Point of badges?

[Arturo Sanchez]

Not like anyone will look for them, nor can people really see them on you.

So... why collect them? Why even have badges as a thing?

[Lanliss]

I think it is because they serve as a milestone for the player earning them, a reminder that you have done something to earn a reward.

It's like eating cookies. Nobody can tell you had one (unless you had more than one) but it makes you feel good inside.

I have my CA badge so people know I'm a CA, my Swabbie badge ( <3 ) and my Notorious Bounty badge. I just like the colour scheme

I don't see them though.

I only know you have them by your lvl and your text chat colour. As for the bounty? Nothing to suggest that at all.

case in point. Badges themselves serve no purpose to inform anyone of these facts.

You are aware of the fact that you can have three badges displayed on your profile... for people to see... right?

Only recent ones amongst achieves.

but no one really bothers looking at them.

Its not like steam badges either where you can arrange what people see.

Are we playing the same game? You can customize what badges you have on your profile

You can pick which three to display on your profile.

I often check other peoples profiles, and know a lot of people check  mine.

Really surprised you didn't know this.

I want to answer this question by asking "What is the point of achievements?".

Very similar stuff.

What is the point of life? :O It's totally meaningless.

Achieves are a thing I work towards.

Badges are just thingies that comes with said achieves.

[Omniraptor]

the cool badges can't be gotten with achievements.

Perhaps we could one day have a place on the ships where the chosen badges of the captain show. Hang them on the plants or something. If you're not a captain, of course, there's still much surface on your top hat left unused for advertisement -- or badges.

I wanted it to be possible to have badges displayed on clan pages. But only specific ones that require actual clan achievements, and not just randomly slapping a expert engineer badge on a clan page - more in the sense of competitive event badges.
