I made it to Hutton Orbital Reward

[Nitrogue]

Recently made the mistake of accepting a mission without checking the destination, saw it was going my way and took it. almost an hour and a half later flying in system, made it to Hutton Orbital and realised what an achievement that was.

Unfortunately there wasn't really anything there. Got the mug (literally) which I had to sell to make room for a mission, and the tourist beacon which I'm keeping, but aside from that there was nothing that warranted my time there.

So was wondering, could we get some reward for making it there. Maybe be a "I made it to Hutton Orbital" Badge for the ship, a mug bobblehead for the cockpit, or a steam achievement if we ever get those. Maybe keep it a secret so that it remains an exclusive club.

Could also be applied to other locations, say Sag A*, Colonia or Beagle Point?

Thoughts?

That's not a bad idea, considering that achievements are not part of the game (as of yet). Also, explorers like myself are a little frustrated with FD's focus completely on the combat mechanics of the game, adding achievements like that would definitely add some incentive for the rest of the exploration community. That could at least be a start of incorporating achievements into the game.

The achievements idea came from something I think ed lewis said during one of the beta streams. I believe he said that he couldn't wait to be one of the first to get the silver trophy (whatever that is) for getting achievements when elite comes to PS4. So it looks like PS4 will have achievements, I don't know about xbox.

Having Steam achievements wouldn't be accessible to PC players who went through Frontier to get the game. Hence the idea of badges and bobbleheads.

Also hoping that if this was implemented in some form that they are able to retroactive whats already been done. Id rather not have to spend an hour and a half going to hutton again, and that's nothing to those who have gone to beagle point.
