A simply dead battery is too drastic, and not realistic (I assume there's a preflight checklist behind the scenes that would catch a dead battery, and you'd never get out of the station in the first place). What would be cool is if a bad battery had a 1 in something chance that a particular action that uses that battery would fail. You fire a gun, and nothing happens, or you turbo or are in the middle of turboing, and suddenly there's nothing for several seconds. Could be crucial in the middle of a battle.

Will a Leviathan Kill counter be added below the Queen one on the player info scrolling box? A lot of people are growing uncertain whether or not their kills are being recorded invisibly with the new system.

That's cool. So now it would be possible to say, award medals based on player-coordinated events?

/me is still trying to get tournament back off the ground

As for the ribbons, cool as they are, I think the graphic is a bit on the large side... it looks out of place as wide as it is.

good point Daggoth as we spoke last night i also saw that my 2 measley levi kills didnt record anywhere a counter like the queen kills would be nice
