FDEV: Random thought and idea, with the invent of Commander Creator I pose to you this suggestion. Glamor items given freely but earned.
Here is what I mean, Like Steam has achievements I think it would be a fun little extra to add Service Ribbons, Military Rank ribbons, Community Goal Ribbons, Captain Ranks ribbons(trade, combat, exploration, CQC)
Here is how I in vision it working... Player earns Elite Rank, now on top of getting the ship decal he/she earns a new customization in Commander Creator under Suit Ribbons/Awards A small colored ribbon with a specific marking for that elite rank centered. They could earn Ribbons for competing in CG's I.E completed one, a Top 80 60 50 30 20 10 and 5% ribbons where only one will be able to be put on the uniform at a time for CG ribbons but it would possibly make more people strive to get that top 5% to show it off in the future.
Same With elite ranks, 1 of each but have all the other ranks have a ribbon with it also.
Military ranks, 1 of each imperial and Federal.
So that right there is potentially up to 3 ribbons on your suit starting out, Now add main plot missions, 1 billion credits(1 million 25, 50, 75 as smaller ribbons) Mining income ribbons(up to 50million) Trading ribbons separate from rank. bounty hunting ribbons ect ect, you get my point.
will this be useful right now? NO, but when you eventually add walking around and ship internal space with multicrew it could be a nice role play aspect not to mention bragging rights if you had the top ribbon for every category on your uniform like an old veteran who has seen it all.
