can we get a frigate medal? I'v killed them over three times! (ok, at least three of those were my own friggy, wingbuged, but still..) like hvy guns, medals for 1 kill 3kill 10 kill ect.

and stuff like a mega repair beam, better hvy weps, and, AVALONS!

post YOUR ideas.

watsaavlon?

I like the idea though

[Edit] Make it like queen kills though, anyone who helped get's it too.

avalon = a nuke doing 10k damage with 1 hit + splashdamag ein a radius of 500m (or was it bigger?). The only drawback was that you needed to hit the opponent deadon since it was contact detonation weapon. So no prox. And seeing how hard it is to hit people with screamers, imagine how hard it is with avalons :D

yea... I hated avalons. Avalons were the second reason why I quit. People would just sit back and shoot Avalons at the dock, and if that's where you were homed... well you could never leave the station. It was just as bad as Arolte lightning mining those small disk shaped stations (again, which I was dumb enough to home to), and trapping players inside the station for hours on end.

Except that could be easily fixed now. Since there's station guards, they could just make the station guard AI include "intercepting" incoming missiles aimed at a station.

If Avalons came back, it would enable the devs to give our beloved heavy cruisers an absurd amount of additional health, while still ensuring their destructability...

if Avalons come back, then there will have to be a way to shoot them down.

And probably have to be some sort of lockon requirement so that you can't just spam Avalons. Like the target must be large enough, and you have to hold it in your reticle with a minimum of movement for a period of 5 seconds, or something. Just so that you're a sitting duck during the firing sequence, or something.

Well, you could also add the safety. So that a player would have to be outside of the nuking zone in order for it to connect, This would keep people from firing it on something close to them and instanuking

But warheads currently ignore safety if they hit with contact.

yea, that's NG for the Avalon.

since ramming/instanuking currently does 2x the damage to the offender, an instanuking prom with full health beforehand would live. with darn low health :) (but most things around it would be dead anyway)

dude, have you guys gone soft!? first... there IS a ten sec god-mode when you come out (since the alpha) and the station gaurds already kill mines. AND there was NEVER avalon spamming, there was only 4 avalons per load! meaning the most is 8 avalons per ship. also, they go slow.
L-mining, with god mode, all you had to do was turbo out, a few busses gone, and presto! out (and if you called for help, then someone was in for getting killed)
now get the heck back on topic!

(oh, and avalons had a 5m radius)

me still thinks that if people shoot rockets at stations and they enter the nfz zone they should be intercepted or at least make the person shooting them KOS (temp) and get some of those nice strikeforces on his buttocks

ah yes, real griefing. Makes me nostalgic.

I love how from the second post on this "medals!" thread has been an avalon discussion.

@Renegade ++RIP++:
What if you're defending the station against an enemy cap ship, let off a poorly aimed avalon that misses the enemy cap ship, and enters the NFZ?

But, I could see the station guards/SF intercepting it & shooting it down (& a shot down avalon doesn't make a big boom).

hey he brought it up himself :D

if it is an enemy capship then im sure the nfz can be lifted because of aspecial case/mission...
