First Blood
Clear a wave.
+5
Every achievement earns points. Points raise your rank, from Cadet to Admiral, and your rank sits beside your callsign on every leaderboard. There are 36 badges, worth 1,000 points in all.
Beyond Admiral, Service Stars.
Steel badges are worth 5 to 10 points, cyan 15 to 30, gold 35 and up. Before every sector the game names your orders: the badges that will promote you soonest. Earn one mid-wave and you hear it; when the wave is cleared, it is presented. Three are classified until you earn them.
