What do we do with medals and starfleet merits?

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Is there anything we can do w/ starfleet merits and medals of bravery, distinction, etc?

(Sorry, I searched the forums, but didn't find anything. Got a lot of non-pertinent results, though.)

I heard someone on ds9 would take them, but I haven't found anyone.

Thanks

    To summarize it: you use them to buy items, bridge officers. etc, at Starbases.

    Are you sure? I haven't seen anywhere where you can turn in merit and medals. Yes, you can use the exploration badges, but nothing seems to require the medals.

    Merits can be used to buy (ordinary) BOffs and train BOff skills on SB 01. They're also required to rename ships (after the one free rename per ship) and can be used to buy respecs if you've run out of freebies granted with promotions and don't want to use the C-store.

    Medals (earned form PvP) can be exchanged for gear on K-7.

    I'm still trying to figure out where to get the medals. My limited PvP ventures offered me none. It could be I need to try the other, other PvP or something... ??

    pvp lets you buy stuff from certain vendors- shipyard and armory

    energy credits the same

    the medals are for exploration- the middle of sol station that has no name has vendors that take them

    where "egan" is at.

    Exploration yields badges. These can be traded for gear on SB 01 (shipyard 2nd level or station core).

    PvP yields medals. These are traded on K-7.

    Thanks, Gym. Finally went to K-7. They had a nice kit, but almost everything else was pretty worthless to me. The kit only cost 50 medals. Now, I have to figure out what to do with the remaining 2000 pvp medals I have. lol

    Thanks, again.

    Loci, you should be getting medals from every pvp fight. Sometimes it does bug on you and doesn't give you any credits or medals, but that's very rare.

    If all else fails, use the medals to buy high-value ship equipment (shields, deflectors, etc.) and then sell them to a vendor for credits. (Since most are bind-on-pickup, you can't put them on the exchange.)
