Topic: Medals all around!

I was wondering if you guys are going to implement a ranking system (can mods do that?), and if you are, how you'r gunna go about it. Will you be able to do weapon unlocks (at a later release of course), and badges. As sad as it may be, the badges motivate alot of my play time. And I bet theres a bunch of cool opertunities in FS for some neat badges/trophies.
I think it would be cool (if all the above is possible in FS) to maybe have trophies in FS as well as badges. What I mean by trophies is the swag collected or looted after or during battles. Like perhaps when a player first kills a stormie (as one of the easiest trophies) he gets teh storm trooper helmet trophie. Or if the player ever kills a jedi charecter (assuming they're in the mod) they get a lightsaber trophie. Stuff like that. Maybe they're could be some items (pick up kits) hidden in tough places with trophies you can get. Like maybe a piece of Fett's armor stuck in the sarlacc, or a ewok spear on Endor. Just stuff like that.

Re: Medals all around!

It seems that the latest patch has screwed up the alternate ranking system, that was created.. So atm can´t give an answer to this. It would be a nice addition though.

Re: Medals all around!

Another ranking system (I forget the name) is used for mods such as Project Reality, with approval from DICE.  Perhaps FS could go about the same thing, contacting DICE and asking permission to use a ranking system.

Re: Medals all around!

Its called ABR and i suggest no ranking it will just force players to worry about stats and not play the game...

Re: Medals all around!

Well couldn't we still have medals with out a ranking system? I think someone suggested getting medals for preforming feats like surviving in an escape pod, or something like that.

Re: Medals all around!

^^^^I agree, make medals for those who are daring and perform great stunts that show skill.

Re: Medals all around!

Yea, medals would be pretty cool. Getting a medal is almost as good as that feeling you get when you get 1st place on the scoreboard, and everyone can see. Funnily enough, this reminds me of when my clanmates and I used to dominate the GC server's and all you would see was: "The Harlequins" on the top 3 scoreboard tongue
