"City of the Polmar Ree" - feedback needed!

November 05 2011
Hey folks.

I've published my new Foundry mission, "City of the Polmar Ree" :woohoo:

Does anybody have time to play it and give some brutally honest feedback?

Note: The mission will only be available this weekend while I gather some feedback, and then it'll be withdrawn while I'm in Canada; I'll republish it in 10 days when I get back.



Mission title: City of the Polmar Ree
Author: @alimac30
Project ID: ST-HJGVZQCX
Faction: FED
Minimum rank required to play: Any rank

Synopsis:
Once every 216 years, every sentient species in the galaxy is invited to the extra-galactic space city of the ancient Polmar Ree. It's been 216 years and the time of the Polmar Ree has come again. Most will go in peace... but in the shadows of an enemy faction, warriors plan a catastrophic attack. Wormholes are opening in every quadrant, starships are gathering, and your invitation has arrived...

Notes:
  • Takes 60 - 90 minutes
  • Roleplay oriented
  • Mixture of story, investigating, and some shooting
  • Four months in the making
  • Every map is a 100% custom build
  • Look out for special guest star Hawk a.k.a Sarge a.k.a @4ID in this mission! He bid 25 MILLION energy credits at the Stonewall Pride Auction to feature in the mission, so I hope he likes it! All proceeds went to the Fleet bank to help fund our future Fleet Starbase. Thank you Hawk!

Alimac, I remember having the same problem after playing Ramok Nor, I just don't know what to say. I loved it.

Loved the story, loved the environments and I'd recommend it to anybody.

I'm going to put the rest of it in spoiler tags just so I don't ruin anything. Don't read them if you haven't played it yet.



Absolutely loved it. Thank you!

First thoughts: WOW! LOVE IT!

This mission is awesome. Such a grand scale, with so much Star Trek stuff, a bit of Stonewall mixed in, a great plot, some twists and turns, and, yes, an awful lot of running. And even some punch-the-air scenes. Everything you want from STO and from Trek in general.

Try it!

Major spoilers below, so no peeking if you haven't already played it.



Thanks, Alimac! Very entertaining!

I just finished this mission a couple minutes ago and HOLY CRAP! THAT WAS FANTASTIC! Far and away the best Foundry mission I've played (though to be fair, I haven't played a lot). That was a true 'Star Trek' mission. It had diplomacy, discovery, intrigue, and a bit of action. I also loved the concept of the City of the Polmar Ree. I actually went to check the Memory Alpha wiki to learn more about it because I was sure you got it from a Star Trek episode. Imagine my surprise when I found this was something of your own creation! Fantastic!

I only have one critique, and I'll leave it in the spoiler section below.



By the way, I am going to need to ask you how you did all that cool event scripting. The parts in the USS Kelso were just so cool!

Hey Chemkarate,

Thank you for the awesome comments! I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much.

I'm on vacation at the moment, but when I return home next week I'll be fixing the issue you mentioned in the spoiler tag. The respawn point was actually in that location to make my own testing easier, and I forgot to move it back to where it should have been before I published - so my bad!

Thanks for spotting it, and thanks again for the great feedback.

Ali

P.S. Love the 11th Doctor outfit in your avatar :P

So, hope this isn't weird, but I just joined this fleet and was trawling around the boards and saw this thread. "City of the Polmar Ree" is one of my favorite foundry missions ever, and I said to myself "The guy who wrote it is in Stonewall?" And then I fist-pumped vigorously. Will you be my foundry sensei? That is all.
