There is an ability to award a medal to a member of your corporation, as everybody know. These medals can only be visible by other pilots, if a pilot opens Show Info screen of some another pilot and goes to Decorations tab (in case of the person set public permissions to observe his medals).

After Incarna we have all those dresses, monocles, captain quarters, 3d model of the character walking around, new avatars, etc.

Why isn't there an ability to show your well-deserved rewards to other people on your avatar or on your uniform, when the captains quaters mode is on (3d model)?

That's very simple idea: to have an ability to put one or several medals (which you were awarded by) on the chest of your 3d character model in the "Character Recustomization" screen.

You can put a new shirt on, why can't you fasten a new medal to your jacket and make a new photo with it?

Technically, I'm sure, that this is very simple to implement, cuz they can use the same texures of the medals as are used when we look at Decorations tab and click on medal's Info link.

This is pure optional design stuff. Those who don't like medals or don't care won't be bothered at all.

The topic is refered to this, but the idea is not excatly the same.

Oh lovely....now we will have chars walking around with a crapton of medals just because they can and what not.
Making them less meaningful. Medals don't mean much as it is....we don't need more clutter.

Pass.

Not supporting.

Of course, there should be strict limitation of medals number! Let's say 10 medals, or even 5 would be enough.

Just so long as we can choose which medals we display (I say as if I had enough to need to choose). Not that they'd be visible in most portraits.

lol...I support this idea. I think CCP should make achievements with medals you get for them to use on your avatar instead of the player created ones from your corp.

Yeah yeah...achievements suck...whatever. I wouldnt mind having a system that tracked my kills and accomplishments through an award system. 1 million PvP kills...yay!

OK, so ask your CEO to make those kind of "achievement" medals...

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Not the same since everybody else in EvE isn't held to the same standard.

Um, how about we quit worrying about bullshit stuff that doesn't affect gameplay and actually focus on the game here? Devs don't need to work on stupid **** like medals... We shouldn't have captain's quarters in the first place, but it's too late for that. Let's not waste any more effort on that **** though!

Do you think that would take too much effort? I doubt. However, as the idea of interacting in stations wasn't rejected by CCP (I mean the usage of 3d character models to interact while docked on same station), medals change would increase the fun from it, if it will have been implemented some time.

I would've put it a little more tactfully but I agree with the sentiment.

Just imagined, how I would break into Guristas Stations bar with a pack of golden medals on my jacket and a bottle of Rum in my hand and take surrounding chicks attention Blink

When will CCP implement stations walking, pocker games and drunken brawls in a bar?

Anyway, I'm supporting the idea.
