Who cares.. foundry missions are not part of the game until they offer rewards comparable to in-game missions.

As it stands they are time wasters at best.

I don't think that will ever happen for all foundry missions. Perhaps they could do it for spotlight missions though.

I believe it's average playtime of everyone who completes the mission. That tech has always been there.

Just for everyone's reference:

- Season 4 had 5 weeks of downtime.
- Season 6 had 3 weeks of anticipated downtime plus another couple when a problem was found.

- So far we're at 4 days, counting today.

Probably they will simple play it, and value if it's worth dilithium or not.
Sorry for any mistakes, english isn't my primary language.

I would just like to point out that the entire reason the foundry is still offline is the horrible testing they do before pushing their updates live. Now, before some pleeb says it, of course it is impossible to catch every bug. But that isnt even what I'm talking about.

What I'm talking about is the fact that the foundry update was one of the very last patches to hit tribble before S7 went live, meaning it got very little testing time. Furthermore, there were hardly any foundry missions on tribble to test. They should have copied every single spotlight mission, as well as several dozen random other missions from holodeck to tribble for testing purposes.

And what makes it worse is this is exactly what happened with season 6. They always wait until the last minute to put any foundry changes on tribble, meaning they dont get properly tested before the season launches, which is entirely their own fault. And then they dont even learn from their own previous mistakes.

So again: no, of course it is not possible to catch every bug. However it is possible to test things the right way, and waiting until the last minute is not the right way.
