Medals

Medals (also known as achievements) are bonus objectives in Galaxy on Fire 2 that, when completed, award the player with a badge and a certain amount of credits depending of the difficulty of the medal achieved. If player has met the requirement of any kind of medal (regardless of rank), the medal would only be given once after the player has docked into any station.

Medals introduced in the base game have three difficulty ranks; bronze, silver, and gold. However, the medals introduced in Supernova only have one, have a considerably harder difficulty level and are orange in colour.

The names of the medals give hints as to how to achieve them.

Supernova Orange Medal Requirements
These nine orange medals, introduced with the release of the Supernova add-on, are much harder than the first 36 because they are either very situational or impractical.

Rewards
As more and more medals are achieved, the rewards become increasingly lucrative:
 * 1) Freelance missions will have higher payouts with each additional medal.
 * 2) Wingmen will become Keith's fans and instead pay to fight alongside him if every medal is collected, regardless of rank.
 * 3) Obtaining all of the gold medals will have the VoidX available for purchase (around 8,000,000$/  4,057,950 $ on Android) at Thynome.
 * 4) Along with the medals from the base game, completing the orange medals' requirements will give the player the blueprints for firework missiles.
 * 5) The Specter becomes available for purchase (30,000,000$) after obtaining every gold and orange medal and finishing the Supernova storyline. Whether it is worth the time and effort is to be determined at the discretion of the player. However this is not needed in extreme mode as you unlock the availability to purchase it right after beating the supernova storyline.
