Steel Hearts - Federation Secrets

I played through the mission today, and I enjoyed it! Feels like a bit of a cliff-hanger and I was craving more of the story when it ended. What made it interesting, was the deeper relationship options that you can pursue through the chat dialogue. I was hoping for an opportunity to see how the relationship that I chose to pursue, developed but the story ended right when I wanted more :D

Given that the mission isn't too long right now, you always have the option of adding more of the story onto the end of the mission, rather than making a sequel, if that's what you had planned. Could work well either way, I suppose!

The story flow, spelling and grammar was good throughout the mission. I noticed a few small technical oversights that could use a clean-up:



As for why the mission isn't awarding rewards, I'm not entirely sure. It feels as though there's enough map transitions and combat to justify the normal foundry rewards. From what I understand, the system has an algorithm that calculates what it believes to be the play-time of every mission, and only awards rewards to those that have 20 minutes+ of play time. It was at least that long for me, since I was running the mission on elite difficulty, but maybe an extra map transition and something to do on that map might put it over the edge. You may need to play around with it a bit.

Was fun! Good luck - interested in seeing more!

36 minutes... omg... erm, I mean: there´s an easy explanation for that: we enjoyed this place so much (scary, halloween-feeling and all that, you know?) that we just didn´t want to leave! xD

Thanks again for organizing and hosting this event! I´m looking forward to next halloween!

Andrea :)

Author: Avyntrahelion
Faction: Federation
Level Requirement: 41+
Author Notes: *Testing Phase*

Hello ladies and gents.

I have decided to start working on this foundry project again, and I think it is mostly done. I would just like some others to give it a scour and honestly tell me if they like it, love it, or feel I should be publicly humiliated for it.

Also, if there are any more experienced foundry people, what could I do to get it to qualify for rewards - I understand thanks to RainbowWarGames that I may need to make it longer. Does this have to do with how long it actually takes, the number of maps, etc.? If it's length, I want to add more combat - It's already pretty sparse and avoidable since its in the middle of a battle.

Also,


Any advice would be welcome!

And a big thanks to Mr Frozenlilly and Rainbowwargames for giving it a run and their feedback so far.

I am the Standard Phasers type of guy. Using Fleet Elites with DMGx2 and ACC. I started upgrading Consoles first, probably a bad idea.

Nick if you like blue go biomatter phasers the tetryon proc is really not worth it at all and biomatter phasers are pretty nice and still fairly cheap.

As for modifiers as a rule of thumb [acc]x2 is what people want unless you have lots of traits and abilities that increase your accuracy, remember you only do damage when you hit something.

I agree with the fact of using one energy type on a ship to minimize weapon drain and i stand by that rule, but if you like a certain type of energy whether it be tetryon, polaron or even if its tribble, use what you like and make adjustments if needed.

But personally i had wondered about the pierecing tetryon as well but never tested it. I would like to hear if it worth it due to its procs as well.

I hear that too, so I'm going for Acc or CtH nowadays rather than CtD or Dmg

I love the sounds of those phasers though (both ground and space!) pew pew!

I use tets on my klinky orion, after reading this i think it's time he got something greener...

looking at your table, time to move to either of the phased tets (preferred) or the refracting tets.


There's also Piercing Tetryon which I left off the table cause it doesn't come in a Beam Array, but it's secondary proc is a 2.5% chance to ignore 50% of an an enemies shields which sounds pretty nice to me.

I liked the tetryon beams too, they are better than disruptors at least.

I would love to know if this is something valid, I'm currently using tetryon beams on my aft and anti-protons on the fore, but if there is a better type of beam to use, I'm interested.


i love multicolour rainbows :) but word on the galactic street is to use one weapon type as this helps u use just one tac console enhancer plus maintains weapon power drain too

So I'm almost Level 15 in Beams so I'm doing a bit more research to decide what I want to use on my cruiser.

Damage TypeProc 1Proc 2
Retrofit Phaser2.5% Chance: Disable 1 SubsystemN/A
Tetryon2.5% Chance: -X to all ShieldsN/A
Destabilizing Tetryon2.5% Chance: -X shield drain per sec for 15 secN/A
Polarized Tetryon10% Chance: -X to all ShieldsN/A
Phased Tetryon2.5% Chance: -X to all Shields2.5% Chance: Disable 1 Subsystem
Refracting Tetryon2.5% Chance: -X to all Shields2.5% Chance:X Tetryon Damage to the next nearest enemy target


The Phased Tetryon have the combined procs of Phaser and Tetryon so that might be good. I don't care for the Refecting Tetryon's secondary proc of damage to the next enemy cause that just looks like tons of agro. Polarized Tetryon kinda looks the nicest of all with a proc 4 times as often, but it's the bad proc everyone warns me about. Which do you all think would be the best?

The only thing I'm worried about is the weapon attributes. My current weapons are [Dmg]x3. Some of the above versions will be difficult to get the same attributes meaning I'll actually be decreasing my DPS. Do you think [Dmg]x3 is worth keeping? I've heard some people prefer [Acc]x3.

Thanks for you input!
