THE WALL OF HONOR
We have, for many years, given military-style awards to staffers, playtesters, and others who did something to support the game systems and the company. We have grouped all of the awards we have issued onto the WALL OF HONOR at this web page:

We have done this for many reasons. First and foremost, to thank those who have supported us for many years. Game companies are small things, and only survive by the hard work of many volunteers, who give up their free time to make your free time more enjoyable.
Second, we want to encourage more people to support us by various means: playtesting, rules development discussions, submitting new ships and scenarios, writing fiction, conducting demos in their local game stores, playing our games and running events for our games at conventions, defending the forum from spambots, and helping to alert us to copyright violators.
Third, we want to encourage those who have earned ribbons to broaden their horizons and earn as many different kinds of awards (and colors of campaign ribbons) as possible. Every product line has its own color: dark blue for Federation Commander, light blue for Star Fleet Battles, red for Federation & Empire, steel for Starmada, green for Captain's Log, gold for Prime Directive, and many others. "Coolness" is defined not just by lots of ribbons, but by lots of kinds of ribbons, and the better ribbons (with a diamond, cross, or star in the middle).
There are many kinds of awards: medals of various types, honor bars (for conventions, demonstration games, and so forth), campaign ribbons, and other things. You should seek out chances to earn as many different kinds of awards as possible. Over time, you can work your way up from the pages with a dozen or more players to you own individual page in the HONORED INDIVIDUALS section. That's where we go to fill openings for staff officers, who have the best chance to earn the best awards.
