Ok, so for the many people who love to pvp and who obviously hate hitting halcs i have a couple of suggestions. There are multiple examples of different medals for raids, hacks, kills, invasions, etc. There are also abilities and purchasable modules based on badge expediture. Allies develop from doing basic game concepts and unlocked abilities are acquired from time tempered efforts to excel in a given area. Why not provide new options along the lines of traps? Let's say for a debatable level of halcs tripped (say 5k, 8k, etc?) you could earn a medal. Something like "peace, whats that?", or some other cliche or pithy catch phrase. But one more medal, while another signet of prestige just doesn't do it for everyone. so....having set the table, let's say the medal unlocks an ability----'halc breaker' (again call it what you like). Usable with the average plain jane cooldown of 40 hours. Ability could do something like: * Ignore halc traps for 10 minutes * Allow user to disable halc trap on one ship * Decrease halc protection etc. My preference would be ability for limited time span to ignore halcs. So you could 'hold' your reign of death for that right person, and blammo!!! or Kaboom as one of my esteemed friends would say. By limiting the time frame to do this, maybe adding a badge and/or e cost and the time between uses, i don't believe this would be op. I do think it would be fun and add one more sneaky aspect for players. Also by making the halcs tripped number sufficiently high, this would avoid (for some part) the overdevelopment for level ranks to have/use it. I'm sure some people may poo-poo this, as unnecessary or silly...but hey it's a twist on what we got? I say why not? |

Yet another "I hate halcyons" suggestion... What we need is an incentive for people to not be able to use them. Stay tuned, I'm working on that and people are REALLY going to go crazy when they see what I have in mind. |

Leave halc's alone. part of the game, you think they are bad now, try back in the day when their was no "nonagressive action" deal on them, you could halc all day. |

I'm not actually a 'halc-hater.' I'm trying to add flavor to the game. Who is more the hater, the guy who says let people work hard for a goal and get a nominal but cool occassional benefit from it, or the guy who wants to get rid of them altogether? |

Metal reasonable sure its annoying, ability to negate it not so much. (unless you want an additional metal to balance it out, like scarey cat, 10 points, put on 500 halc's ability auto halc, you will automatically reapply a halc trap if you have them in your cargo and have not done a hostile action in 24 hours) |

Then we wouldn't be able to disable players two hours after tripping their halcs. |

eh the supply of halc's will dry up over time, a slow steady constant drain will make sure most people will not be halced forever (although very long times may be possable) |

Shade, Even the medal would be something. Kind of telling on your efforts. Regarding comment that people would/could halc twelve times a day. Hey more power to ya, if you have no life and can be on THAT much, kudos! I like to pvp at night (my time zone) and hope that helps others for halcs I trip overnite (day zone for others)! |

I like the idea of having a medal or 2 related to halcs, don't care either way on the abilities. There's always going to be people who cry about pvp, no matter what is n place. |

And I like the 50k energy cost for the double halc time ability. And what are the points for? |

They're their to make you feel like you accomplished some thing special for doing some thing every one dose and that you would have done any ways.
