After learning more about the game, I decided to reset my account and try playing from a different approach. But I've noticed a glitch....

I have raided 5 players so far and I have 5 yellow badges in my cargo hold, but my stats only show me as having 1 successful raid. (This may be because only one of my raids rewarded me with mineral points, the rest all came up empty.)

Whatever the reason, I just don't want to get banned when I install a protean armory with less than 80 raids on my stats, so it would be really nice if this is fixed.

You will obtain a yellow badge, but not a "Successful Raid" on your stats, if you raided an enemy but they had no MP or AP. Personally I enjoyed that, faster yellow badges at low ranks.

It's the same thing with hacks - when you hack someone with zero RP, you get +1 actions, +1 blue badge, but it's not recorded as a "Successful Hack" on your stats. If you get all 3 Protean Armories with less than 80 raids, it just means you did a LOT of raiding of already-disabled people at a low rank. I did all mine around Rank 18 with the "Ice Fishing" method.

Okay, thanks for clarifying that. I was worried cause I saw a post a few days ago about a player who had all his armories with like 80 raids or something

Yeah, it turns out that's all legit. He reset, and he's got an alright reason for being an amazingly slow ranker. The lack of recorded raids are because, I would guess, most players under Rank 15 or so probably have little to no AP/MP. I remember I personally didn't get any mineral/artifact planets until 16-20ish, and I was trying to pull constantly for AP, hoping for any artifacts when I was that low.

But yeah, don't worry. I've got several hundred more blue badges than recorded hacks, and that's after buying two Ciphers, a few TIBs, and half a dozen Counter-Intelligence Nexuses. It's just how the stats are recorded.
