I successfully raided an Xecti Governor, but there was nothing to receive from it (just a yellow badge, no minerals). BUT, Equal Opportunity did NOT count it as a successful raid. Here are the screenshots to prove it.

You got the count towards the disable of a Xecti, because you actually disabled the ship.

You didn't get the count towards the Raid of a Governor, because the game doesn't count raids that result in 0 minerals/artifacts stolen.

It should. The description of the medal says "Raid a member of each playable profession." I did so successfully, it SHOULD give me the point for it.

Photon's right. Nowhere in the description does it say you have to get minerals from it. It just has to be a successful raid. I think she should be credited with this.

It should look at the yellow badge drop and then the profession.

ah crap sucks to be me right now, already had someone claim that damn medal off me and im ranked 374 whilst he was in a top legion who is ranked 612 so atm its not good being xecti since theres not that many of us compared to other races so i feel very singled out atm lol

At least there isn't an achievement (That' I've seen) asking to kill 1 of every race while they are disguised as a dark smuggler. If you happened to be a Xecti disguised as a Dark Smuggler, I can imagine you would be rare enough to be alerted just so people could finish the medal using you

It would suck to be a Genataar or Biologist riflght now lol.

not that rare at higher ranks, but being a non governor xecti, there is a lot less people gunning for me.

The description of the medal does not in any way indicate that the raid even needs to be successful.

Especially since Governors and biologists are so rare, I submit that the medal should count even failed raids!

How annoying would it be to disable one of these professions and get failed raids repeatedly because their crew is much larger than yours, whats more what if you do finally get a success and it's a 0 resources success?

This seems an important issue to fix for medalists.

The Medal Description has been updated to reflect that points need to be taken for medal credit.

For clarification, why is it that a successful raid which doesn't yield minerals or artifact points does not count as a truly successful one? Just out of curiosity on this one.

Because if you raid something but get nothing out of it, it isn't a succesful raid.

Then why bother getting the yellow badge for it? If it doesn't yield anything, and it's supposedly "not successful", you shouldn't get anything for it.

That is a good point.

geez, if the boy scouts followed this ...

me, i like getting me badges ... i don't really need the plunder, though they do add up

It's not the fact that I'm complaining that we get a badge, but if it's not really deemed as a "successful raid", then why are we getting rewards for it? To ME, if you get ANY rewards at all, that's something you've done CORRECTLY, and that should also mean that you get this reward as well...it's just my thoughts.

different rewards, different requirements.

the badge is for a successful raiding - the fact that the enemy had nada in their holds doesn't mean you didn't successfully board their ship.

the medal is for raiding AND timing your raid so that your enemy has stuff in the hold.

i see no reason why the two rewards / requirements should be co-mingled, especially since Dan has already corrected the medal blurb.

Thanks Dan! That will help resolve the confusion! =)
