3. Armored Wreckage - Fly into combat with less than 20 hull but full shields and armor.
4. Go Green - Fly into combat with all/some of your engines disabled, must be disabled throughout the whole engagement.
5. Energy Star - Turn off all aux gens during combat, again throughout engagement. (has to be a ship that has aux gens)
6. Dive Bomber - (have to check if bombs do ship damage) Cloud bomb an enemy ship and kill it, teammates may weaken the ship for you

Some of those actually sound kinda fun but do bombs even do damage to ships? And good lord how many mines would it take to kill a station that is completely repaired? 250? 500? lol I dont know but it sounds like it would take alot.

@Darkcloudd bombs do a little bit of kinetic damage. 1 bomb deals little less than 1% damage to a station's armor. So, a ship can be killed by a bomber dread if it has around 5% hull.
It takes over 100 AM mines to destroy a station wthout damaging its other arcs. That is, if 5 scarabs with multiplexers could agree to do that to a station together.
Here's some from me -
Deathless Life - Equip a K'Luth station with Makkar ship boosters and WormHole device, then engage another station for 3 minutes. You cannot cloak before 3 minutes.
Disciple of Doran - Use a non-K'luth heavy repair ship to kill a cruiser or bigger. Cannot use defense enhancements.
Diplomacy - Fly an EAD or AD around K'Luth ships for 5 minutes without firing at them. Bonus lolz if you aren't hulled.
20/20 sight - Get 5 scout or frigate kills with a missile destroyer.
0ldsk00l - Kill a station with only fighters. Bonus lolz for using only 1 fighter at a time.
Meatshield - Use tractor beam to make enemies FF their own platforms.
My head hurts! - Equip a UGTO ship with only ablative armor on fore, and engage a beam-heavy ship.

It seems mines do more damage when uberstacked, as in standing still and spamming mines till you reach the limit.
I think I hulled or nearly hulled a full repped station with 1 scarab using this stacking method.
Beware, although you can stack your own mines like this, allies can't touch this stack, so you will have to make multiple stacks.

The Right weapon: Use emp's to defeat ICC shields, then use particle cannons to defeat their armor and then flux weapons on their hull.
Sniper: Use Ion cannons only to kill an enemy Destroyer from over 1000gu away.
Clone Wars: Recapture a captured player ship. (bonus points if the player who was captured does it)
Under Arrest: Intercept an enemy in midjump by jumping past them with an interdictor on.
... My ideas arent really funny, but they are hard.

Personally I'm not fond of achievements that would affect how players play and become a liability to the team.

You would have to intercept them with it. you couldnt just chase them down i dont think. Although if i remember correctly, K'luth jump faster (they actually move faster) so it would be easier with kluth.

I'm surprised at how many of these I've already managed.
