[IDEA] Medals, trophies, achievements.

[Renso]

OK, now I know I may get some flak but OK...

Medals, Trophies:

Displayable rewards for pilots completing certain actions (like shlepping to Hutton in Alpha Centauri), killing a mass-murdering galaxy-wide criminal, missions with important system-wide importance, etc.
These could be displayed in a "Commander's Showcase" perhaps even in-game once we get a way to walk about in our ships.
Something others could see and appreciate to give us a sense of 'being there' and 'being real'.
Would give the game another layer of activity goals and things to do.
Would give pilots something to take home and be proud of to enhance the sense of achievement.
Would expand on the current three ranks we can obtain, filling in the cracks and giving us a scope of progress instead of just major milestones.
They could be faction, military, corporate and politically based. etc,.

** (added) And once we get to put on uniforms and walk about, we can pick to wear that all important medal we earned with blood and sweat.
** (added) The trophies could pass from one pilot to another, depending on 'who holds the title'.. So if someone is making the most money, killed the most Thargoids, traveled the farthest, etc. etc... They would be the holder of a particular trophy.
** (added) This would encourage team-play for particular honors. And PvP for certain medals based on kills, assists, etc. This would work for certain modes which Frontier would like to enhance participation in. *hint
~~ Thoughts?

Not a bad idea, but "I don't want this to be like Steam Achievements."
It would give us better feel of progression and achievement.

I can't stand these kill 50 of these things and some random shait popping on my screen every now and then for no apparent reason as is norm for modern games.
Sit yer ass in the cockpit pilot - ELITE MASTER PILOT ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED
Throttle up to 100% - FASTER THAN LIGHT ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED
etc. you know wha I mean.

But some faction based accolades for heroic deeds... I am all up for it.

Shinnies are always nice!

 

[Arktac13]

Ribbons from war, medals from achievements and then trophies for the highest of feats and we can place them on our cockpit dashboard! I love it, genius idea

 

[Mephane]

I prefer the game without achievements.

 

[Serpentis Ictis]

I think these should be for in game missions - rare and unique, like a real badge of honour.

Ie, Federal Mission to assassinate a really high level general of imperial navy, that takes a lot of hunting and has huge in game impact such as system falls, market crashes etc... you can only get the mission when certain characteristics are present, correct rank, correct faction loyalty, correct hostility, suitable ship for the role, and the system is at war...

That would be a medal earned..

 

[Julio Montega]

I am not an achiever by any means,
but it wouldn't hurt to have medals of an immersive sort, for participating in special conflicts
or brave deeds.
Not the steam stuff plz.

 

[jgm]

Only if you lose all of them when you die.

 

[Renso]

I made sure to include the 'not like steam' achievement option... I don't particularly like those either.
Also, wouldn't want the typical arcadey pop up "you have gotten xox medal" to interfere... but just passive rewards.
Perhaps galaxy wide announcements when a pilot does something particularly important that alters a system-wide change which affects global economy, such as leader assassinations etc.

F) idgaf either way

Yea, not this kind of "achievements", that would be terrible.

I agree... anything that remotely resembles an arcade style I'd frown upon vehemently.

We had similar things also in FFE. I could remember that I once received a medal for performing some dirty work for the feds. So yes why not. I personally dislike the achievement pop-ups like in Steam games. Perhaps these kind of achievements could be integrated in the player stats and/or reputation display.

During the Beta/s we used to have basic player stats... Those are gone now I wish we had at least that.

You used to get medals and awards for stuff in the last elite.

They are still there. Push left on reputation panel.

Yes, thanks. But not exactly the stats I'm referring to, such as hours played, human players killed and a few more missing things I can't remember right now.
