Medals

Medals are temporary accolades or achievements that are earned at the end of a match and show up on the post-match scoreboard screen. These medals give you added experience (XP) when earned. Currently, there is no in-game tracking element to how many of these you may have earned and have no show-off value unless you make screenshots yourself. Some of these medals, however, will help denote factors for questing.

For example, the quest "Close Quarters" requires you to sink 3 enemy ships via boarding. The medal "Marauder" requires you to sink 3 enemy ships via boarding in a single match. This medal is a secondary confirmation that you have completed that quest if you have missed the quest completion audio queue in the game. This is also helpful because the in-match quest tracking system is bugged and does not always show correct information.

List of Medals
Medals are listed in alphabetical order. Some medals are easier to obtain than others and some of them have overlapping elements (such as "Lancer" and "Maelevolent"). Other medals do not overlap due to their tiered nature. For example, you cannot have both "Greedy I" and "Greedy II". If you have reached the next tier of medal, you have essentially upgraded that medal. These medals can only be upgraded twice (having 3 tiers altogether).
