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.
