havent looked at all posts regarding super sking, so the answer may be out there.

My question is will the six mentoring badges now become defunct?

Nothing is set in stone until the release is live. So far, it appears the mission-holder will still be getting credit for thee badges. Also, it may still be possible to sk normally while street-fighting.

Mentor badge credit is still given whenever you are the Mission Owner, and someone is auto-sidekicked to you.

thank you for your reply Snow.

Your reply 'Mentor badge credit is still given whenever you are the Mission Owner, and someone is auto-sidekicked to you.' intrigues me

For instance once v16 comes out, this means I will be able to invite seven lowbies to my farm mission have them door sit while I clear the map and fast track earning the mentoring badges.

Am I understanding your answer correctly?

I don't know how that would "fast track" you earning the badges. It's just time spent mentoring. If you spend an hour under the old system of having a single SK or an hour under the new system of having up to 7 SK's, it's still one hour. Perhaps you were thinking 1 chronological hour would earn you 7 SK hours? Very doubtful.

I wouldn't know. However if I did, I wouldn't be able to tell you because of the Closed Beta Non-Disclosure Agreement. The Positron quote above is in the Public Forums though. You can check the thread to see if Positron answered that question. Otherwise you will have to wait to open beta to find out.
