I'm not so sure Heroes could have any justification for holding people like that - and certainly not for beating them up repeatedly .p

while it's a fun idea, I'm wondering what exactly would be the use other than farming contaminated?
EDIT: on a side note, having something like a detention room like the prison cells in bases when you click "go to hospital" for base raids might be a bit more feasible idea...

Still not sure why Heroes would have cells, as all criminals are tp'ed straight to prison after we take them down

Same reason Reichsman is under the FP headquarters. Some threats are too dangerous.

Yeah... surely that's the job of the police?
Sorry, couldn't resist.

But would it be our responsibility to hold them? If anyone was too dangerous for the Zig, then wouldn't we hand them over to Freedom Phalanx?

You didn't break out, you were broken out.
There's a difference.
Main Hero: Mazey - level 50 + 1 fire/fire/fire blaster.
Main Villain: Chained Bot - level 50 + 1 Robot/FF Mastermind.
BattleEngine - "And the prize for the most level headed response ever goes to Mazey"
So all the prisoners roaming around outside the Zig in Brickstown were broken out too? 
@Golden Girl
City of Heroes comics and artwork
yea, they just got lost on the way to the copter
they escaped because of crey tech on the crey agents in brickstown interferring with the zig's security systems, hence you get missions to go beat up crey...
@ExtraGonk
Which just goes to show that the Zig ain't all that when it comes to security

I think this is a conspiracy...the police can't be arsed to recapture all those council/hellion/skull thugs so they leave it to escaping supervillains to kill em in order to free up prison space and get away with not fulfilling thier duty as officers of the law. AKA a$shats.

Sure they do:
"These are some of the most dangerous people on the planet. We feed them, give them medical care and allow them to worship. And no matter what the liberal media say waterboarding isn't torture."
See, easy.
i supose after some thought you could explane the heros version as not being some sort of simulator room everything works the same only the heros version you suposed to be fighting holograms or something like that a slight twist in the description fixs alot of the problems for heros

Why not just have an arena area, with another Gladiator function..
Fight as many XXX as you can in XX mins..
So you could get the badge at level 50 by fighting 100 Contaminated in the arena..
TBH I believe this would be more suitable, and much more fun 
Me 'n' My bro keep discussing it, 'cos It'll be awesome to fight absolute loads and loads of a certain Critter

Hunt missions are effectively beat up the bad guys (or good guys, for CoV) until you get one to squeal. Back Alley Brawler in the comics was quite happy to stick knives through some poor thugs palms and threaten to cut off his... to get the information he wanted.
A base detention area for questioning sounds reasonable enough.
How about, once you have done a hunt mission, you get a choice to incarcerate one of those mobs.
Whilst you are holding one of the mobs in a cell, of the hunt missions level or higher, it counts towards the 10 of mobs a player in the supergroup needs to defeat to gain information. Any such held prisoner probably gets probation, passed over to the authorities or whatever after a weeks play.
Perhaps in raids, the attackers could break out a prisoner for a pet.

There is absolutley no way they should allow anything like this - we're supposed to be heroes, and beating up prisoners is hardly heroic.

Rounding up escaped prisoners is not the same as beating up captives

Apologies if this has appeared before! I rarely look at the base thread as not relevant to my alts, except for Phlox who is the current leader of "Legion of Evil".
Was thinking that the Isolator badge is hard to achieve if you don't defeat 100 contaminated in the tutorial zone at the very beginning. 1 contaminated in RV every 30 minutes would take ages...so was thinking it would be great if we had the option to capture foes and place in detention cells.
Obviously there would need to be a maximum number of cells, due to rent and available space.
The main drawback with this is that when you start at lvl 1 in the tutorial zone, someone from the SG you want to join would have to be online (so they could invite you to join) before you can capture the contaminated. Another drawback would be that you would have to clear cells at same time that someone is in the tutorial zone. In other words you would have to work as a duo so that both ppl could achieve badge.
I appreciate that this would lead to farming contaminated for SG members that avoided the tutorial zone, but the up side is that it would make this badge achievable for people who left this zone prematurely (as at that time were unaware of Isolator badge - e.g. my main alt Nine Claws)
The more and more I think about this (for Isolator badge), the more infeasible it becomes. Lol
