Imaslicer Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 So first question: How do I earn medals? I get like 4-5 kills each game, which I guess is pretty good since I'm a beginner, but I only end up with 2-4 medals each game while some get 10 so what am I doing wrong? Second: I'm waiting for a game to start and I notice some names are high lighted, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwipe Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) Medals are earned for capturing objectives, killing turrets, killing other players, assists, damage dealt, and other stuff. Check this section of my new player's guide. It isn't an exhaustive list but should give you an idea http://dulfy.net/2013/11/15/swtor-galactic-starfighter-new-player-guide/#3 Highlighted names are used to divide players into squads of 4. Players in your squad appear on your minimap as highlighted green dots. Mostly used for pre-mades who want to coordinate.

Imaslicer Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Thanks for the answers, but is it suppose to be so hard to get a gold medal in this? I've never got more than bronze and I've only seen players with bronze or silver, never gold. Just seems so hard to gear up your ship if you only get 300-500 ship requisitions every game...

AlrikFassbauer Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Interesting. The game never really tells one that there are actual squads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantazm Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Medals are irrelevant anyway aside from a momentary wang-waving exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renegadeimp Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Medals are irrelevant anyway aside from a momentary wang-waving exercise. Not exactly. The more medals you get, the higher your reward at the end of the game. Especially if you win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantazm Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Not exactly. The more medals you get, the higher your reward at the end of the game. Especially if you win. False. Medals are not related to the amount of requisition you gain per match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bstr Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 False. Medals are not related to the amount of requisition you gain per match. ^ This statement was confirmed by the Developers.
