With the latest Engineering report in our hands, we’ll be delving into some our favorite highlights of features coming in the near (or not-so-near) future. Then, after another round of Tweet Leaks, we’ll delve into a Foundry Mission that was honored with a mention during the Engineering Report.

“Rise of Darkness” was played live before our Internet audience on Saturday, and we’ll share many of our thoughts on what the mission did well, or did not execute properly. This is the first of many Foundry missions that we plan to review, so listen close for details on how you can be involved with future reviews!

And speaking of involving YOU… we’re also going to share some of your favorite TOS moments that we received recommendations for including in a Foundry mission.
