Red badges are really hard to get at high ranks almost all ships are equiped with traps at this rate it would take me months to complete my set.

I do however have 2 mk 3 but i had to use up all the null fuses that i had in cargo bay.

no I check for people who dont have traps and disable them when i find them. This really is something for us to do. it would be great if we can get some refund on the dom cannon if they get scrapped.

I +1 this idea. !!!

3 or 4, or 10%.... sorry but i have to say - absurd

25% = 10 reds, is absolutely doable
50% = 20 reds, is justified by the lack of notification to all players of GL .

But 100% is moraly correct..

+1 Fer This Nicely posted Post Blitz

I personally love this idea +1
How about 75%= 30 Red badges

I have two dominion cannons, and with the release of these new ones, I feel like I've wasted 80 badges. Just as standard modules can be scrapped for 50% of their credit price, dominions should be scrappable for 20 red badges each.

yeah its soooo hard to get red badges at high levels yet you all have 4 dom cannons ? wait that sounds more like you guys are greedy and lazy ! obsolete ?!? no one is forcing you to get them , the ones you have work just fine and will continue to work UNTIL you can get the better ones . And finally why should you get any red badges back ?

first off, it sounds like you are under rank 150. that being said, while some players are trapped up at your rank, most are not. kills are extremely EXTREMELY extremely easy to come by at that rank. i got my first 200 kills in 30 ranks after rank 100. anyway, by the time you get to ranks 300+ it becomes rather difficult to get kills. i barely get 2-3 a day. plus, badges were not retroactive. if they were id have close to 400 extra reds i could spend, and i wouldnt be asking for a return rate. however, they were not retroactive, and because of that, players who ranked past the normal 'pvp' levels got shafted with the badges. i recall a conversation the day before the mk2s and 3s were released where a rank 400+ stated in the legion comm 'Finally, i just got my 4th dominion cannon'. for him that was a major investment, and then when the mk3s were released, im sure he felt cheated that he spent 160 badges purchasing the lowest end tech in the market.

Personally, i think dan should have released all three tiers initially, or made badges retroactive. Because he did neither of these things, many players who found amassing 160 red badges extremely difficult, will find amassing 512 red badges literally impossible. This would not be a permanent thing, but a special event, perhaps a 'Space Trader' who you can sell dominion cannons to for badges. I personally feel a 100% return rate is the right thing to do, but any return rate is better than nothing.

so the guy who has 4 dom cannons now has all the extra firepower to get more red badges is how i see it . Also i'm level 413 . I think people should look at it as something to work towards not a chance to get free badges !

i wonder how many people will ever get the Mk3 Dominions now that the red badges are needed for base scans

i scrapped all 4 mk1's already lol

not scrapping my 2x Mk1's until i get my 3rd Mk3... and i haven't even gotten my 1st Mk3 yet..... got up to 17 badges, only to spend them all on scans...

people who gain kills should gain a reward to enhance their killing ability. it makes no sense to give an aggressive pvper a defensive module, or even a hacking or raiding module. im not so much upset about the fact that i wasted 160 badges on the first tier of guns. im more upset that im not being rewarded for my first 300 kills. A badge refund would at least ease that fact a little. now it seems as if ive wasted an additional 160 badges, making over half my kills useless...

truthfully im rather surprised a 413 is not for this proposition. unless you already have all 4 mk3s, i would think that you would be in favor of recycling your badges, especially given your increasingly difficult situation. while i am working towards my final 2 cannons, it will be at least 2 months before i get them. i cant imagine how long it would take a passive pvper to get all 4...

maybe they should get a reward for number of kills - like extra red badges or artifacts or something , but i dont agree that dan must give red badges back when scrapping your dom cannons . Thats the way I see it . If you start a thread about number of kill rewards then I would prob agree with you on that one .

In that case I'd be loaded with red badges :

Player Kills 1291

Those kills started at the beginning of the game almost.
There is noway that Dan could give me that many red badges lol so that's why I'm only asking for a small refund from the Mk I Cannons that I bought.

I dont like the idea, not one bit it only benefits, the larger ranked players... and if you notice it is the higher ranks who are for it

Jim,
I'm not a higher ranked player, and I'm for it. Getting those 4 Mk I's took a long time, and I installed the 4th one just days before the new grades were released. I could have been most the way to a Mk III by now.

Im angry that my new handbag isn't in fashion any more.
I should totally get a refund even though i cut the tag off ;p

can that kind of BS stop being posted in this thread, it isnt needed or wanted here.... and that analogy doesn't fit anyway.

+1 To this idea, and hoepfully dan see's this soon and makes some change before he decided to make cannons higher then mk.3 after people have all 4 D:

Like hitting a Upgrade button next to the module so you can buy/replace it with a Mk2-3 or w/e for a reduced cost.



I got a better example, If you buy a console game, beat it and have little else to do with it, you can sell it/trade it in at a game/gamestation store where you will get money of a new one
