When a player succeeds in various aspects of the game, they can be awarded medals which can been looked at from their medal's case. Here's examples of the Sol and Genari medals cases below: These are direct screenshots from player medal cases.
You can zoom in, and see their details up close, and the medals can vary not just on the 'metals' themselves but on the ribbons and such. So the medals are actually dynamic as well as varied. Genari Medals up close Sol Medals up close
The medals also come in two overall types: In-game and Legacy In-game medals are ones awarded based on your performance in that server you currently play in, and your achievements in all sorts of categories. Legacy medals carry over from server to server, where they represent your level of success as well as being the victorious race once a server is 'won'.

Hey Lesiak, that is the plan, though it might be implemented a little later past launch. We want to have people click on opponent's ships to see more than their name, clan affiliation etc...
Hey 0b1 -- there's always going be some tweaking of the medals through the beta, so indeed there is room for adjustments. And as the game gets played, ideas for new medals may come through.
Its only guesswork for now, but 2-3 months seems to be the calculation for a server run till one side dominates over the other.
Well since players of all kinds will be playing for your race (lone wolves, team types, leader types, pvE only types), activity will be of all sorts. But if you're looking to make an actual team of friends that play with you, as long as you have an hour or so to kill per session then you're fine. It more comes down you guys being free to play at the same time together.
Unless I manually put them on the forum, I don't see how the in-game medals can be incorporated. But the medals would be accessible to other players to view when you click on that player in-game.
