Player achievements are OOC accolades awarded by the command staves of participating ships to their players for completing IC or OOC objectives and challenges. They are also used to track progress towards promotion.

Achievements are self-reported by players themselves to their respective command staff. If a player believes they have earned an achievement, they should notify their command staff by email and include the link to the supporting sim or documentation. Player achievements are tracked on a spreadsheet/leaderboard so that players can keep track of achievements they have earned.

History and Implementation

First developed and introduced for the USS Invicta by Rich (Roshanara Rahman) and Deliera (Tristam Core) in 2016, the original player achievement system has been implemented by the following ships:

• Amity Outpost (ship currently active)
• USS Chin'toka (ship currently active)
• USS Gorkon (ship currently active)
• Denali Station (ship currently active)
• USS Oumuamua (ship currently active)
• USS Arrow (ship currently active)
• USS Atlantis
• USS Astraeus
• USS Eagle
• USS Invicta
• USS Resolution
• USS Veritas
• USS Thor

In addition, the following two ships have developed their own set of player achievements:

• USS Columbia - Columbia Player Achievements
• USS Constitution-B - Constitution Player Achievements (ship currently active)

The rest of the information on this page is for the achievement system in use aboard USS Veritas, USS Juneau, USS Gorkon, and USS Oumuamua. For more information about the system used on USS Constitution-B, check out the Constitution Player Achievements page.

Player achievements are divided into four categories. Click on a category to see all the achievements in that category:

• Tour of Duty Achievements
  • These achievements are required before advancement to the next rank.
• General Achievements
  • These achievements are optional and are not required for promotion. They are given for IC and OOC challenges not specific to a particular duty post or character interaction.
• Mission and Location Achievements
  • These achievements are optional and are not required for promotion. They are given for IC and OOC challenges specific to a mission or location dependent on ship operating area.
• Duty Post Achievements
  • These achievements are optional and are not required for promotion. They are given for players that utilize qualities of a particular duty post.
• Character Interaction Achievements
  • These achievements are optional and are not required for promotion. They are awarded for interactions with specific characters and created by those characters' writers. Once you have reached the rank of lieutenant JG, you can create your own achievements that other players can earn from your character and submit them to the command crew to be added here.

Displaying Achievements

Each player achievement is awarded with an icon. They can be displayed wherever the player would like, such as on his/her user page, character’s bio, or forum signature. All icons are made by Freepik from www.flaticon.com.

To easily display a player achievement on the wiki, use the PA template by simply writing: {{PA|Name of the Achievement}}

For instance,

{{PA|Avast ye}}

creates:

Avast ye

And you can list them in a row or in a table:

{|
|{{PA|On the road again}}
|{{PA|Five suns}}
|{{PA|Avast ye}}
|}

On the road again

Five suns

Avast ye

Optional SIM link

You can also add the link to the SIM in which you earned that achievement by adding SIM=URL of the sim. For instance:

{{PA|Isn't she lovely?|SIM=http://sims.starbase118.net/posts/1996080}}

Isn't she lovely?

Displaying achievements

Player achievements can be displayed on your character's sidebar, just like awards, service ribbons, and badges, using Template:Achievements Rack.
