I just had a weird dream about badges for pacifism in Galaxy Legion called pink badges. So I remember one of them and I've added a few extra ideas.

You gain pink badges for periods of peacefull activity and non-combatative behaviour. For each day that you do not get attacked at all (with or without the use of Halcyons etc you gain one pink badge. Additionally for each day that you not do a hostile act to any player (including invading a non-guarded planet and guarding any planet) you gain a pink badge.

Badge rewards could be something like:

A one shot device that creates a halcyon field which protects you the moment you activate it and lasts around 8 hours. You vanish from the battle tabs of other players.

A one shot device which creates a halcyon field around a planet for eight hours preventing it from being attacked. It still appears on peoples scans but will be impossible to attack.

A ship module which has a small percentage chance each time the ship is hit of removing and adverse effects including traps that the ship is suffering.

there are lots and lots of ideas i can think of for this and i'm sure you guys can think of equally useful ones too.

I'm on the fence about this. You need more examples, as well as price tags for the stuff listed.

that would be up to webguydan to come up with a price list for those items... i've provided a base example of pink badge items of around the same number or modules and artifacts for many other badged items

Point taken, but alot of players will -1 this simply because 70% of this game is offensive actions.

To put it simply, to get these badges, you'd have to exclusively mission for days, and even then random attacks/planet defences would mess this up. In my opinion, it just wouldn't work, because it's reducing the game to a "friendly" environment, just like the Z-word does.

HOWEVER, it has given me another idea: Mission badges! every mission completion (using the round<completion<finish system) grants a pink badge, which can be used to buy ship modules/consumables which help with missions, such as extra neurals which only apply to mission exp, energy cost reductions, that sort of thing.

Now THAT can be worked with. +1.

I'm with you on mission badges , but this one would need to back pay for missions done if it comes out.

You have dreams about GL? Odd...

yes i'm afraid so, my only one but it was definitely about GL...

Well, personally I quite like the idea.

The whole point of something like GL is there is no wrong way to play it, everyones style is different.

If people want to make it in to a farming game, thats up to them. No reason they shouldn't be rewarded for playing.

After all, what would you rather have, a loyal, active legion member who is happily farming his planets and doing missions and is protected by his "pink badges" or an inactive player who just finds the game overly aggressive?

My only reservation would be to say that you can only earn the pink badges when you actually log on....

agreed captain opinion.

in regards to why you like the idea it reminds me of a conversation i had with the othe rleader of my legion. he wanted to reward members who were of a status of balanced and higher and i had to remind him not all the "best" players of this game are combatative - some like to farm planets etc. I see myself as a mission player rather than a pvper and would welcome the odd period of relative peace from even badging and bumping from a battle tab.
