I have done a really quick search about medals or awards and i have not seen anything.
Is an award system aa possible feature that could be implemented, not now but maybe later? i had posted a similar idea in another forum forgot which, you know some to say this unit this something amazing, or whatnot.
ahhhhh found it
here is the idea
would it be better if instead of making them separate you simply add a marker like they you in the military
5 Kills = first award = Ribbon
10 Kills = second award = bronze star on ribbon
20 kills = 3rd award = 2nd bronze start on ribbon
it coudl be made that every 20 kills you get a bronze start up to 3 in a ribbon once that is reach the next award will be a silver start so
at 80 Kills = silver start
then like at 250 kills = a gold start and you could get like 3 gold stars
it was posted in the Xenonauts forums it is a huge thread, anyway just an idea if no one else has brought it up
