Bounty hunter badges for career bounty collected and highest single bounty collected.

Bounty hunter badges would be nice, but theres no bounty system nomore :P
a badge for the most lines or words on 100, updated every hour or day, some short period of time like that.
Woah, too many badges.
If we had even half these ideas, badges would mean so much less. Furthermore, it would get too cluttered in the window.
Right now, badges are stackable, and this is great because it reduces clutter and makes you want to work for higher rankings. We need some more ideas for badges that can be stackable, not just "get a new badge for this or that." Badges are worthless if they're temporary.
Here are some Deneb Run badge ideas:
1. I recommend using a badge with wings (like the Delta Airlines badge).
2. First place is gold wings, second place silver wings, third place bronze wings.
3. Stackable: after 1 win, 10 wins, 50 wins, and so on. "DR" would be in the middle, between the wings.
OR
3. A number between the wings designating the number of times won. So if I had won 3rd place 5 times and 1st place 10 times, i would have a bronze badge with the number 5 in the middle and a gold badge with the number 10 in the middle.

The ribbons are (in pixels) 96x32. The medals are 128x128.
Assuming the medals were put into the old pre-ribbon charinfo box at a resolution of about 96x96, each medal would be replaceable by three ribbons without taking up new space. Keeping in mind that there were only 12 badges ingame before the ribbons were put in, that's space for 36 ribbons. I think there's plenty of space without clutter.
Also, if you look at your average fairly-decorated military general/admiral/etc., they have a good number more than 36 ribbons on their uniform.
As far as Deneb Run ribbons/badges are concerned, those aren't "short term" or "low-hanging fruit" ribbons/badges. There isn't an ingame event flag that can be tripped for the Deneb Run, much less finishing the race itself. This pretty much goes for any other player-run event--because the event is organized and run by players, there's no way for the VO client or server to know that requirements have been met for a given ribbon/badge/etc. without manual database manipulation by the devs on a regular basis. See Incarnate's point earlier in the thread:
"Stuff like the Deneb Run, which has no actual triggers in the game at present, is more problematic."
They'd be nice but don't hold your breath on them being ingame anytime before 2.0 comes out.
As for what I'd like to see... some more ore-based ribbons. We have Helio, Denic and Pentric ore ribbons already, but there are other rare ores out there--Apicene, Lanthanic, Pyronic... Xithricite also should have a ribbon with it as it is supposed to be the backbone of most ships' armor technology.

i was thinking perhaps guilds should have badges too, while we're pushing the subject.
a commander, lieutenant and council badges.
a commander, lieutenant and council badges.
who? me?: Yes, he did, but that mission has to be started by momerath himself, and he never finished it--I helped test it but to my knowledge it was never finished. Even if it were finished, it ran on the Deliverator stuff, and so it is probably nonfunctional now.
"we don't need no stinking badges"
no, we dont need them. but since that's the bulk of visible features we get, might as well have fun with it and have an ego trip (well, for those that have positions in guild).
disclaimer: i'm not even in a guild so dont label me a power hungry.

Are the devs accepting image suggestions for the badges?
"Trained Professional". Given after someone completes the training missions. I think this badge should be part of the PK badge tree, so once you get the first PK badge (25pk's) it replaces the "Trained Professional" badge (if you had it).
The reason I would like this is to know that the n00b I'm mentoring has at least done his training missions ;) If someone has over 25pk's and didn't do the training missions they probably don't need them ;)

great idea, drazed. it would be the basic flight test badge, i presume.
I agree there should be a Deneb Run badge,
but you must have at least 10 Deneb Run wins to earn it ;-)
(Or Bronze, Silver and Gold versions, stackable)
Also I agree there should be a CTC badge as suggested earlier.
i) we have the in-game recording of CTC deliveries and kills
ii) CTC has too few participants, especially serco, an incentive would be good
iii) if CTC is retired in the medium-term, it would be nice for players who've been around a while and earnt their CTC fame to have a memento / badge.

Deneb Run is player run. Hard for the server to keep track of. Plus I'd be pissed if they made a badge I can now not have :(
Ooh, a PvP badge for Itani/Serco that used the number of Serco/Itani kills. Best of all, the different ranks would be required for different ranks of the Nation Specific ships, or weaponry, or something.
