Make leveling more rewarding

[Hoja Lateralus]

Firstly - I know you'll say stuff like "Levels aren't important" or "It's just a number" but I think that we (players) care about them. Let me explain it with an example:
Recently I reached lvl11 in engineering, a rather high one. I was a bit dissapointed that all I get is just a badge. Please, throw in just something. I'm not saying much, because we know that you're a small company and the amount of content you have doesn't allow you to give it away all the time. But.... something. Like a dye at least. Another idea - maybe give some new voices on the higher levels, the hoarse voice of an experienced sailor.... that would be something.
Also custom voices availible in the store.... think about it

Unlock all beards at lvl 10.
That will separate the boys from the men.

Yep, leveling has been certainly a point of discussion, and what can be done with it, no one is really satisfied with the way it is atm, players or devs afaik. I think the plan currently is for an overhaul once Skirmish mode pops up.

Give the women beards at level 11 as well.

Since I really like the idea of showing your status through your characters' appearance, that idea seems quite good. Maybe a hat would be more universal for that matter and it's used already; I don't remember at which level but first you unlock a small elegant hat and then you unlock a top hat (hence very smart and subtle requirement, not sure if planned, in Gentlemen clan - because everyone has to wear a top hat).
I would also love (but that's just a dream I guess) some "show-off" items unlocked by having certain lvl in all classes. Like, when you have lvl 5, 10 and 15 in all classes you unlock some cool item.

Firstly, I guess you mean Adventure Mode (or more soon - co-op mode). I think the Devs told on the last chat that they want leveling not to be decided from achievements but rather from statistics (like those shown at the progress tab, for pilot it's kill to death ratio etc.). But even though the way you gain level may change I think the rewards won't, that's why I'm tackling this issue.

You get costumes, hats, face goodies, dyes, paints, ship ornaments and that still isn't enough for you?

Wow...high maintenance player. Think you're playing the wrong game.

Recently all I get is badges

For a community that tries to present itself as accepting and inclusive, I see this a lot.

THIS!  YES PLEASE!!!!  I want a beard!  I can't grow one in real life; I should at least be able to stick one on my character in GoI!

I'd love to have breads in my life! Please implement immediately!

[sparklerfish]

I would also equip bread on my characters.  +1

need food slot to equip sandwiches.  After all that moonshine, you need something to sober up!

[Richard LeMoon]

That picture is insulting, really. We are asking for REWARDS here, not silliness. Leveling is important to people, and there should be bigger and better rewards at level 11, not silly little bits of bread and snickering insults.





I therefor propose baguettes after level 11.

I'm starting to wonder if people have missed why I put that picture up there
