How to get Badges

Blue Badges are awarded for successfully hacking enemy player ships. A badge is NOT awarded for hacking ships of much lower rank (less than 40% of your rank), or hacking the same ship again within 12 hours of the previous successful hack.
Yellow Badges are awarded for raiding enemy player ships. A badge is NOT awarded for raiding ships of much lower rank (less than 40% of your rank), or raiding the same ship again within 12 hours of the previous raid.
Green Badges are awarded for invading enemy planets. There are no rank or time restrictions - each successful invasion will reward a green badge.
Dark Badges are awarded for disabling certain non-player enemy ships.(Stryll Assassin)
Can Badges be traded? Unlike other special materials, Combat Badges cannot be traded.
Many players stick to an etiquette of badging, but this is by no means compulsory.
