Great Guide! Humourous and informative!

For the interested, also have pics of all the TA/A powers here (although I need to redo entangling arrow as they have changed it).

I think Manticore always set the level to the highest member of the group (and possibly Numina too - but her's is only over 3 levels anyway), but all the lower level 'original' ones have always been set to the upper level limit of the task force regardless of the level of the team for as long as I've been doing Task Forces (since before Issue 1). Can't remember which type the Striga ones are.

The only change to the levels of the task forces that I'm aware of is the reduction by 1 level of the upper limit for the first four TF's when auto-exemp was introduced.

I'm pretty sure this was changed at some stage - did Manticore post I5 and it scaled to the TF leader, not the max level. In fact in order to up the diff we had a couple of people log off/on so a higher level char inherited the leadership.
I've experienced the same thing with the first SF, it is definately not scaling to the SF leader. Not sure if CoH has changed back also, or if this is a purely CoV thing...

I was at GenCon as well and can backup the OP claims about Prestige and SG bases.

I did talk to Zeb about using influence to pay for the bases.

He said the reason they did it this way is so that people who are around level 20 group can get a base. If influence was used to pay for the base, a level 20 group couldn't pay for it. So they decided to make a new system so that lower level SGs could afford a base.

If I didn't explain myself well, I am sorry it is 1:35 AM and I am really really tired.

I run a weekly SG with a uniform, but we never use SG mode. Why? because the logo we use (a number ' 8 ') is not available as an SG emblem.

In fact none of my characters ever use SG mode, because i spend alot of time and effort on their costumes, and usually don't want the colours or chest emblem changed.

I have a simple solution though (not including the gawd-awful datamining idea), make the chest emblem change OPTIONAL,
just like the colours, then people can team and be in SG mode with no change of appearance.

Also I think you should have to be teamed with SG mates to earn prestiege, or at least have it multiplied depending on how many SG mates are in your team. Teaming with 7 SG mates should be worth more than 7 soloing heroes in terms of the amount of real 'prestiege' you would earn.
