Ahoy mateys!
We've just pushed a patch out for our new medal unlocks. Now you'll receive recognition for doing tasks around ships or slaying swabby sailors!
Medals can be earned by doing that specific task from bronze, silver and to gold. Each tier will require a certain number before unlocking the next one. These are viewable in the Stats screen and will popup like traditional unlock notifications ingame. Currently these values are subject to change/tweaking as we are in early access of course.
This currently isn't fully fleshed out. We will allow you to view other player's stats in scoreboard profiles in the next update.
