I am looking for snappy names and ideas for medals and commendations to be given out to Junkers and non-Junkers, members and non-members alike of the Junker Congress. Below is a sample idea and if you are struck with inspiration, I'll determine the benefits/rewards for the commendation but am looking for worthy ideas. Commendations will be given to those who post an item that is selected. Look forward to hearing replies. Be creative. The best will be chosen. Keep enemies, Junker and faction objectives in mind. Below is a sample. Please respond here with the following:
1) Medal/Commendation/Award Name.
2) Reason medal/commendation/award is given.
Quote:Junker Congress Commendation Awards
Getting commendations from the Junker Congress provides extra voting leverage when applied towards specific votes. Generally, each medal/award provides an extra vote though this will be tinkered with for awhile to reach a good balance. Some medals are available to Junkers and non-Junkers alike, some only to members and still others only to Guardsmen. They are awarded for missions, rescues, assistance, alliances and a variety of other things which will be listed on the website. These provide an incentive for new recruits to "get active" and for non-members to interact with us.
Station Defense Medal
(one is available for each non-Puerto Rican Junker station, depot or base)
They may be awarded by the adjudicator of the base involved or by decree of the Chief and/or Deputy Arbiters. SDM's are awarded to pilots who show exceptional skill and valor in rendering assistance to Junker stations under attack by hostiles. Assistance can be in the form of stopping capital ships or bombers assaulting base defenses or patrols or coming to the aid of Junker pilots in trouble on particularly dangerous missions. Votes accrued through receiving an SDM are limited to one per station.
How about one for helping to undermine the Xenos and thus increase Junker business? Something related to capturing Xenos as a team. The same could go for Wilds.
Is this supposed to be a less common thing? Because otherwise, what about just visiting all Junker bases. The reward is full Congressional membership, as opposed to, say, some kind of Associate Membership?

I'll work on thinking of some non-bad ideas now.
I wuz hopin' others a do ta tinkin fer me...:crazy:
Ok...here are some areas I know we will have commendations for--I'd like people to impress me with their creative intellects and whip out awesome completed concepts--haha.
Guards Commision Badge (becoming green with Junker guards)
Puerto Rico Service Award (fully mapping and docking Puerto Rico System)
Station Tour Ribbon (docking all Junker stations

Hogosha Conflict Medal
Xeno Conflict Medal
I'm half asleep but these are some of the things I mean. looking for other people's bright idears.
The awards are actually VOTES in session of the Junker Congress. Say you want to be appointed as a director of a secret project and be given a cruiser or made "Director of Trade" and be given a Pirate train--you tally up all your service points and get that many votes to cast yourself.
