Unofficial Achievements List

I just remembered one of the last Lave Radio broadcasts where someone of the cast spoke about that he actually likes achievements in games if they bring you to do things you don't normally do.
So I had the idea to start a list of funny/crazy/stupid or just interesting things to do, you wouldn't do otherwise.
I think of things like this:

Combat
- Battle Cow
Kill an Anaconda ranked Master or above in a T9.
[Maybe the rank needs adjusting, haven't done much combat since 1.3]

Trading
- Hail the Emperor
Bring at least one tonne of every rate commodity to Achenar in an Imperial Clipper.

Exploring
- We don't come in peace
Find an undiscovered Earth-Like in a Federal Dropship.

Other
- Coming home in style
Go to [your starting system] in an Orca and drop some tonnes of platinum for new players.

I'll add new achievements when I find the time and do some formatting when I'm back home at my PC.

Things I don't want in the list:
Grind goals (kill 100 enemies in ship x)
Unclear targets (be the best pilot ever)
Things you'll probably do anyway (reach rank x)
Things that are unreachable for the majority of players (kill an Elite Anaconda with a mining laser in a Sidewinder)

The forum has THE worst search function in existence. It'd be easier to print it all out and hunt through the stacks of paper.

On the main topic, the idea of achievements pushing gameplay past a player's familiar gaming bounds has some merit. It's easy to dismiss them, usually because they're SO LAME in so many games, that they need to be done with some real attention paid. I can't stand "achievements" like POWERUP - YOU TURNED ON THE GAME! A set of them designed to give someone a tour of sorts of the available gameplay elements, and cool things like the Battle Cow experience, would be a positive.

I had some time to look over the other thread and realized it's quite different. I never intended to suggest anything that actually get's implemented in-game. It's more about things to do you wouldn't normally do in the game and that bring some variety to playing the game.
I couldn't care less about actual in-game archievements, I just used the term in lack of a better word.
