Another medal topic, I'm kinda fond of those things.
Anyway, CCP had a nice ingame event, where players had to capture the Kourmonen system. Afterwards the GM staff granted a medal, nice touch and all.
What I'd like to see is that CCP would make this granting of medals easier. So they have a system where they can set the automatic granting of medals through ingame events. For example, if that Caldari Titan in Luminaire finally gets destroyed, everyone that caused damage to it instantly gets a medal. A smaller medal can be granted to all that participate in capturing control bunkers. It can also be expanded to the new huge storyline missions which we'll get next year, and live events organized by GMs.
The next step would be to make these tools available to corps and alliances. So that directors can set conditions that grants medals. For kills, I'd say give it a menu with the following criteria: * Amount of kills required * Individual/Corp/Alliance the kill belonged to * Minimal ship class of kill
So that people can automatically get a medal if they destroy 50 enemy ships, and a different if they participate in bringing down an enemy titan, for example.
Please discuss. ---

As long as there's some fail safe so that corps that run out of cash can't give the medal. Along similar lines, I'd love to see a corp that sets low benchmarks for medals, and then promptly goes bankrupt from automatically handing them out.
No real potential for abuse as the corp tools would be use-at-own-risk, so +1.

While I don't see the use of medals in eve, especially since I can become CEO and give arbitrary medals to anyone for a relatively small amount of isk, don't you think programming all this is sorta...a waste of resources?
I mean, you're talking about alot of triggers to program. I see this ending up as EvE: Battlefield 12042.
Maybe a few, generic auto-medals (such as first kill, 1000th kill, titan kill, command ship kill, whatever)
but honestly, the amount of work involved would just be crazy, especially when there are much simpler things to fix which involve real problems.
Still, imaging that CCP has thousands of androids that require no sleep, food or water, constantly programming to implement every crazy idea we have, thumbs up ________________________________

It would be nicer if the automated handing of medals would be able to be reviewed by directors / CEO before granting them. First off this prevents the corp wallet being drained dry because a lot of triggers went off, and secondly you could tie a history list with some filters to have a corpwide overview of who got what and when.

This sounds like rewards based on counter-strike in space.
I'm not so sure. While it would decrease the work-load on people, I'm still not a big fan of it.
