1. Hail Mary

to achieve this medal, you must have a planet on scan that has been scanned by at least 50 pilots ... none of whom can be in the same legion ;)

2. Sacked and Fumbled

to achieve this medal, you must flux a planet that has been scanned by at least 40 pilots.

let the flaming begin !!

We are aware of the current mechanics and know that certain planets could be used like that. Although badges can be gained that way, just be aware that additional restrictions may be added at a later time.


Doesn't look promising for this suggestion....

First one doesn't do anything for me, but I love the second idea.

+0/+1

It's a better suggestion than you would ever make.

As Darth Flagitious, giving medals for something the developer views as an exploit seems like a longshot intended more to garner an argument than a viable addition to the game. (Plus you're confusing metaphors. The reference is an allusion to this game, not this one.)

Actually, little man, her last suggestion was solid gold.

i think both football metaphors apply ... yes, there is kickball, but there are also lateral passes and fake kicks, etc. in gridiron. it's just that the gridiron metaphor had more in relation to the medal concepts ... a hail mary where you do not know who will get the ball ... but there are plenty of potential receivers. and the deflation works better as a QB sack ... hard to think of a kickball metaphor, unless you go with a red card ejection ... but who wants one of those medals ?

and no, #2 would not work very well unless #1 is also there. both of these are already happening, so we might as well see if there's a way to make it a challenge. it's not like anyone is running short of flux probe - tracers.

ideally, Dan would make the medal point reward for #2 to be nearly double the medal point reward for #1. so you use the elements of greed to potentially squelch the behaviour that Dan does not appreciate ... but still give folks an incentive to keep producing footballs in the faint hope of a return ;)

You do know that flux does not remove active alert right?
So here is what the ppl can do:
oh look, the planet reached 40 count! Let it sit 7 days, then Bob in legion B can alert it and Charles(current owner) in legion C will flux it for the medal. Then all of us in Legion B(except Bob) can give it a go to keep it running. Remember to tell Albert of Legion A and Dave of Legion D to alert it as well, so it can get passed around a full round before alert expires.
