For me there is lots of ways in which an SG member can contribute. I might do more in some of the ones I am in, if I could be on at a regular time (which I can't) or if they had a large group of people on all of the time (which might catch me around). Right its peak time now when most people can play but I've got to go to work.

All your reply's have helped, thank you...
I have a nice SG that my PvP toons are on, and currently Kawaiii is part of that SG.
[i]I would however like to find an SG to join with the Alt I am currently working on.
I have roughly 1 billion to spend on IOing her when she hits 50 (41 atm) with my perfect build already set in mids.
I expect that once I have her IO'd and 50 I will be looking to do all the accolades, badges and TF's.(unlike me)
Looking to farm in RV for recipes...
She will be a big SG player and always in SG mode.
I would be looking to become a permanent member and be promoted as a very regular player, 3+ hours every night.
I would like a large and Prestigious Sg that could teach me more about SG's and make me feel like i am part of a group that doesnt see me as a money maker.
My Alt is called Psienchantress she is a MindControl / Empathy / Psi-Epic Controller.
Any offers please ?
Carlsberg don't do Farming,
But if they did..........
I would offer you a place Donna, but my SG in on Defiant.

Out of curiosity, is there some kind of table or point of reference that describes the sliding scales of inf when in SG mode?
[/ QUOTE ]
Details here.

Not sure about your SG rules but alot of SG's have moved over to require SG mode all the time since you still earn inf.
I have proposed this myself to the SG im in but so far the leaders have decided to just keep it at a minimum amount earnt each month.
To answer you, No its not bad form if it was in the rules. If you aint happy with how a SG is run join another one or create your own.
[/ QUOTE ]
Given that a minimum amount is reasonable, and that the Handprints on CoH and CoV make a small fortune in the prestige stakes every month, I don't see a need for SG mode to be on all the time. Yes, we could earn more, but leeway is given so it's not as much of a chore as it seems.
Can see where you're coming from though.
Why people keep forgetting that been in SG mode gives more than prestige to the SG?
How many SGs have auto-doc for example?

Another thing that we need to remember is that while in SG mode other things count towards SG badges.
For example there is a SG healing badge that is calculated by the amount of healing done by SG members while in SG mode. These badges then unlock base items.
Another example, the one my SG is working on at the moment, is the Fusion Generator, the third and highest base generator. This required 250 PvP kills while in SG mode and 7,500,000 Prestige. We have nearly got the 7.5 million prestige just need the 250 PvP kills. Hard to get since we are not a PvP SG.

<haxx>Can you get it by going into the open combat zone (forget which - allows Hero vs Hero & Villain vs Villain) and have 2 SG members repeatedly kill each other?</haxx>

first of all the bad news its not 250 kills its 750 kilss dark lords have been working on it for a long time now and its slow going considering most of the group are pve based
and as far as we (we being dark lords and coalition) have figured any pvp kill at all counts towrds the badge just as long as the kill is in sg mode. and youve raised an interesting question about it havent actuly atempted to kill to a free for all killing each other to get the badge (the zones warburg) might try and scrape together some members and try it over the weekend
There isnt a problem on earth that cant be solved with the proper aplication of hi explosive's

Ouch!!! This is gonna take us ages to get then I wish they could make this easier to get since as you say most SG's are PvE based and this is forcing players to take part in PvP, even though PvP does not interest a lot of players.

We did this in one day in Warburg with 8 members, 2 chars each, 1 kills all 7 others then swaps chars and goes to the back of the que, next one does same etc.

Thanks for the offer Donna, but if you read one of my earlier posts just after you asked for SG invites I said our SG was Defiant based. This means since you seem to be Union based no use to you

Wow! Great work to get this done in 1 day. We had one attempt to do this that we just found boring tbh. We just started looking for villains to kill & found none as the zone was empty then we went back to PvE

Some SGs are good - most just miss the point. A select few get to play with the base designer, and like everyone else to go out and earn Prestige so they can play with the base designer. You have to ask what's in it for you.
People to scare up for missions? Global Chat takes care of that.
SG Teleporters? Less useful now with the Green Line extensions, Pocket D (especially if you have the teleporter), the Faultline manhole. Nice, but hardly that compelling.
The SG Trial? Ooops.
The benefit to an average player of being in an average SG is quite low; when they start sending you begging letters, it's time to quit.
In fairness, the TP network in even a small 4-destination setup can be very handy for filling the gaps that the trains, Ourob and PD leave for minimsing your maximum hops to 2. In a larger base with 4 or 8 TPs it can be brilliant, especially on older contacts who tend to send you to different zones for mishes without giving you their number. Throw in a med bay and most hazard zones are a little bit less of a pain. Having an invention table, Vault and enhancement storage within a few steps of eachother can really speed up the offloading of recipes and salvage. They're not entirely useless, and unless you're a very dedicated player you're unlikely to be able to set up even a very small base on your own (let alone maintain it, if you upgrade the plot), so your best shot at getting to play with all the base editor toys is to rise in the ranks of a big SG and keep your fingers crossed.
If your only beef is that you've been cut off from your mod-cons, it's no great loss - there's tonnes of sgs out there that'll have comparable bases with better comeraderie, so you'll probably look back on this as a positive experience over all.
I have a SG most of my alts are in. It consists of me and a mate who rarely plays so there are no SG nights etc
The base, however, has teleporters to 16 locations, an Oroborus Crystal and Crafting place and that is all i use it for. So if you need a basic SG with amenities and no ties PM me
