In my own opinion .. this is not a very good reward
Size 1 Res 2 cloak 100 def +10%
HAVE to be Hacker physicist or spy to deploy.

My supporting argument
I am sure you can run a report and I would tend to think that those 3 professions are RARELY used (with the exception MAYBE of hacker for the medal) I would think when medals came out a bunch of GP was spent to switch to hacker to get the medal and related achievement. This reward I do not think will spur that same desire to drop 20 gp and switch classes. So basically I foresee almost no one going for that second task in the T.O legion mission. ( I did it because I needed the hacker medal ANYWAY and I didn't know before I switched what the reward was) I would say change up the reward no one wants or needs any more research planet mods anyway.. Make it a ship mod that benefits those classes or something

Size 20 - Hack +2% Cloak +250 Shield +300 Limit 3 per ship (bonuses double while member of said professions similar to the litheoria)
Activated Ability (choice) 1 hour Duration 20 hour cool down
+2% NPC Scan (chance to find Uncommon/Rare/Extremely rare npcs)
+10 Shield Regen
+100% reward from successful hacks
If Phys/Spy/Hacker when ability activated activated ability is given a 100% bonus
Each activated ability can only be active once. but all three can be active at same time (since your ship can have 3)

This would be a cool reward worth of dropping gps to switch to a relatively undesirable profession.

I agree I was like... yuck

Completion of the mission isn't pointless as it probably was required for overall success of the mission. It also seems there are going to be rewards that focus on many differrnt professions

Right but this particular reward.. is not very good .. which is my point

Not all rewards are good, nor are they meant to be. I like the module as it is. 10% defense is lovely.

10% defense.. is nice.. but requiring you to be one of those 3 professions which will require a majority of the people playing the game to drop gp to switch races just to complete this task. I guess the other way to stop my griping is take away the profession requirement then the reward becomes at least reasonable. Again my snipe is not against the arti (though I still don't think its great) it's against the game mechanic of being undesirable professions to get an underpowered reward. And I was suggesting a path that would encourage people to drop GP to switch to one of these professions to get this particular reward and give some incentive to stay these professions (maybe the profession doesn't have great reasons to be the class but if you make enough profession specific bonuses .. might make sense to stick it out)

You don't have to do the mission. Nobody's making you spend GP.

Holy Cow.. That's why its in the "Suggestions" forum I am suggesting that as a means for the Devs to get regular users to part with their GP they would have to offer a better reward then what is offered to switch to an undesirable profession..

Do you see at all how anything you wrote has no constructive quality whatsoever?

Here's another change option:
Size 1 Res 2 cloak 100
IF Hacker, Physicist, or Spy when deployed adds 10% def.

Get rid of that red and I am fine with it.
If you are not that profession you shouldn't get the bonus. I don't like it when I feel like I have to switch to something just to get a bonus and then I have to pay to switch back to the better races and professions. It won't help keep people in those professions it just means who has more GP still gets farther ahead of those that don't.

I rather pass on 4 relic badges than do this mission.

I mean there are always going to be rewards you do and don't like and I do realise that this is a pretty bad reward for the cost but it may be slightly too soon to start changing things around just yet.
