With this in mind, think about how long it would take to have EVERY PLANET STRUCTURE that is obtainable from the BATTLE MARKET on EACH PLANET?
You're being unrealistic. Probably depends on the person that plays galaxy legion and if they're willing to take the challenge to do that.

nearly 25,000 raids ... probably 20,000 of those involving badges ... still do not have a heist dispatch station on every planet.
currently have stations on 173 of 204 planets, so i am getting there ... but it will still be a few months yet ...

I love how everyone is still calling it PvP. It's NPCing for playernames because you only hit offline players. So quaint guys.
Oh, as for the OP, it would have the same level of meaning as Combat Reputation. Not to mention the data transmission issues it would cause.

Aside from the the other great points made contra this idea...I want to know how inferior powered ships will suddenly grow wings and kill all the tough boys?? Will it be thru arti spam? Surely no one will mind that or take offense. Plus , hey make new friends...friends who spank you every day for cm'ing and krio'ing them.
Who knows , in a week or so your ign could become a household name for alerts. "Look BOB, pink Paul is alerted again..let's grab jeb and the gang and zero us a chew toy."
-1 to OP also due to what Diego and Senator Hung said regarding badge usage. I have maxed every ally except Kriell (who is 72) and still have uses for all badges of every color. In fact, like them, I cant keep up with demand for yellows and blues.

it may be the intent to make it people fight their own class, However unless say you remvoed getting a badage from people below your "points" it will have the oppsite effect. I know I would use it too farm easyer badages.

In fact, like them, I cant keep up with demand for yellows and blues. Every ship, weak or strong, will have the opportunity of growing wings if they put in work and get lucky on the upgrades. Some weak ships will get lucky, while some don't. In that case perhaps a 50% success for the upgrades with a 5% chance of drop if failed is more fair for people when they disable enough weaker ship toughness lower than their ship. People get nothing for using artifacts on them or themselves when disabling ships with my idea, so artifact bombing will get you nothing.

Serne,
Actually i do the command centers. I don't hack that much, but i have found they work out very nicely for storage worlds. as far as TiB, i try not to be a jerk in pvp...if you plan to TiB you might as well just use the free artis for debufff you already get.

It is surprising how few people think about the coding requirements of their ideas and the extra work on the server/Dan. Lame idea It's a combination of everything he already has like adding flavor to regular water to make something new for most of the coding. I'm not convinced that my idea is bad unless you explain thoroughly how game breaking or lame it is with your personal opinion. However, this is just an idea, so Dan might take pieces of my ideas to formulate his own ideas. Trying to solve the shelf life of modules, balance the efficiency of all productions, and motivate the weak or inactive to fight and get people to put in effort to get strong is not so easy though.

Yellow Badges: 18948 I have stations on every planet that needed more 1 space:1 AP filler. I have stations in cargo. There is a real limit to the usefulness of most badge items - the badges that are figuratively speaking infinitely useful are reds, silvers, darks, and relics. If you're big into upgraded assimilation loci, add greens to that list. Yellows and blues... meh. TIBs are tactically pointless, Nexii are a poor planet structure at best, and while there are a bunch of great yellow things, it's hardly infinite unless Dan lifts the limit on heists per planet.

I totally disagree on yellows and blues. Upgraded heist is pretty decent. Blues, you could certainly make an arguement there, but i dont think there's a huge outcry that blues are wasting away for anyone. Most people hack, get their mod and upgrades, max their ally, then hack either for leaderboard...or to try to crit for planets. Blues are kind of a side effect at a certain point.
You are obviously the vast forerunner in raids, many mutli (so no yellow associated) but for almost everyone else I would bet yellows still have some value. With the base raid function that's 3 yellows every couple of days just by itself. IMHO
