alien creatures for player (and maybe developer) created missions involving search and rescue, biology, exploration, and other missions.
Upcoming Foundry Feature Goals
The following features are high on the priority list for upcoming updates (most likely Q1 2011)
Mission Triggers (new)
Triggers are a way to make the game play react to the player’s actions
Show pop-up dialogs in response to a trigger
Spawn encounters in response to a trigger
Play music or sound effects in response to a trigger
Set a trigger on entering a volume
Set a trigger on killing an encounter
Set a trigger on interacting with an object
Set a trigger on talking with a contact
Branching dialogue (new)
Add multiple buttons to a prompt and chain prompts based on button chosen
Show/hide buttons based on mission state
Alter button behavior based on mission state
Timeline editor (new)
Change encounter behavior based on objectives in progress and triggers
Change contact dialog text in based on objectives in progress and triggers
DSTAHL - these are the most appealing and exciting considerations for upcoming features in the foundry. Branching Dialogues & Mission Triggers seem to be the most sought after requirement from the BETA and the most requested so I'm glad you guys have listened and have added them to the slate for the future.
All in all, I'm really impressed with the Foundry tool and I can see this is going to keep me busy playing and creating for years to come!
i havent looked at that part yet..so im not sure. if i wanted to.. could i create a 20 foot tall, 8 legged beast, with 5 eyes, a long scorpion like tail, tentacles at the mouth, and large menacing claws? i have a mission that requires a creature of that type of very alien design. ( seriously, thats the design i am looking for. no joke)
i need that "holy crap we dont belong here" kind of reaction. i may actually need a pack of 3 or 4 of them. part of the mission will have that Jurassic park-run-from-the-trex kind of feeling to it. so if the custom costume can do that, then i am set
i mean just like you can do with characters (people) i want a separate version for animals and other non-sentient life,
parts like bug features, arachnid, lobsters, mammals, etc
you can mix and match to an extent. determining if it is land, air, water, space, subterranean would determine the limitations. after-all, we probably dont want giant ducks with fish tails running around with monkey feet.
--so maybe i want a crab-like armor body, with a spider abdomen, 4 legs placed at the joint (or the slider could allow me to move 2 legs to the front of the beast and 2 in back of the beast). maybe i want tentacles out the belly and fly like eyes at the front rim of the shell. the top of the creature i color black, and the underside is yellow-white. maybe i want him to be 1 foot tall, or maybe i want him towering over me--
what can it do? sting? bite? grab? throw? pinch? fire projectiles? generate electricity? poison?
is it corporeal or non-corporeal?
that kind of stuff
i just think it could be a cool way to add easy variety to alien life, for missions or ambient life forms. parts can be added as time goes on, allowing for more and more
This is all very exciting stuff, I'm really looking forward to the changes in the Foundry.
By the way, is the Foundry offline for updates or was it's use on Tribble only a temporary test phase?

Oh.
Well that's SPORE stuff and, unfortunately, it's not supported in this game. It's not likely to ever be supported, honestly, as it requires some heavy duty technology just to make it work and even then, it doesn't work all that well.

yea its probably long term, which is why i put that idea on the back of my list. but i figure if i request it now, it might inspire someone and may at least get the talk started. who knows what the future can bring?

This topic is very important to me, and I think the entire PvP community. If you can't squeeze in more PvP maps and modes on your own, maybe at least we can try to create some.
Sounds good. I had no idea you could already do this: Combine objectives into a “Complete All” group of simultaneous mission objectives
I'll have to look for that feature.
One thing I don't see is a way to copy/paste stuff (like costumes)...is that on the roadmap anywhere?
