Is everyone in the cove this poor of sports? So everyone has to play by your rules or you'll throw a fit and do everything you can to start a war? You're right that reds and blues aren't equal. Blues are far more valuable. They are EASY to get because you just blow 5 energy and have a few key items equipped. The reward is a badge that can be used to purchase 3 different and useful items PLUS a chunk of research. In return, someone disables you so you've effectively lost a few credits and... uhh... nothing. That person gets a badge that goes toward a gun that is nice (at lower levels) but isn't the end all be all of the game. And the cost to get that red badge is much higher since you typically need to have more expensive gear equiped, you're going to burn through anywhere from 10 to who-knows-how-much-energy to get it, and you're going to have to pay to repair your own ship.

I'm working on blues and reds right now. When I have someone hit me back once for either type, I don't go running off crying, I just shrug, hit the repair button (if it was a red), and keep playing. When I have idiots like this level 370+ that's farming me because I hit his multi, then I'll complain.

And I have no intention of going after any Cove (or most other alliance) planets, but you do realize that the way you're acting is what gets people mad enough to start taking planets as payback, right?

Am I the only one who got their dominions ages ago and don't give a damn about red badges?

The quad-frame is pretty crap too. Oh wow! 25 cloak and scan! PARRRRRRRRTTYYY!!!!!!! The dominions were great when I got them. They are still pretty impressive - but I can manage without them.

The quads are nice at low level but not amazing. The fact you can get a planet structure or an option to take people's guns offline is something else.

Aye. I get the bypasses and I have got the nexus once for my mega colossal.

A badge for a badge is fine. I just get annoyed with the people that alert you on the first offense and then claim that you were harassing them to the rest of their legion. Way too many crybabies playing this game... If I'm out badge hunting I expect to be disabled the next time I log in. I don't complain on comms or the forum. It's a GAME! Get over it people. As for leaving "badge" on someones comm... yeah, right... waste of energy. Hopefully they are smart enough to figure that part out without assistance.

Yeah, I've told people before that they don't need to bother putting that, it's pretty obvious.

you would certainly hope so, but in my experience there are still some level 200 noobs playing
