Achievement and uniform idea.

My idea for an achievement reward system: Fruit salad on your uniform. IE mission/campaign ribbons on a formal dress uniform option or in-game profile. This could go hand in hand with extra hard mode missions.

A good example would be to get a ribbon for doing Briar Patch on a difficulty similar, perhaps a little harder than the beta version which had many of us ripping our hair out over. Other things could include a ribbon or medal for being in the beta, successfully completing 50 patrols, completing all crafting requirements, consecutive engagements in one DSE instance, best "where is Sulu?" reply in zone chat, etc etc. Or just completing "hard mode" missions or soloing some things that should take more than one ship or PC to do.

The on-uniform graphic wouldn't even need to be that complicated. Perhaps different catagories per how many ribbons/medals you have. On inspection it could display the full listing, with a cursor hover over option to tell what each one means. Qualifying for a dress uni or an achievement uniform add-on could be a mission in it of itself.

Note: I haven't done too much on the Klingon side but I imagine there's plenty they would want to display on their belts, sashes, and/or armor.

    I like this idea. In the Navy we called medals 'chest candy'.

    Though I don't know if I like the idea of having them show on the uniforms. Perhaps a viewable medal case in your captain's quarters (if that ever exists). I'm reminded of the X-Wing series. You could view your medals between missions.

    Perhaps there could be an option when you right click on another player character to view there medals/achievements.

    They used to be in Beta...

    I'm hoping they come back, actually. I liked them.

    If you mean Accolades, those are coming back.

    As for fruit salad... it's kinda meaningless when everyone does all the same missions, no? Maybe when there are multiple paths to level up, it'd be more interesting.

    I like it also, with somewhere in your bio the achievements. Or something so people can see what each one is for. And each could have that wording that comes with metals about some aspect of character choices that led to the medal.

    Yes, this is something I would really like to see in this game. It would be cool at the character loading screen to see my guy in his uniform proudly displaying his "fruit salad" a'la Star Trek VI.

    I like this idea as well.

    achievements are a great way to mix up the play content, and kill any boredom or burn-out that may happen after grinding tooooo looong.....

    lol.
