Specially Sanctioned?

Aug 08, 2008 Achay link
Hi all,

I have tried searching to no avail to find just what this means and how to accomplish it. I want to buy a weapon but it requires that I am 'Specially sanctioned personell'

How exactly do I gain this?

[EDIT]

Someone just told me in game.

It appears I need to kill 10 Queens, which I can't do, if anyone is in or near Serco space and would like to help me kill 10 queens I would be most grateful, well when I say help I really mean let me join your group and you kill them because I cannot :)

you really should earn the badge yourself.

that being said, im willing to give you some mega positron blaster, but you might not have the license levels needed to use them anyway.

No one can solo queens anymore. It's only possible to kill them in groups. Unless you have perfect timing with swarms in order to have all of your volleys hit at once or something.

So killing queens is essentially a group activity.

I'll help you out, Achay, but I can't do so in Serco space. The local govermnent and I do not see eye-to-eye. Mebbe grayspace?

It's a hame it's only possible in a group though :(

In an mmo like vo where the population count is small, nothing <in my opinion> should be impossible solo....

You can kill a queen by yourself, even a 200% shielded queen. You need well timed swarms and geminis to do the job.

You might as well use Neutron Blasters in place of the Geminis. Inside three seconds, you can as much damage as three tubes full, with a Heavy PC.

Try queen hunting in UIT. Unless the devs messed with queen shield strength it's still possible to take out a queen by yourself (I haven't gone queen hunting in UIT space for over a month so it might have changed).

You can kill queens all by yourself, it's just a matter of "stacking" the missiles so they all hit at the same time so the shields drop down from 200% to under 100%. Reload, rinse repeat.

The devs need to replace the "Specially Sanctioned" with "Requires 10 Queen Kills" or something, it is confusing too many people.

There really needs to be a 'queen/levi hunting matchup service' in-game.

Details:
It lists groups that intend to hunt big game. Of course, groups would have to be able to set some bit, according to which you can see name and nation of the group leader, nothing more. Clicking on the name (or double-clicking it) would write '/msg "group leader name"' to the chat console and prompt an entry, allowing people to msg the group leader and ask for admission.

I realize there is #100, where you can ask people. I just thought that this wuold reduce cluttering of #100.
