The 'Exploration Commendation'

The way it is now, I can log in as TR and switch to NC, that should be a no no. It should be, that when I log in, I am locked into that empire for about 24 hours, no switching.

OK back to the commendation things. OK, so you disaprove of it making you get an extra cer point. If not that they shud make it you get something else, because all it is at the moment really is just 900xp that you could have easily got in quarter the time it takes to do the exploration thingy by killin people. How about ... Uhh ... it gives you err... any ideas anyone?

Camping the monolith for two reasons -

one, the same reason that Emerald VS are camping bases with platoons of Aphelions

two, to piss off all those treehugging fairy-loving Ceasefire advocates. Nothing greater than watching an NC or VS come boldly marching up, voice-macro'ing the shit out of you and sending tells saying something like "dont shoot" or "truce", and then imagining the look of surprise on his purple little face when an MCG chews up his health and armor.

Yeah.

I love being an asshole.

I should find one and get my Reaver TR past BR5.

Personally I feel it's a pretty cheap and skill-less tactic. Although I was pleasently surprised to find that some campers actually have a conscience and made sure people got the help window at the monolith before killing them.
I managed to get my badge last night totally on foot - not once did I ride in a vehicle. TR didn't have a lot of broadcast gates last night either - meant some long walks across enemy continents to even get to the right gates and more long walks if the gate was not near the monolith. Was not happy to be picked off by a BFR camper when I was finally 1 grid away after a 2 continent walk and booted back to Sanc. Such is the game I guess but you'd think folks would find something a little more forfilling to do besides:

i skeeter dropped on the monoliths planning on dying. it's more convenient, really.

but in the end, i got the UGLIEST ribbon they could possibly have come up with. seriously, it looks like crap.


edit:


like i told my squad last night, i feel like i need to clean my armor now

Not everything they add to the game is geared solely toward current subscribers.
