1 badge per npc kill. can buy weapons and artifacts that ONLY affect npcs. say 500 for the weapon module, 100 for a shockpulse charger, 300 for contact coordinates, 500 for mercinary contract (same as contact coordinates but summons an elite or boss ship instead of a rare), 1000 for Gladiatorial Summons (summons a random enemy of a new faction of NPCs only made up of rares and extremely rares restricted to this contract.)

These are just some ideas ive had. These NPCs would not disappear after a set time and are meant to be extremely difficult (considering it costs 1000 npcs to summon ONE of these), and the rewards are meant to be equally epic. Summoned NPCs would appear in the 'boss tab' so that they will not take up space in the NPC battle slot.

I like this. an NPC version of the badges would give a reason for killing commons.

i know theyre supposed to be primarily for PvP, but adding this would give a little extra fun to NPC hunting. especially after i get all the modules from PvP that i can get.

I agree, NPC need badges. Infact i was thinking about it just now...

I really think we SHOULD have NPC badges. This faction is pretty cool, and I invented the space Kraken. (Just saying) I would like to see this faction, after all most of the new factions are never seen on the battle tab.

sorry Fralo, i knew a saw the space kraken somewhere, but i think the reason i thought it was Zophahs was because it was in his space monster summary thread. i'll change it really quick.

I like the general idea.
