I would very much like a physical in-game representation of "minor" achievements, similar to what inara.cz does on its Cmdr profile pages. I suspect Frontier would be able to devise lots of interesting achievements with relatively little effort, since they already seem to track a lot of metrics (just look at the in-game Codex > Commander > Stats view to get an idea).
These achievements could be manifested as medals, ribbons and insignia and could presumably be implemented similar to how existing suit decals work, in a layer superimposed on the suit.
I feel strongly that the achievements should be rewarded based solely on gameplay, but it could make sense to limit each suit to e.g. 3 medal and 3 ribbon slots, with the ability to unlock more slots via ARX purchase to display more achievements concurrently. Or maybe even add different style options for medals, available as ARX purchase.
Maybe my assessment is naïve, but it sounds like something a programmer and a graphic designer pair should be able to knock out in a day or two. Only question is how many players would be interested in this.
I am.
