We got the badge last night also. I don't think the badge is bugged but the progress bar seems to be. It does seem that the bar is *full* for several days even when your group is running CoT missions in an attempt to finish it off.

Best advise I can give is that you will probably get the badge a few days after the bar seems to be *full*.

Our VG filled the bar on Saturday sometime and despite the numerous additional CoT missions we have run, it just doesn't seem to get awarded.

We even had some members run a SF with several CoT in it and have not gotten it yet. Nice to hear someone got it. Did you have to do anything special? Did you also notice that your bar appeared to be full for some time before being awarded the badge?

[quoteI think you misunderstood Positron. When he said raw material, he's talking about stuff like "Tech Material", "Tech Power", "Mystical Foci", etc... Since it takes 3 pieces of salvage generally to make one of those, you still have a ways to go until you hit the limit.

IE, you have a maximum limit of 20 E-Chips, but you can build one tech power from 3 E-Chips and you can hold 99 tech powers. Even if you fill up on tech power, you can use 2 E-Chips and 1 Armor Shard to make a tech material, and bleed them off that way.

Note: all numbers in the previous paragraph except the limits were pulled out of my butt.

In other words: Dropped salvage (many different kinds) is limited to 20 of each kind. Salvage turned into components is limited to 99 of each kind. Components turned into placeable objects is limited to ??. The maximum limit on placeable items might well come up too, if people start crafting like crazy just to eat up salvage. It'd be no trick at all to have 20 or so turbine generators to your name before your SG gets the space and prestiege to place a single one.

Sure did, doh. However, I do have a couple items that I have 8 or 9 of currently. Since our calculations put a functional base around another 10-12 weeks away, I still think I'll hit the limit but I guess only some more time will tell.

For those players who have reached the Salvage Limit with one or more pieces:

Is your SG capable of making a Worktable so you can consume some of that Salvage into the raw material? (Raw material has a limit of 99 currently).

My main currently has 64 pieces of salvage total. He is only 21 so I have to assume that I will quickly reach the 99 piece limit soon.

As for our base, because we are charged rent even on the prestige we are saving for additional rooms/items once a base is started, we have decided not to build anything until we can afford a small functional base. That will accelarate our functional base expected build time slightly.

We want personal transportor and medical recovery for sure. If we support the 3 (tech or arcane) tables only, we need 1.8 million while supporting all 6 (tech and arcane) will cost 2.3 million. Based on our casual VG activity of 30-35 people, we will need to run at the current rate for either 10 or 13 weeks before being able to build.
