Re: "City of the Polmar Ree" - feedback needed!

July 08 2012
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.

I have recently updated the mission with overhauled maps, gameplay mechanics and some storyline additions. I also fixed some typos and the flow of the story/dialog.

I'm quite proud of the new "Terok Nor Docking Ring" map. It is a bit larger and I tried to make it more three-dimensional. There's also a Control Room and some obstacles added in the player's path.

"Celestial Temple" was overhauled to look more ominous and mysterious. "S.S. Ratosha Bridge" was mostly beautified, with some more consoles and a little Bajoran touch. "S.S. Ratosha Cargo Area" was updated with better gameplay mechanics and a little sidestory about pests in Cargo Bay 06. :)

Overall I tried to improve the mission flow by changing many contacts to triggers (with the nice effect that most dialogs can only be played once, giving some meaning to your dialog choices!).

I would still love to get some detailed feedback. And I'll be very thankful for any input, feedback or opinions about the mission. :kiss:

It really is a fun little game. You drive around in tanks, blowing stuff up.

Anyway, The game is holding a Model Tanks contest, which I entered. The Devs picked the top 13 entries as finalists. My entry is one of them.
And now its up to the players to vote for the top 5. It's quickly become apparent that the contestant with the most friends will win, regardless of the quality of their entry. The current leader, with 48 votes, is really pretty awful looking.

The finalists can be viewed here:

I am hesitant to do this; I'd prefer a fair compitition with all entries judged on their own merits, but its apparent that the fairness of the competition has been compromised. So, I'm asking any current or former WoT players to have a look and vote for whichever entry you think deserves it.

Thanks :)


I voted for you ^.^ You do good work, too! ^.^

What gets me about that contest is probably the same that gets you. Something like a popularity contest? The worst tank model up there seems to have the most votes, and an extremely decent model gets -31? (I voted for him, too, because he did a good job and no one deserves their work denigrated due to their popularity)... (I also downvoted that +82 vote tank because.. well it's not a very good job. I don't care if it did start out as scrap metal. Would have looked better if he hadn't tried to paint it. :p )

All good reasons QiqJoe! I am on Voss now with my Sage but haven't been there long enough to really get into anything yet. As I avoid pvp like the plague, :pinch: I will probably never see Ilum but I'm not curious enough to go see it anyway. I really hate being one-shot....repeatedly... :laugh:

My personal favorite is Voss. I love the scenery there: the constant autumn colors and trees. I also love the general story arc there. I love the fact that it's a completely different culture and exploring the gray force culture of the Mystics. (I'm also reading The Dawn of the Jedi comic books right now that explore the original Je'daii, which I find very fascinating and add to why I like Voss more.) My Consular's storyline was a little bit of a sidetrack there, but the archetype of the Consular fit well with the whole planet. My Inquisitor's storyline was awesome there!

I loved finding out more about the Jedi on Tython. Korriban and Dromund Kaas were wonderful for finding out more about the Sith, especially the tombs and temples. Alderaan was visually stunning; I just wish it explored the house politics/history a little more. Ilum was really cool because of the unknown-to-me factor and how it fit in with the Republic and Sith. And one of my other favorite planets (a lot of you will think I'm nuts)...Tatooine. I thought it was a beautifully done desert planet that captured what was shown in the movies very well; the story arc wasn't bad either. And hey, it has a friggin' balloon ride!

Re: Plural address for all stonewall fleets?

We generally just refer to them as "Stonewall Fleets", or individually by their abbreviations, SWF, DSS, HNR.

Plural address for all stonewall fleets?

July 05 2012
If there is a plural way we address all the fleets (Nagh reD, stonewall, deep space stonewall. and any future branch fleets) then disregard this


if not, then lets brainstorm, ive already got one in my head, but other examples of names we can use to address all the fleets together are welcome ! :)

maybe something along the lines of: The Stonewall Alliance. ?

I think I like Alderaan best so far for all the trees and "natural" terrain. :) There's a lot of variance but I like the forests and lack of industrialization. Drummond Kaas is a lot like Alderaan but I really dislike places like Narr Shadaa :dry: because I hate cities in general and that whole planet is one big city (unless there are places that was can't access that aren't so industrial but we'll never know that :P )

My main is a Sage. It was only on Corellia that I felt the epic-ness of the class quest story line. The other arcs were fun and interesting, but didn't have the same gravitas or Star Wars feel to them.

Taris comes in second if only for that one quest where they play the KotOR theme. Ah, nostalgia :lol:

Re: Any fleet RP still happening?

If we're going to do this, we'll need to decide on a premise. We can have our ship captains attend some sort of conference, or to hew a little closer to the standard Trek format, we could all select ranks and positions on the bridge crew of a shared starship. I'm partial to the latter scenario, because it's a lot less formal and it gives us an instant excuse to do pick-up sessions whenever we want.

We also might want to consider designating a GM who can pose external events and answer questions like "what do I see if I scan for life forms?" I don't think it would turn into enough of a task to prevent also participating as a character, but I would be hesitant to take the reins myself, because I'm not as fluent in the lore as many here.
