Does anyone know if the prohibition on ship boosts for this app counts Neurals or RSL implants?

Apparently Neurals count toward "any temporary beneficial effects" Read my friend. Anything that gives +xx% or +xx points for yy amount of time is a temporary beneficial effect.

Module effects would be exempt from this as they are "permanent" so long as they are installed since they don't have an expiration time.

That's what I figured from reading the description. I was asking if anyone had confirmed this.

I can confirm that an active neural prevents you from working towards this achievement.

From what i have heard, calmingamps an halcyon auras also prevent you from working for the achievment.

look valkno's ship

use no arties i have firestalker pain in the butt

I can confirm this, any buff with a time limit counts against you(With the exception of traps)

I have killed about an extra 50 crimsons learning the ins and outs of this.

Same here!

Only NEGATIVE Buffs (Sometimes Called "DeBuffs") will not give you grief on this badge.

Examples of Positive Time Based Buffs (WILL STOP BADGE FROM BEING ACQUIRED):

Halycon Aura, Calming Amp, XRP Warp Fule, Tevrazon Gas Canister, All Universal Service Terminal Buffs, Dark Root Node Ability, Neurals, RSLs, Dark Pyramids, Kulgox Octal Sacks, Mutagenic Cartridges, etc.

Examples of Negatiive Time Based Buffs (DO NOT STOP BADGE FROM BEING ACQUIRED):

Quantum Flares, EMP Sphere, Disarming Bomb, Krionus Virus Trap, Hallows Bane Trick, Quantum Firewall Trap, NPC Abilities.

Examples of Items which will probably keep you from acquiring this medal but have not been tested (At least by me):

Octafari Holo Disquise, Asteroid Disguise

If you're shooting Crimsons while you have a Stryll Pathogen running, you're doing it WAY wrong...

Aye, been playing games so long it doesn't always occur to me that people might not know the difference between a buff and a debuff.

This annoyed me: killing crimson blades ships and them not counting because I had my dark aperture key ability activated. Make sure to either kill them BEFORE activating the ability or to refrain from killing them until AFTER the ability wears off. For those of you who don't know, it reduces tariff by 50% (from 20% to 10%) for 1 hour. It takes 50 energy to use and has a 12-hour cooldown.
