And how about a customizable rank insignia for that TWOK uniform, eh? It's been stuck on captain since the beginning. WE DEMAND MORE RANKS.

So that's how they are going to replace the new/old station
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

Wait, is this going on NOW? Or is this intended for the patch?

This is a copy of a forums thread of a series of missions my fleet and i planned. It will tell fleet back story as well as recruit subliminally maybe lol.

Needs of the few, and the undine missions sound great, I am promoting the fleet i co-lead, through foundry also, it's "Imperium", it was always Terran Empire based, but i am fleshing our back story out more, it goes something like this-


Series arc "Imperium" Episode 1- "Those that fight CAN"-

Players are sent on a mission by Franklin drake of section 31 to hunt down the U.s.s. Daystar (my original ship name my main is George Kane aka GK(that is currently how my name reads),he claims the Daystar is a infiltrator from the Terran Empire, And that the "real" George Kane and his crew have recently returned from The Mirror universe after being trapped over there for a year, after be3ing lured by a false distress signal to arrange a trap/switch" of crew/ships. After the first skirmish battling the Daystar (celestial class retrofit cruiser),
The Daystar hails the players and informs them section 31 lies- it's the other way around-that the Crew who "returned" were from the Terran Empire because section 31 has been slowly arranging these "trap/switches" by sending select ships that have a mirror ready match to a spatial rift checkpoint, and slowly over a year bringing ship after ship to replace (giving the Terrans info and helping arranging convincing replacement)to fill in a Fleet comprised of Terran Imperial commanders who are working with section 31, because they are very good at fighting Klingons- we have been their allies for so long, that we are not as used to constantly fighting them as the Imperials are. (currently my crew and ship is U.S.S. Nephalim, Mirror GK and crew, terran empire ENT black uniforms.Just a name and bio/uniform switch)

By the end of episode 1 there is proof given by Kane- A holographic (will be seen in mission) series of meetings with Drake, Commanders in the Terran Empire, and other starfleet command flag officers who agree this is a necessary evil, as they must admit the Terrans have proven capable of overthrowing a Klingon occupation.

Players can choose whether to take the proof and report to either 1. Admiral Quinn 2. Admiral Chakotay (starfleet intelligence C.O. according to the path to 2409) or confront Drake. 2 choices are meant to lead to one mission follow up, 1 choice will lead to another. (but as someone said earlier by disclaiming in the descripts this mission is follow up to choice 1,2,3 of "this mission" etc.

Mission 2(not revealing based off which choice)-"Those that Can't DIE"-

Will the player be hunted down by the Imperium and section 31, painted by false evidence as enemies of the UFP, or will they help take down or turn in The Uss Daystar and her crew and help keep the conspiracy alive? one choice makes the difference...

Mission 3 "Those Who Live may die another day"-

What will happen if the existence of Imperium is revealed openly to starfleet? What was the origin of the "Imperial class" Assault cruiser? Did section 31 exchange technology blueprints as part of a deal?

Anyhow, you get the idea.

I think its a photoshop :P

Also Josh, to answer your question, they will be destroying the new station midway between season 3 and season 4, and from what Dan wants, he wants it to be the Klingons.

It's a Klingon fleet action, the destroy ESD stahl already discussed it. It also is repeatable.

I can now state confidently that the image was created during the Foundry closed Beta. Not by me, but one of my fleet-mates.

That was my second guess.

I made a mission in the foundry on tribble and published it (after the foundry was disabled technically, for some reason it didn't boot me out)

Search for "Objects in the mirrors" author will be Tuskin.

2 issues though.

1. I forgot to move my spawn point away from my testing position in the space map so you spawn right in range of the 3 enemy groups, so be prepared. I manages to do it only blowing up once. Tip:  Take out the Battleship first
2. If the beginning instructions are not clear enough, you have to go talk to an Admiral on DS9 (hes on the upper level of the promenade and will be circled) then go to the Travis System/Empok Nor

 I agree; very good mission. I've published mine, "Missing Ships", but it doesn't seem to be up yet...

If anyone tries it, be warned, it's a test in Non-Combat missioning. I've found that the Foundry only lets you use sector space once per mission...  :(

EDIT: Mission "Missing Ships" now up! Bear in mind it's just a test.

Both design are equally scary.
"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."

Looks like a Ferengi Marauder crashed into a fed design...  :facepalm:

Honestly, I think that's possibly pushing artistic license too far, but that's just me.
