I always assumed you got the badge for the effort and not for the success/fail of the mission.

only if it's succesfull (succes but not finding is still succes, that's why if you find nothing and get the red message you get a badge) but he failed

QFTs don't trip if you fail. :roll:

Just a bit of a nit-pick here, perhaps, but the message doesn't say they failed, it says they were unsuccessful. So they successfully entered the system, but the system's defenses thwarted (blocked) their effort. If they failed they would not have gotten into the system to begin with.

Could be something new that was added. The only message I've seen was the one indicated here, hack successful but you find nothing. And while it still gave a blue badge it didn't add to the hack count. I agree though, that if the hack really were a failure that no badge should be given.

Not relevant,
hack unsuccesful = failed
hack succesful but nothing to steal = badge
hack succesful and research or planet = badge + reward

there's no 50% succes

because in my other thread, I already stated (too bad didn't screenshot it) that my failed hack DID trip QFT. I won't post there if I'm not sure.

You don't think that only getting the badge but no reward is a 50% successs?

I don't.

success only means if you manage to hack the system, if the system doesn't have anything worth stealing, it's still a successful hack, and it's either successful or fail

Hmmm...never thought of it that way. That's some solid logic.

you get a yellow badge for raiding no min/arti points...
your crew successfully made it on board, got to the cargo bay and found that they just robbed someone who had been at a docking port and sold everything.. and then they made it out successfully.

you can fail a raid when they have nothing and lose a crew member.. should we stop that from happening as well?
