Question on Empyrean merits

So on My Main, I've run a number of BAFs where I've gotten back to back Empyrean merits, and a number of Empyrean merits through out a single 18 hour period when the E-merit was supposed to be on cool down.

At first I thought it was a bug, but when talking to other people it seemed clear to me it had something to do with badges. Now my main got an e-merit when it got the Master of BAF Badge. However it got more even after that badge.

So in talking to others and reading some of the DEV posts, I really thought I'd read something along the lines of: Continually doing the 4 badge requirements (no escapee's, dont turn off towers etc.) Will not only reward extra Astral merits, but extra e-merits as well for each time you do a full set of them. (IE all 4 requirements for the masters badge.)

I've been trying to test it but I have a hard time getting anyone on board for the Keep Em separated badge.

So can anyone (Red name perhaps?) confirm this. Because otherwise there is something else I'm doing to get extra e-merits on occasion, or their's a bug.

I know i've gotten extra E-merits for doing Strong and Pretty on the BAF. I'm not sure its intended, but i've been able to reproduce it atlest twice in one day *as in i got 3 merits off 3 different BAF runs, within 18 hours of each other, 2 of the runs i did Strong and Pretty for*

Well, the DEV's must have fixed it or some thing cause I've only gotten one per day per trial now every if the mission is done perfectly, I don't mind the cool down effect I just hate only getting one Empyrean merit after all that work.
