Player achievements

Player achievements are OOC accolades that can be earned by players for completing IC or OOC objectives and challenges.

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:

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

The rest of the information on this page is for the achievement system in use aboard USS Veritas, USS Montreal, USS Eagle, and USS Gorkon. For more information about the system used on USS Columbia, check out the Columbia Player Achievements page.

Achievement System Overview

Player achievements are OOC accolades awarded by the command staves of participating ships to their players. 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.

Achievement Categories

Player achievements are divided into four categories:

  • Tour of Duty Achievements
  • General Achievements
  • Duty Post Achievements
  • Character Interaction Achievements

Tour of Duty Achievements
