Default New Mission - "Lest We Forget"

A new StarTpoia mission, "Lest We Forget", is now available here.

This is my first mission, so I am looking for feedback. Too hard, too easy, boring, crashes, etc. I will just say that it is not as straightforward as it may seem at first.

In about a week I will send it to StarPost, after making any necessary updates, and about a week after that I will remove it from the site above.

Hope you enjoy it.

Very well done! My only gripe is that the story is too invisible. Perhaps you should use Say commands instead of Status Messages. Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to the next one.

OK, you've now been officially talent-spotted by the Yetucyun Guild. If you want to help out, let us know.

Thanks for the feedback

"Perhaps you should use Say commands instead of Status Messages."
I used Status Messages because I wanted the text to appear at the right time; using say, you have to wait for the user to click on the box, which could be some time after the event. It was a close call.

I have got a second in the pipeline (and again I use Status Messages), but I make no promises about when it would be available.

Hey! You've just been talent-spotted! At least say yes or no.

Sorry I'm still thinking between a qualified yes and an out right no. Are you not worried there will be more people writing it than playing it?

There are loads of fans, only a small proportion of which mod. You'd be our fourth development team member, which would fill the buddies list nicely. And I'm itching to tell as many people about how good the Guild is as possible - only hitch is, development team only!

Of course, its up to you. There's that second mission on the way, and you may prefer working alone to working in a team. Your decision, but I know what I'd choose...

I'd love to be able to join the guild and mod things but I don't know how. Well, I do, barely, but am too lazy to do more than add crates.
