As a corp that uses certifications for their pilots, are you in Agony contemplating using the new medals in game? I can see it being a rather expensive deal, since creating a medal is 5 mill, but awarding it is another 5 mill each time too. I was going to use it, but then I did the math for just our smallish corp and came up with some very staggering figures... And as to certifications - it has a long time ago been said that certification would be possible to non-Agony pilots. Has this plan been canceled entirely? If you do start using medals, fx. for completing Basic, do you know if you can award medals to a non corp-member? Probably cannot, I can see where that could be used for harassment... :) The Cheapskate

As far as I can see you have to be a corp member to be awarded a medal. The medals are transferable, i.e you don't lose them if you move to a new corp. I can only see these being used for some exceptional circumstances. I doubt they have much use day to day, because they do look expensive. Certificates on the other hand seem to be entirely related to skills trees, not awarded for a special purpose, but for completing a certain set of skills e.g Basic Armor Tanking.

Yeah, I agree that CCPs certificates is something different. I was thinking about Agonys certifications.

I might be wrong, but Agony's certs don't seem to fit the current offerings from CCP.........maybe later.

I think what Kath's getting at is, have we scratched the plan to offer our Certifications to non-Agony members?

As far as I'm aware, it's not scratched, just on the back burner. Our certifiers are plenty busy enough just taking care of our internal certification requests, and developing our certification base.

If medals are only awardable to members of your own corp, they probably won't be of much use to Agony. But if it was possible to award them to others, even at a cost, it might be worthwhile for Agony to create a PvP BASIC medal for students who were willing to pay the extra cost to get the medal awarded. I don't see that as a money maker, but as a "give at cost" idea to the players who complete basic and are willing to pay the extra for the medal.

Nae, you totally misunderstood me. I was not referring to awarding medals to Basic students (this is not possible, has to be in corp) but instead of or in combination with the nice ribbons on the forum. Like the certification as Certification Evaluator, fx !lol Anyway, was just thinking about it, and wondering if you guys were going to use it. Still think it is going to be too expensive in the long run. :P Kath

Ecatherina W here is yours. I award you with the Kneebiter award :amazed:

The Pilot who excels at (and frankly, prefers) cutting down ships by aiming at landing gear, as well as the rear of a ship, may be nominated by peers and commanding officers as a Kneebiter. It consists of a pair of silver-plated dentures inside a clear acrylic cylinder, with a fragment of armour plating clenched tightly between the teeth, almost always with the insignia of an enemy upon it. This award is meant to sit on the desk of the recipient as a knicknack or paperweight.

This award can be dumped on anyone's desk, from Private on up.

So, no medals if you are not in Agony. Thats too bad. I took the basic class on 6th December,
and I would happily buy a medal to commemorate my proudest moment:

"Student fired on Agony Instructor during Basic".

nice one....
Men of war have long known that warriors must often abandon those verities they defend. Peace, human kindness, love... for they hold no meaning to the enemy. And so, to win, do we become what we despise... and despise what we become?
