once you hit lvl 20 in any licence you should get a badge

veteran pvp
veteran trader
veteran miner
veteran light weapons
veteran heavy weapons

if you get all 5 to 20

official VO Veteran badge

then official Vo veteran II for 21 veteran III for 22 etc

Should it solely be "license" progress-based, or should there be an account lifetime requirement as well? Like 5+ years since acct creation, and > X amount of Hours spent in game? In case there was some future system that made XP progress faster? (No such XP change is planned, I'm just considering possibilities).

i've been incarnate's favorite player since I started in 2011 and my highest level on my main is 15. I should not only get veteran badges, but guide privledge as well! :) 193 days spent online!

Wouldn't a badge for license levels which are already visible when another player opens up the info page be a little redundant?

PVP badge is there for rails and the bus hunter badge is there for the 107.

We already have an extremely redundant badge (badge king)... Veteran badge is just a badge for the sake of a badge...

Anywho If there's going to be a redundant veteran badge I figure the best metric to use would be number of jumps since that metric's shared across every single gameplay styles.

I figure you could come up with a better number than I can since you've got statistics over there but I'd say 10,000 jumps is a reasonable number.

Maybe badges based on time could be other time based words:
Elder Pilot
Ancient Pilot
Archaic
Derelict
Antique
etc

Don't we sort of already have this? In reference to the ever elusive A/B tester badges. A badge for account age in general would be neat as everyone would have a chance at that, though. 5 years maybe? then again at 10? dunno.

I think there should be some kind of hours in game requirement to stop exploitation
for example if you get lvl 20 in 2 weeks then obviously you have cheated
but some players are better and faster than others

who cheats? I think vo detects that.

I doubt exploitation would be an issue - at the height of my crippling space crack addiction I'd estimate I was online somewhere around ~8-10 hours a day. Cheating? no, not necessarily. No life? absolutely rofl
