Currently we have our standard badges everyone gets after gaining a certain ammount of point in one area.
This is a very good way to devide ships and giving an initial boost to play..
However a lot of the people in the community feel that we need something more.
Im writing this after reading Luna¡¦s post.
As promised in that post i now present my biggest idea for darkspace as of yet.
I will post my ideas into 3 groups stated below.
„X AI spawn/campaign leaders * moderators whit Script run abillety *
„X History addon
„X Battle Ribbons/merrits
**************************
AI spawn/Campaign leaders
**************************
In the past i have seen the admins having fun by introducing some neutral fun into the MV.
This can be a gaifen stampede or complete systems going neutral thus spawning AI fleets.
This was fun but the AI isnt to smart and cant be done all the time.
As a result i have come up whit the following.
The MV will get the Campaign feature added.
This means that Palestar staff will be running an event in the MV for a certain period of time.
These event will be called Campaigns.
However due to the strict AI these normal events would not last long there for i introduce my idea for the campaign leaders.
These leaders will be selected from the staff and be allowed to run certain scripts.
Also the latest feature will be that campaign leaders will have the option to select Neutral besides the Play button.
This puts them into direct control over the AI ships.
Not 1 ship but he will direct the AI¡¦s be giving orders just like we order transports at the moment.
** NOTE **
Campaign leaders when they take actual command of a ship theyr name will NOT show up.
They will play annonymously to avoid complaints/whining to them.
Example.
The BD*43 system has been completely overrun by pirate fleets the surrounding sytems are under attack at that time.
It is the beginning of a palestar campaign.
The factions can drop hostilety¡¦s to battle this new evil.
The AI¡¦s are being ordered around by the Leaders, thus making them more lethal than usual.
Thus also a heck of a lot more effective.
The leader¡¦s task is to hold off the enemy for the duration of the campaign..
Ofcourse the leader has the abilety to call for reinforcements from time to time.
These battles can be intense and certain staffmembers are to take notice what is going on.
And perhaps make battlereports for the history ppl.
Also by adding this it will allow Palestar to create more strange ¡§creatures¡¨ for these certain events...
Perhaps even Alien ships that these leaders will control directly creating some sort of hunt 
*************************************
History
*************************************
As i said certain staffmembers from each faction should take notice of what happened.
Maybe even make battle reports like in the old days.
The staff that are in charge of the Universe today forum should them be able whit those reports in hand to make an addon to the History of darkspace.
This allows for a certain storyline in Darkspace.
Now here is the fun part....
If a faction does NOT win it WILL be recorded so its also like a faction history then.
Players and entire fleets could be included in the new history allowing them to gain ¡§prestige¡¨ in its original form... recognition of theyr accomplishments.
At a certain time we will have a good ongoing history that will entice ppl to stay and see what will happen next.
***********************************
Campaign ribbons/merrits.
***********************************
During these Campaigns some players may stand out in the fight as ¡§Heroes¡§ these players have no special abilety but due to theyr leadership or combat skills, they made the difference in the campaign by turning the tide.
These people are at some point awarded whit Campaign ribbons for standing out in the eye¡¦s of the staffmembers
They stood out stood out ammong all the players.
Ofcourse these staffmembers or Observers do not have to be in the same faction to nominate a player.
It will be made clear soon that someone is making the enemy work better and he/she will standout.
You will not gain prestige.
Basicly its a thing to showoff to the others 
However gaining such an ribbon will include you in the Darkspace history and gives you a reputation.. depending on your play style it can be as the good natured hero or as the brutal war lord that won 
Ofcourse sometimes a fleet makes a radical move.
This is why ribbons should also be given to fleets.
Each member of the fleet would get a Campaign merrit.
It will not allow you to be included in the history by player name but will show that you were part of THAT fleet at that time.
If a player decides to leave the fleet the players Ribbons/merrits remain on them as a reminder of theyr preformance¡¦s
Naming.
Ofcourse these campaigns need to be named so that the ribbons/merrits can be named and given to players.
Example.
Campaign Ribbon/merrit
[*TS*]Axianda *XO* for oustanding services during the Pirate campaign of 02-02-2004
This name whit tag will remain the same even when you change your name/fleet.
It allows you to be identified as a person.
If you wish to change the name and thus identity you can either keep it or you have the abilety to remove your ribbon/merrit.
** remember once removed it will always be gone **
the history entry will remain however giving a certain Misterious hero effect
