Hello, all, and CCP Falcon.

I know you mentioned in our correspondence that our Caldari Prime medals were coming with "1.2 or winter, depending on where they can be slotted in."

Just wondering if the team is still moving forward on this.

Although distribution on the battle's 1-year anniversary might be fitting. :P

Recommendations:

-enable ships wobbling in hangar view (pre-Captains Quarters)

-add more missions (NPC fleet vs. NPC fleets that actually shoot)

-STOP NERFING EVERYTHING!

What of the people who were running humanitarian efforts and ferrying out refugees?

I'm sure SoE would want to recognize such behavior.

That'd be nice, but I can't imagine its easy to verify.

My Alliance's fleet got locked out of the system and wasn't able to participate, so I guess no medal for me. Suppose I'll have to be content with my Wings of Valor. What?

I to would like to know if anything plans on being done..

End of the day my kill shot on a Carrier made it all worthwhile :) But I think all of the Caldari Defenders, and Gal Attackers should get medals from their respective governments for services provided :)

The trolls who just shot everything can just get a lump of carbon..

The event has already happened, but we've delayed giving out the medal due to the fact that people contacted us with regards to having it given in a different form than an ingame item, otherwise it would have been released some time ago.

Those who were involved in the battle will be rewarded when the time comes Smile



Couldn't you make it so that it is both an ingame item, and those who possess the item would also have it as a decoration in their character sheets to go with it?

That would be amazing, but I believe that involves a much more complex coding that CCP is unwilling to attempt.

I'm not saying that I qualify for one of these, but the thread reminded me that I was plinking away at the Titan in my Breacher when the Caldari Navy warped in and called me primary. There was a shuttle locking me and keeping me at range, probably to record the sight of my flimsy little rust bucket tanking multiple battlecruisers and battleships, but alas, it was short-lived. I disconnected and couldn't get back in, so the other five Breachers that I brought into system went unused.

It was fun while it lasted!

Are these still in the works ? or not happening anymore?

It's turning into NEO t-shirts mark 2 guess 2013 was a bad year for CCP giving out ingame items like they promised eh :p

Given we are well after the date they said they would have them by, I'm guessing we will never see them at this point, which is highly disappointing.

As an alternative, an in game memorial location which lists the pilots who took part on it's show info?

Once again, this would have been easier if CCP just decided to stick to the original plan and HAND OUT THE MEDALS as INGAME ITEMS.

Would you guys wait for this "magical medal" for another decade or have CCP reward you with actual ingame medals with monetary value?

Given an in game item holds no value other than to isk rich collectors and is NOT proof that you took part as a result, I'll wait a decade than have anyone who is rich enough able to claim attendance.

I would not want CCP Devs to spend countless hours of labor and personnel to implement this "medal system" which only adds aesthetic value to character screens. After all, we are all part of the stakeholders here and I am merely providing a suggestion that could suit everyone in some ways.

Just to add, I did not seat idly on piles of my ISKs while the battle waged on. There are unfortunate us numbering hundreds who were trapped on the other side of the stargates, clicking and praying for hours despite the "maximum que reached error ****," in the hopes of being able to participate in the event. You can surely blame us for not logging in earlier compared to all others who made it to the system, but we did try.

This "medal system" as you call it is already ingame and CCP has used it few times so far like awarding FW militia pilots when they captured all the systems in one of the FW warzones.

Yes I know, but seeing how making this new amazing "trophy" is taking CCP more than half year to implement , it is obvious that this is a huge drain on CCP's part and it is even more obvious that they are reluctant to take on such endeavor at this point in time. Hence, my suggestions on having CCP reward those with an actual ingame medal as initially planned.

So you are telling that "it is obvious that this is a huge drain on CCP's part" not knowing even how many man-hours they have invested in it. They have to like create a medal(one for each side) using the options that the game mechanic provides, write a short text for them and the most tricky part in this case is to find out who qualifies to receive them. At least i would do it that way.

It has been more than half-year. It is almost approaching one year. Obviously it is not simple as "writing short texts" or else, CCP would've already done it.

We both do not know what kind of mechanics is involved. I am just giving suggestion that if it does take lots of men-hours to implement this, they might as well stick to the original plan by handing out the ingame medals.

It being an ingame item, or a medal award visible on the character tab isn't an issue (coding for both is already there, FW shows this) The big issue is who was there and who not. Also, what to do with all the people who tried really, really hard to get in Luminaire ( Caldari Prime) before it was all over (all surrounding systems had their gates packed with pilots) While it's easy to say *they didn't participate, they shouldn't recieve a thing* CCP isn't really fond of this action after the criticism they recieved of their latest two big events (Caldari Prime & the nullsec one).

All in all, issue is not the award itself, that's easy to do, the big issue is: who should get it.
