So there aren't any manufacturing badges, and it seems to be the season for new badges. I know it's been suggested before, but not on any thread this year that I've seen. How about a badge for completing a Trident, and a badge for completing a Goliath? Something small to start off, given that the requirements for doing these things is subject to change. There are certainly achievements for doing things far easier than these tasks.

I like this idea. But to get the badge, the player should have to build the 200mw reactor on their own for the first capital ship. Back in the day, manuing the 200mw reactor was the only way to find the M7 station. A beacon was given. So i assume this flag might still exist in the game. If it does, make the the reactor mission as one of the requirements for a dent/goli badge.

What would be done for those of us who have already built a Trident or Goliath?

Some have built a Trident and a Goliath on same character. Some have built Tridents on multiple characters.

Most of the other badges are not retroactive.

NC-Crusader, if the flag still exists, its not quite retroactive as much as "Is this true? Then badge is given." Now, if the flag no longer exists, or testing for it is complex, then another option is that the badge can be given from the original manufacturing mission or from the insurance mission; you'd have to blow up your capital ship, but who cares? Its a cheap amount, and if you're gonna be THAT big of a butt about it, maybe just don't bother getting the badge?

Either way works fine.

+1 I agree with NC Crusader. Some players already have a trident or Goliath & They have been building for others for a long decade, I think there must be a badge for those - just like the unrats kill badge - there must be a way to find out who manufactured the most & Give them the badges they deserve.

+1 ima Manu player mainly I like this idea

+1 to NC/Darkportal

I also agree, there must be some form of way to check if got the mission complete, or as Luxen said: Just pop your goli/rebuild lol.

+1 to the manu badges. While I have never had any intention of building a capship, I recognize the work it takes. I think that deserves a badge, why not?

Yeah, just set the conditions for the badge as completing the mission for building the capship, OR the rebuild mission. Light on dev time.

+1

I agree, I think that there should be some kind of balance to reflect the other aspects of gameplay which seems to be be more biased towards the combat play.. Of course this is a vital part of VO. +1

+1 to many types of Manu badges.
Why stop at caphips? There is other manu stuff, Super lights, powercells, weapons like tu mines or widow makers, probably other stuff I am forgetting to.
For the smaller stuff some quantity like 25 0r 50 should trigger the badge.

+1, give manu people badges as well as mining/combat people

Ok, I think manu badges would be cool too
