True Adamance, great point about the character cards.

I am sure a lot of this in in the works, way in the background where we can't see it yet, but it is there. Yet, as my experience in RL and Eve have proven; giving short and long term goals with tangible results (like achievements and rewards like unique badges, ribbons, etc.,) is a very quick way to motivate people immediately.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply and great input.

Kind regards,

- Nasty

Nomex Gallatin OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 35	Posted - 2013.09.17 14:27:00 - [1] - Quote I would very much like the ability to create medals and ribbons for those fighters and warriors in my corporation that go "above and beyond." For as Napoleon said "A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon." This would allow corporations to not only financially reward those who are above average players, but also give a fine fighter a more permanent proof of his performance. I would suggest that the price tag for both creating them and giving them out remains quite high, as doing so will ensure that they are not handed out like candy, thereby cheapening the value.

lysander tdm OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 4	Posted - 2013.09.18 03:10:00 - [6] - Quote As a leader within my corporation, I see a great deal of value in this idea. Why my recruits and trainees perform above an beyond the call of duty, it would be nice to reward them with something that shows that OSG sees the value in their members.

This I would love. I have already earnt one from PIE Inc high command for my service during the Defence of Arzad. Medal of ST Agelioth here I come. I have mentioned this before to CCP.

Kristoff Atruin Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 1042	Posted - 2013.09.18 04:04:00 - [9] - Quote I created a medal for one of my guys a couple weeks ago on the eve side after he generated some hilarious tears for us. Sadly, I wasn't able to actually award the medal to a dust character. Since it's part of eve it's something I'm sure we'll get eventually. The UI for fluff like that though is probably a much lower priority than most other things though. I'm not 100% sure, but I think in the past it was actually possible to award a medal to a dust character from the eve client. It wouldn't show up in dust of course, but the medal would be there for some point in the future when a screen was made for it.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply and great input. Kind regards, - Nasty Its a very handy tool in EVE too. If I see a short range WT pop up I check his card before skiddadling out of there, unless he is a newer pilot than me, in which case I try to crush him. In Dust this would be a very useful and immersive tool.

"Cannon Fodder" that's only bad if you aren't trainable... but we can probably make a ribbon for that "achievement" though.

Kurgan Wess Algintal Core Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2013.10.04 16:24:00 - [16] - Quote Maybe CCP can also add ribbons for the faction warfare side of the game. For Example: Tribal Defense Ribbon Awarded for, (X) number of battles fighting for the Minmatar And it could go deeper than that because in the real life military if you are awarded a medal or ribbon multiple times, a star is added to show it. The same thing could be added to these where as you accumulate multiple awards of the same ribbon. As the stars accumulate they could change, as they do in real life, from bronze to silver to gold and these can be show on the ribbon itself when you view it. Example: Four bronze stars = one silver star Five silver stars = one gold star Five gold stars = one bronze star with laurels (or something like that) And so on until you get to the final award of, as following the example above, gold star with laurels. At this point you have maxed out the number of stars you can on the ribbon itself but by this time you should also be at maximum standing with the faction anyway. This could also mean to earn the ribbon in the first place you would have to be in neutral or positive standings with the faction to begin with. So if i earn the maximum award for the Minmatar then logically i should be in the negative with the Amar Empire and have to claw my way up to start getting my awards. So why have them? What could the reward be for grinding out so many battles for a digital award? Well that depends on the person, some like me just like having them to show off to my friends, while others want something in game like gear or SP. I would leave the decision up to CCP, but some kind of award is needed for the level of dedication it would take to get all the way to the top. We could also have ribbon awards for weapons, but that is maybe treading to close to what Battlefield does for its player rewards.

No limits on medals and ribbons, they just need to cost enough ISK as to make them too expensive to issue for anything other than worthy achievements.
