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.

Could work.. however it has some holes for exploiting.. for instance 10 members of SG do a hunt mish for same type of mob, they all capture 1 of em, having 10 of them in the base. Then people could just get a hunt 10 xxx mish and they'll get free xp as the base already holds 10 of em.
Limiting amount you can capture of a same type would solve this, or maybe increase the amount of energy/control needed to sustain one of the same type as you need to prevent them conspiring a breakout etc? I like the idea of them being rescuable as a pet in base raids though

Rounding up escaped prisoners is not the same as beating up captives
[/ QUOTE ] Don't know how you round up the prisoners GG, but I thrust claws into their chests normally....Can't say that this is "rounding them up", I defeat them painfully.....no handcuffs as a power I'm afraid to say.

Another reason to love the MA power set - you can subdue them safely without causing them too much pain or injury 
And handcuffs aren't neeeded - they go straight to the Zig

Dark Melee is also fairly victim friendly.
Yeah, so it drags fragments of their soul to hell with every hit, but at least their hide remains intact.

Hide, schmide - we should keep their souls intact if we want to try and reform them

Not always, sometimes they go to the Zag instead.
I was thinking about this the other day actually. It would be a good way to show off how many people you've killed.
For example:
Kill X of The Circle of Thorns and you get a Mage locked in a detention cell as a badge that you can claim either the arcane or tech version of. Could be the same for all other villain groups aswell.
Not sure we have the authority to imprison criminals - we round 'em up, and the Zig takes care of 'em
Keeping live trophies is kind of a Villain thing

I don't really think that's legal for us to do that, especially as it implies beating them up

umm...Protective Custody? heroes have a certain status under the law, Surely they have some detainment powers, even if short-term?

But the suggestion here is to allow us to hold prisoners, and then beat them repeatedly for bagdes

...Anti-Protective Custody..? Hmm mebbe not then
Beating up (non-escaped) prisoners for badges is kinda cheap, tbh

If you have nothing useful to say, you have two choices: Say something useless or stay quiet.
That's in a combat situation - holding prisoners just so you can beat them is another situation - one that Heroes should never be involved in

[/ QUOTE ]So beating them up on the street is fine, in your own home (base) isn't? Your morals are slightly suspect GG....your not such a goodie goodie really....you should start thinking about the dark side!
And if (as someone else mentioned) that keeping foes to beat them up cheaply for badges is wrong...then there are lots of farmers out there, that are breaking the moral fibre of the game aswell.
Still think that detaining "Contaminated" specifically as my OP suggests is fine...otherwise my Main will never get the Isolator badge.
And another thing GG, every police force in the world detains and interrogates it's prisoners (even if they are only detained for a few hours, they are still prisoners by definition). Ok, I agree that beating on defenceless foes in the base may be deemed as torture...but I could easily say that I'm interrogating them for another reason...

Two things - first, when we fight them on the streets, or anywhere else, they're armed and dangerous - not unarmed and in a cell.
And second, we're not police - we're here to deal with problems the police can't handle - we do the arresting, the police do the holding and interviewing.
If we carried out all the duties of the PCPD, then that would make the police completely un-needed.

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
