At the moment, I have a single example commendation I've added for completing the main free worlds storyline, but I added a bunch of images of medals (which are from a freely available source, http://www.fatcow.com/free-icons) which others can use for other commendations they think of.\r\n\r\nI wanted the commendations to not overwhelm the info screen, but still stand out, so they are colorful but small. Here is what the pilot info screen looks like after winning a commendation for completing the main storyline:\r\n\r\n![image](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/4998058/11537599/c1382f98-98eb-11e5-96eb-b7b48049d533.png)\r\n\r\nThis can be viewed as a sort of in-game achievement system (as I suggested here: https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky/issues/301), but the idea is that commendations are actually awarded to your pilot during the storyline; they are physical objects that you acquire."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/endless-sky/endless-sky/issues/comments/161403419","html_url":"https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky/pull/350#issuecomment-161403419","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/endless-sky/endless-sky/issues/350","id":161403419,"user":{"login":"guillochon","id":4998058,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4998058?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/guillochon","html_url":"https://github.com/guillochon","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/guillochon/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/guillochon/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/guillochon/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/guillochon/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/guillochon/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/guillochon/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/guillochon/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/guillochon/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/guillochon/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-12-02T19:17:51Z","updated_at":"2015-12-02T19:17:51Z","body":"The idea was really not to make this an \"achievement\" system per-se, but just to give some additional flare when milestones in the story are achieved. For instance at the end of the free worlds storyline it actually tells you that you will receive a commendation, but then there's no visual indication that you've been awarded anything!\r\n\r\nI changed the name to be equal to the commendation name, that at least removes the hard-coded aspect. I kept the other medal icons in the folder for others to use, if they so desire."}}
