I wish I'd kept track of how many people I've helped finish medals, but as you've probably guessed by now, I'm just not that organized. If I had noted who needed which ships needed which races or professions I would have used fewer Ethereal Shells.
Thank you to everyone who has helped me get alerted in legions where someone wanted help with a medal, and thanks to others for tolerating me bullying you into finishing a medal
In the early game when the unlockable professions first appeared as bi-weekly missions, almost everyone unlocked every race. Now I see a lot of people who haven't finished some of those mission chains and will probably not bother. Who needs to be Kronyn, when higher ranks in every legion are happy to drop or alert a 17x Research planet for lower ranks?
The rotating race daily mission sounds cool. Maybe when Dan does a mobile version of GL (my particular GL fantasy), he'll incorporate the idea.
