Had a quick try with the medal system.
Made a spangly medal with all the bits - cost to produce was 25mil. I then awarded this medal to myself (obviously) and this cost a further 1mil ISK.
edit - rather nicely this is messaged to you from your corp.

more useless features?
What purpose or function could this serve?
and issued by concord? What a joke. All concord does is **** on people parades. I'm best friends with concord. 5.02 standing and someone with -10 standing with them can bribe concord to wardec me.
Or pirates who want to kill someone... get killed by concord. All concord does is not cool. Now they come out with something that isnt utterly crap and it's worthless. HAHA

Well it allows players to fine tune their focus on a specific skill set (for certs) and allow corp CEO to review who has what skill sets (handy).
The medals are a bit of fluff sure - but morale wise you can now reward your corp pilots. Seeing as medals cost to make, and hand on to a player they have a intrinsic value I guess.
I quite like it.

Some "blank" certificates (elite starter professions, elite leadership, etc), a couple of certificates that make little or next to no sense, missing certificate levels... looks like there's a LOT of work still needed there.

I'm not too sure about the value of player created medals, etc. At their best I think they're just fluff though I can think of a few places where they'll be seriously considered & used - so that'll be good.
I do like the NPC (e.g. CONCORD) issued certificates. Again, fluff - but they add some nice, extra depth to the game which isn't a bad thing at all.
I also like the Hull Tanking example

Those medals will presumably appear in the decorations tab when given to members,
but I'm not a CEO or director so I can't test that
Needs to be a medal with an image of a wooden spoon for this type of decoration 
Also, I'm definitely going to make a "Womble" certificate if we can give them names(?) or a Womble Medal

Woha, the UI for managing and viewing certificates is horribly akward.
This will seriously confuse new players, it might even be misstaken for somekind of leveling/skill selecting system.
It even confused me a bit, and mostly it's just too much..
Some skillpackages where you don't have any of the skills shouldn't even be visible imo.
Seriously, the entire structure of it is just too much, and all these new names for each package.. I think this means EVEs learningcurve just went backwards a little bit.
There shouldn't be a different section for every level (basic, standard, improved, elite) instead, you should right-click on the basic and just select "level it up to standard/improved/elite". That would reduce the amount of categories and tabs by 500% :P

Does one of those images actually show a "decorations" tab on a character Show Info that lets you see their certs? Does that not imply you can deduce just from a show info pretty much what they fly and if they're any good or not? Bit much info for hostiles surely?

Don't know if it's been said already but just checked and so far on the test server it costs 25 mill to make a medal, and then 1 mill every time you hand one out to a member.
A member can receive the medal a number of times also.

You can select what decorations, if any, you wish to display.

Great idea, and yes still lots of work needs doing. It would help recruiters out a great deal when it's finally implemented and can be turned on and off, or just given access to ALLOWED characters/corps/alliances.
Of course hopefully you can chose which to reveal or hide. I mean what Miner out there wants everyone to know he can also fly stealth bombers and create cyno fields?

Epic fail im sorry to say.
As if EVE didnt had enough problems to deal with.
No... now CCP is wasting even more manpower on useless eyecandy like this.
Troll post.
You know that CCP is more then capable of working on and fixing lag as new technology and more manpower/money allows.
The problem is, CCP cant control your shitty internet connection, on your shitty computer, running on a terribly configured operating system. No matter how good CCP makes the servers, and reduces lag, if you don't know anything about computers, and think you just plug it in and go, you will lag. period.
TL;DR- Dont complain unless you understand what your talking about. Unless you have a formal education, or you work in IT, you don't know what your talking about.
If I can run eve lag free on a 2 year old computer, with internet that is in the lower 20th percentile of the United States for speed, then I am sure that if you have the know how and better circumstances you can achieve the same results. If you don't have the know how... learn.
Christ the people that ***** about lag constantly **** me off... 99% of them either don't know what they are talking about, or they are just completely ignorant. And don't ***** about node lag either. You keep adding people until it inevitably lags for some of you or a node crash happens. If you expect crap like that not to happen, don't kid yourself. Thats not CCP's fault.

Funny certificates are awesome....sadly hull tanking cert is basically the only funny one I saw.
The rest of the certs are fairly standard and I am guessing they are supposed to help new players train properly for their ships. Except I can see new players training useless skills like it wants you to train Multitasking as part of Core Competency skills. But no one trains multitasking, dumb skill. Ditto for controlled bursts, the certs want me to train it to level 3, but I am minmatar. That is stupid for me to train. So instead of being Turret control Elite 5/5, I am turret control basic 1/5 solely because of controlled bursts.
So certs are pretty much useless fluff. My suggestion: Make all the certs into funny jokes. Maybe give people a small LP award for certs? Sekret rifter with 8 lows?
I'm not a CEO so I cannot test the custom medals system but it sounds pretty fun.
Useless fluff all the same, but hey it is the INDUSTRIAL EXPANSION, so if you don't like it, feel free to blow up every miner and manufacturing POS out there.

They don't mess with game "balance" (Sorry, cannot say that with straight face) .. they are just for "fluff" or "reputation-grind" and the biggest role is ISK-sink.

The decorations are fluff, true
The certificates are definitely helpful for new players - they not only provide a decent training path for new players right out of the tutorial, they offer recommendations on skills required for basic ship operation, basic tips on module and skill usage, training paths to specialize in certain module operations, blah dee blah.
And, really, they might've taken some work to put in, but I'm betting it was no more than the advanced tutorials and mission lines added for new players.

Unless it ramps up with each additional medal, I'm not really worried - 25m is chump change. And even if it does, it's a fluff thing anyhow, so who cares?

must all games have achievements now? XBOX LIVE! WHAT HAVE YOU STARTED!
but anyway, this could be *really* good for corps and alliances.
and... the diplomatic incident? .. 'successfully killed the CEO of a friendly corporation."
successfully killed? how can you unsuccessfully kill someone? either they're dead and you succeeded, or they're alive and you failed. it's binary.
