[QUOTE="Kzach, post: 5541965, member: 56189"] This would be great if not for the fact that one has to pay for the privilege of making content for the developers. It's like saying, "Here, have my money and I'll do all the work for you as well!" It's a sweet gig for Cryptic but pretty lame for players. I say this having four max-level characters (three on Federation, one on Klingon) and having been in a really good guild with great people. Eventually, that's just not enough and the sheer lack of content in the game reduces the experience to a boring daily grind and the odd group PVP or PVE mission. But the worst thing about the game is that it's a sci-fi shoot 'em up with Star Trek paraphernalia tacked on as an afterthought rather than a Star Trek game with some combat in it. If I wanted to commit genocide on a daily basis (and believe me, with the amount of ship and ground mobs you kill just doing dailies, you are wiping out entire species pretty fast), I wouldn't be playing Star Trek in the first place. I was excited when the Foundry was announced until I suddenly realised that I'd be paying the developers and doing their work for them. If the game was rife with content already and wasn't just a lame space grind, then the Foundry would be a boon, but without that richness and diversity of content, it's more like a boondoggle.
