makes me want pepsi and cheetos.... the puffy ones. Still sounds fun

Congratulations to all. Please check your ingame mail for you prizes.

Hey, thanks everyone! I had a lot of fun writing this, in fact it has spurred me on to try my had at a few other literary endeavors (part of the reason I haven't been in-game very much lately... that and I'm waiting for Foundry and new FE's).

I'm glad everyone enjoyed my entry.

Thanks again. :laugh:

I hear ya, Doogie. It keeps telling me I need to add a "door", but nothing in the Foundry nor in the materials STO has released concerning Foundry calls anything a "door". The controls are very unintuitive and unclear. It wasn't designed for laymen.

I watched the video, and I just have one question:

When did two of the Spice Girls become boys?

Sounds like a ton of fun!

I need Foundry for Dummies

I am extremely excited and enthusiastic about the foundry, and learning to use it effectively. I Would firstly like to learn about everything we need to be able to do to be useful on the starbase construction team. Following that, I would like to learn things required to make a mission.

Here's a few things I'm having difficulty grasping:

constructing a way to enter the first zone of the mission (entry points at sol spacedock are not intuitive for me)

using markers to reach in order to zone

object interactions (either to zone or to progress the mission in some meaningful way)

wandering

dialogues (and dialogue choices)

constructing an interior from scratch (without using a premade map, if thats possible)

i would also like you to do a mission that we can follow along with you in creating, so that by the time we are done, we all publish a mission.

I'll be there, but no chance of me winning the data gathering, I'll be too busy dancing round my living room!

Coming shortly, to a Thursday Night GMT time slot near you...

Spark Productions, proudly presents...

CHEESY POP!

In an attempt to resurrect my quickly fading Uni days, I bring you… Cheesy Pop! This was an event in one of those wonderful student unions where they played the songs you love to hate or are far too ashamed to admit that you like, my iTunes is FULL of such songs.

The event itself is simple, it’s a scaled down data sample hunt. There are many people out there who wish to help the crafting corps for all the wonderful work that they do, but just don’t know how. This is the even for you then!
In Vent, I will be playing the types of songs I mentioned above, in the game you will get to go farm data samples while bopping your head along and enjoying the company of those that are also attending. It won’t be too long of an event, around an hour (as that’s really all anyone can take of cheesy pop music) and am sure will be lots of fun, or what we say in Scotland, it will be a laugh!

After this hour, you will come back to me, am thinking in Club 47 on ESD, hand over the data samples, hopefully with some rare ones as well, where if you want, we can hang about and dance to some more Cheesy Pop songs!

But, is there a reward for this, I hear you ask? Aside from the fact you are indulging in musical sin in a risk free environment, there will be perks for coming back with the most samples. The person in first place gets to make 3 requests on the next event! However, it will be from a given playlist, after all I can’t afford to download new songs every week, and those requests might not be Cheesy Pop material! Don’t worry though, the list currently stands at a massive 340 songs and will continue to grow. Look here for the link coming soon™.

So far, this event will happen every second Thursday at:
9pm GMT
4pm EST
1pm PST

If it proves popular, not clashing with other events and am allowed… it may happen more often.

So here is your chance to help the crafting corps, listen to some cheesy music and have some fun with some fleeties!

I leave you with this video, that best sums up the type of music there will be;

I look forward to seeing you all and remember, Cheesy Pop isn’t just an event, it’s a way of life!


P.S. OH! Remember and check the events page for when it starts up! Hopefully next week :D

Hey Nikku,

Thanks for the inquiry! If you use the /screenshot command, it'll save them high-res. You can upload them to the stonewall times folder on my iDisk.

Thanks!

Only 3 more weeks! (Yeah, I'm excited.)

You have a point, actually.

Cheers Brandon!

Also, where is it I can send screenshots for use in the Stonewall Times? I make no promises regarding their quality or utility, but I remember you guys were looking for some a while back.
