Can I use all the salvage the SG collects to craft stuff for the base, or (because its a Tech base) might I just as well flog the Arcane salvage as unusable?


[/ QUOTE ]

If you have a tech base most of the very common arcane salvage is absolutely useless to you.

In fact most of that very common arcane salvage is absolutely useless to you if you have an arcane base as well.

Do all six need to be destroyed before an IOP can be seized, then?

[/ QUOTE ]

I cant remember if its all 6 or just 5 that need to be destroyed.

Also 5 or 6 raid pylons successfully deployed in 5 or 6 (whichever it is, i cant remember now) different rooms, wins the raid.

[ QUOTE ]
Also - what if / can you have more than six?

[/ QUOTE ]

You can only have 6.

6 anchors, all in different rooms.

[ QUOTE ]
Still, the cynic in me points out that if you do join the group, stick around for 2 weeks (logging in at least 5 times in that period) then decide you don't like it and quit, the SG are still the ones that benefit coz the prestige stays put. Also they don't particularly care about "why" they lost a member since they have replacements queuing up to take the slot.


[/ QUOTE ]

Ok thats a fair point too.

However in the case of our VG they will have had the use of the teleporters, med bay, insp dispensers, free insps from base storage and free enhancements from base storage.
So it wouldnt have been all one way traffic.

Also they will if over lvl 34 have had access to an inf gift to get any enhancements they might need.
Obviously we aint dishing out hundreds of millions for io sets or cossie changes.
But if someones stuck for a few million they will get it.

Lastly, and i can only speak for us here and not all SG/VG's, i do try to get to the bottom of anyones reason for leaving and sort it out if possible.

just massive rent

[/ QUOTE ]

Ours is 420k a time now.

Welcome mate, enjoy the game

[ QUOTE ]
Incidentally, going to the post made by Scotland's Bru about thos SGs kicking people then doing an immediate recruitment, that sounds to me like a horrible way to run a Super Group.

They obviously don't give a hoot about the type of person they are recruiting for a start. No getting to know the person to see if they are fun to team with or anything like that.

[/ QUOTE ]

In a lot of cases the SG/VG would have a waiting list of people, or an alt of a member waiting to take up any spaces made from inactivity, rather than using the broadcast recruitment method.

And then in turn when or if the inactive member becomes active again, a space will be made for them. Its just a cycle used to keep earning, its not all malice and exploitation.

[ QUOTE ]
Also, it can't be that welcoming to be told, "Hi welcome to the group now don't stand here talking to me, get out there and earn us some prestige! By the way if you don't log on at least once every three days your outta here ya loser!!!!"

Quite frankly that sounds to me like the senior members of the SG are simply "pimping" any mug they can get to join for prestige just to keep their own spangly base running.

[/ QUOTE ]

Players get the rules explained to them when they join, its up to them if they want to go ahead or not isnt it.

[ QUOTE ]
I wonder how many of the leaders of those SGs actually log on themselves every three days and if not do THEY get kicked? Probably not. I also wonder, even if they do log on, how much effort they make to earn some of that prestige themselves.

[/ QUOTE ]

They probably do log on most days, and have more than likely earned more prestige than anyone.

[ QUOTE ]
Maybe they are too busy going out trying to trap new slaves er I mean "recruit new members" into joining the group

[/ QUOTE ]

Again, trapping and recruiting are two vastly different things, and if anyone did ever have the feeling they were being conned or used, its very easy to leave isnt it.

None of that lot is to say your wrong Lady, but its not as easy as it might look keeping a SG/VG active, you do need to have a few rules and methods to stick to.

[ QUOTE ]
well i hope to make a small dent in that way of thinking as ive been getting to know a few more ive desided to creat US versions of my hero and villain sg using the same way of thinking that worked well for us here lets just wait and see if it actuly works over there or not


[/ QUOTE ]

Yea your gonna do well there same as you did here, cos your gonna be leading it your way.

Difference is you will have a few more people to do it with.

[ QUOTE ]
which in my opinion shows just how much of a real comunity there is over here


[/ QUOTE ]

Yes i think even the most ruthless SG/VG's here draw a line at some of the American tactics to increase prestige earnings.

Nice one they both look good mate.

[ QUOTE ]
not dissing the base but its a bit spartan isn't it?


[/ QUOTE ]

Minimalistic my man, minimalistic

Whats your base like out of curiosity?

[ QUOTE ]
Quick question: Can you build the Arachnos Flyer with heroes, too? probably not, right?


[/ QUOTE ]

Not sure, but we have chasers and fliers in a villain base.

I'l get a few items put in your base for you at the weekend if you dont manage to get it done before.

[ QUOTE ]
after rreadying this thread and actuly bothering to think about it for more than 30seconds a thought ocured, wha kind of base you got that you need the fusion genny it must be huge.

as mentioned else where i messed about with the editer for a loooonnngg time to get a decent base design that would work well for raid defence and get everything we need pluss a lil more t make it look good and i found that having the two mid range genys on the second secure plot was more than enuff speace and power to give a nice amount of guns in a small easy to defend base


[/ QUOTE ]

We are on the second or third secure plot, and got the fusion generators just for the sake of it to be honest, but they do look good

Fusion Generators.

[ QUOTE ]
This is why we stopped for the time being and are getting the pres together before we unlock the badge. 13 bloody million *sigh*

[/ QUOTE ]

Keep at it they look great, we got 2 of them now

[ QUOTE ]
the only reason i know this is because of a very very anoying hero i encountered a few month back that just didnt take the hint even after the 20th defeat

[/ QUOTE ]

Glad to hear you dealt with him correctly

[ QUOTE ]
I think the suppression only counts for pvp rep, not anything else.. I recently noticed for example that sirens bounty does not suppress at all.. You can keep killing same person and gain bounty. Im not entirely sure whats the deal with the SG badge though.


[/ QUOTE ]

Ah didnt know that, maybe kills within 10 minutes would still count toward the badge then.

Ok heres what we did, 8 from the sg all villains all in warburg all with 2 alts, 1 to do the killing, 1 to get killed.

Player 1 kills players 2/3/4/5/6/7/8 then changes char to his "getting killed" char.

Player 2 then kills players 1/3/4/5/6/7/8 then changes to his "getting killed" char and so on.

The above is to get round the 10 minutes between pvp kills problem.

We did it in a sunday afternoon/evening session.

[ QUOTE ]
Well, this kinda feels like an exploit, but do consider that we are a small non-PvP Supergroup that just wants to access all the content.

We have maybe 5-10 core people on a server where PvP rarely happens. In normal PvP time it would take the few ones with valid PvP Characters days (weeks even) to farm this badge...

[/ QUOTE ]

In my opinion its not an exploit, you are doing what you are required to do to get the badge, 750 kills in a pvp zone.

What it is though is incredibly boring.

You got the lot, enjoy it when you get it

Oops forgot the salvage to make it, you need that too.

Give him a shout in game on @Sing Star, he seldom reads these boards.

He was in our team last night and was still keen to give it a go.

[ QUOTE ]
Me and the currant only active player in it are hoping the leader will show his face soon () so we can rebuild the base, as the rent is a bit steep for 1 player to earn

[/ QUOTE ]

He will get auto demoted after however long the auto demote is set for mate, so hang on in there
