Edited by: Tusko Hopkins on 26/11/2008 16:17:25 About one third of the world's flags are tricolor, and half of them assymetric. There are a lot of small, nationality based corps in game who would like to express this in the decorations they are creating for their members. Besides, tricolor and assymetric badges do look cool. Unfortunately, when designing the ribbon part of the medals, all patterns you can chose from are symmetric along their longer (vertical) axis, which makes it impossible to design proper, tricolor ribbons with one color on one side, another color in the middle and a third on the other side.
I think this request is not very difficult to fulfill: all that needs to be done here is adding a few more patterns to the ribbon customization list, patterns which have a stripe on either the left side, or the right side. The current color selection and pattern layering mechanisms would allow the medal designers to use these new patterns to create proper tricolor ribbons.

While the idea might have merit, I don't agree with your justification (RL world flags?!...)

Scagga, you are from the UK, you cannot understand that part :) But even if you do not really agree with the justification, the concept of tricolor badges could still be something you support... I mean tricolor looks quite alright.

Of course I can't understand that part...I just didn't think this would be the first item you'd write up as a proposal on the assembly hall! It probably would look 'quite alright', but that imo is not a good enough justification for the CSM to spend time on it. Could you justify it in objective terms as to why it is worth the time to deliberate, escalate and put into action?

Scagga... dude... bitter much?
Seriously... lighten up.
This is a place to give ideas and suggestions.... and its an bloody good idea.
Is it earth shattering? No... is it something that deals with the largest issues on the table? No.
But its something good and a boon to those who want to give a "mission badge" As opposed to a medal of honor. So long as they are not as expensive... maybe half the price tag.... and make them generic enough to be not so fancy.
And yes.. I think this is a good idea.
Even if its overshadowed with other issues... all good ideas should be given there fair shot.

A medal is not something you "shove" in anyones face. It is something CEOs give their members as a token of acknowledgment for their deeds. It is pretty well hidden in the decoration tab. I mean, you have to click 4 times to get to the medal itself. It is not like if I would ask for the ability to color my ship red-white-green. A lot of corps have been using all kinds of design guides to provide a uniform look for their appearance on forums and ingame. Assymetric ribbons are definitely something that would allow a better implementation of these design guide for the corporation medals.

IMO they need a vast increase in the number of art objects available for Corporate logos as well as the badges. Considering how much... stuff they're going to implement with their SecondLife project (stumbulation) then it would only be logical. Enabling 3-d objects as a part of the Corporate labelling and badging would also be appropriate.

Counties colors aside, I would like to see more patterns added to the ribbon list, including assymetric patterns. I have been designing a few medals for my corp and wish I had the option.
I would also like to see more items to make the medal out of, maybe some jolly rogers, skulls, larger swords (single, crossed, and otherwise), maybe even some more colors to choose from, but one thing at a time. :-)

Well, I don't think I have to say much more than my country has a tricolor flag.

Edited by: Ankhesentapemkah on 28/11/2008 11:30:15 Yes.
I'd also like to see more base medals and more images to put on them, such as stuff like a lion, bear, griffon, book, lotus, and that sort of stuff as the medals are quite limited now and we got too many swords, birds and laurels in there. ---

Surely at least all the corporation logo's should be available as part of the medal designs as well, I mean medals are generally for a service provided to the corp kinda thing...

This issue somehow improves the game for the majority of players?
After all the campaigning on much more urgent and serious matters, this is the first issue you deem important for the players of Eve? Hell's teeth...
