Easy medals to work on, Faction Medals.
Come up with various medels specialized towards each faction, something like service medals for x ammount of time played on the faction.
Every faction has something it specializes in, find a way to give players who excell at said faction something to work for.

Don't get fancy - ie, don't say "4000 ai ships destroyed", since there's no profile category for AI kills. Don't go with "honorable fighter" because there's no way to measure honor.

Some of these are more 'achievements' then badges.

This isn't a thread about new things to track or new ways to reward players - those require game code changes, which I don't do. I was just looking for new things to display based on existing profile fields.
Doing more would be the realm of Achievements, a la Fattierob's ideas on DSCW... which is not something I'm able to do.

I dont think it would be so much a reward for fail, as a mark of shame. Like a dunce cap. And most of the positive stats are already represented. So there.

I think adding something involving the kill:death ratio should defenitly be implemented. It adds great value to a profile.

It's a thread about medals for stats that are currently tracked by the game. Kill/Death is tracked, and giving that ratio a medal encourages AI farming.

Heres my first swing...
Beginning with new additions:
Assault Honours. Platinum Combat + Platinum Bombing.
Marksman Award. 2000 Kills Registered.
 Elite Pilot (equal to or bette rthan 2:1 k/d ratio)
02:56:22 JBud: "make a better MVP image"
02:56:47 [-0-]Meko: "rofl yessir! on it!"
 Ethereal Covetor Award. Silver privateer + Platinum Transport
Continuing with 'retrofitting' of existing badges:From bronze to platinum.
The dilema of Supply and Transport having the same badge: Heres a supply badge retrofit.
~~My displeasure at the 'doesn't look anything like the other badge' syndrom lead from rage to these. Attempt #2 at support badges below ~~
The current privateer badge looks.... yes. Heres an alternative. Again bronze to platinum. (I'm assuming platinum will be 500)
~~ since the colour precident was broken with these, ive edited them again to conform, as seen by the middle collumn. Ive also made just the colour washed ones without the level banners in the right side collumn ~~
 -  - 
 -  - 
 -  - 
 -  - <-- the same.
When i think of more ideas, I'll conjure up some more
-and i have.
Commendations: theres the medals and badges section, well add another section please. Commendation sections such as these;
 1 year service
 3 years service
 5 years service
 Heroic Service Commendation (500 deaths)
another reason to add a new section would be simply, expanding the colour base. the badges and medals are limited in the colours because of precident, to add another section adds the notion of more colour selection as ive used inthe above 3 commendations.
-Meko
Edit: As I see the colours dont match existing badges, if someone could toss me the hex codes for the original badges i could colour match far easier =)
