I would like to suggest to Dan that the badge rewards be cumulative. What I mean by that is that when he introduces upgrades to modules like the Dominion Cannon or the Decryption Quad-Frame that he require the player to have already purchased the basic one. So instead of giving us the Dominion Cannon Mrk II, he could make a "Dominion Cannon Upgrade" available for, say, 80 red badges.

I mention this because I get the sense that a lot of players, myself included, are unsure on whether or not they want to buy the first rewards or wait a few months for something better. Knowing that everything is in a chain would alleviate this and be a fair way of making sure no one feels they "wasted" badges.

+1 like it. its like building up on the foundation of pvp.
