Suggestion: Medals, Ribbons Display instead of Achievement Points

Situation:
Right now a rudimentary point system exists for "achievements." Developers have hinted at something more substantial but there's no indication of when or what that is.

Mission:
To create a detailed series of ribbons and medals analogous to modern military ribbons and medals.

Execution:
Star Trek already has this as part of canon. Kirk work medals and ribbons during various episodes.

Ribbons and medals are a quick visual reference as to where personnel have been, what they've accomplished, and how well they've done:
  • Each "season" or sector patrol series: Campaign Ribbon
  • Global tracking of PvP and Fleet Action scores: Federation Achievement Medal.
  • Singlehandedly completing a Pvp/Fleet Action Objective or Aiding the Most Players: "V" device on Campaign Ribbon.
  • Complete X Humanitarian Aid Missions: Humanitarian Ribbon.
  • Etc.

Here's a partial list of US Service Ribbons (Medals not displayed):

    Yes please, and make it so that players can award them to eachother as well just like in EVE:

    This is a good idea in addition to maybe adding in more non-combat features, I am really sick of annihilating whole cultures at a time, war or no war this is so not the star trek way.

    EVE does have a robust medals system - it's a shame I've never gotten past the controls and UI problems I had.

    I'm really hoping for some more non-combat options too: check my item modification (instead of Memory Alpha) thread in the Ultimate Suggestion Thread:

    i would also like to see a dress uniform to display those medals on, so that everyone knows what a huge hero (geek) you are. more costume options please, and give me a medal.

    its these kind of ideas that make me like the game even more, although we dont have alot to do/play with atm the scope is so vast :o

    A dress uniform with medals and ribbons on normal uniform, tie it in with acollades. each acollade = a ribbon/medal, super idea.

    Don't hang your laurels yet - we need Devs to see this! :)

    I'm just reminded of my the partially started second bar on my Dress Blues in real life.
