its been along time and mentioned alot. i do remember devs saying that they going to open up these fleet actions to us so that we arent level restricted. it is annoying that we as a group of people cant play the game together. not just as a fleet but heaven forbid we try to do a multi fleet event. with in the next couple of hours can you open this up. we have waited long enough.
So only Admirals can get the accolaide? No thanks. Bad enough they've been able to worm into other FAs and "steal the show." I'd rather take second place to someone of equal rank (because that's fair) than to have worked my a$$ off to get top score only to lose to someone who's playing space Rambo in a lower ranked zone with a gun 2x stronger than what I have.
Romulus.. when we (admirals) play FA's its not for the prizes, its for the fun. The devs could easily give an award to the highest score for each rank in the FA. Or let admirals play below their class and opt out of any awards. I think the first idea is best. tiers for rewards and throw in variable lvl badguys.
Throw in a cluster of badguys ranked higher than even the admirals to force teamwork.. I think that in fleet actions they went with quantity over quality on the badguys.. No one would complain if the badguys in an FA were exceptionally strong. The RA's can go after the big guys while the lower ranks go after others..
its not about the reward, do the reward based on level and amount of kills or even when entering a multi level zone dont give winner reward. just give normal reward for completing mission and rewards for killing ships as done already. this needs to happen.

I'm talkin about Admirals who have exploited a bug to worm into lower tier missions. I've missed out on 4 because of this. It happens.

I wouldn't trust anyone to be honest about it. It'd have to be mandatory in order to ensure that no one exploits their placement.

And I'm talking about as it is now, I think it's a bad idea because of the reward/accolaide aspect. If it's implemented right now with no boundries, then I might as well wait till the rest of my toons make VA so I can just enter the lower tier missions to steal the accolades.
Im RA.. what the hell am I going to do with a special mark IV torpedo launcher.. The FA's used to be done together and they were amazing and fun.. now I havent even attempted a fleet action since before the summer.

Yes I remember. I was actually thinking more of the ground missions (where I've seen most of the admirals,) but in either case, that's a mission reward you just metioned, not an accolade. For example if you get top billing at Starbase 24, the accolade allows you to display a chunk of the station and a holographic image of SB 24 in your ship's mess hall/rec deck. That's what I shoot for, and whoever gets top score gets it.
As far as the usefulness of a "special" MK IV torp at RA - it's either a perfect hand-me-down to another character or an item to be sold on the exchange.

It's not.. trust me.
And the FA's were segregated before there accolade system was put in place. I still call BS on cryptics handling of the Fleet Actions.. They listened to complaints.. tried a half-hearted solution and killed FA's for the higher ranks.. Killed inspiration for the lower ranks..
Lets put in a way the accountants at atari will understand.. The only reason i kept playing was because of the FA's and seeing my little miranda dwarfed by the player in the Galaxy class that who took out the group of BOP's kicking my TRIBBLE. That drove me to want a better ships.. which means i paid for another months subscription.
I have more than 8 toons and I PvP as much as possible. An MK IV blue torp most definitely can be useful for my lower ranked toons, or as exchange money.

And on the flip side, I've had admiral get into an LT Comm level Ker'rat zone and spawn camp me and other Klinks. I'm fine with SOME aspect of cross-ranking FAs, but the accolades would need to be given as rank specific, and it should only bee within 2 ranks of each other (lt -lt comm, lt comm- comm, etc)
