For a second I got really excited cause I thought that these were alliance specific unit insignias like the factions have.  Wouldnt that be super?

Still a very cool idea.  Bravo.
...and miles to go before I sleep.

it would be a really good way to raise funds for the game to allow alliances to buy certain designs for themselves, the game should really focus on making money so they can provide better gameplay

An awesome idea, but I think game medals or other such recognition should typically be based on specific accomplishments within the game.  i.e. Destroying a certain xp worth of enemy forces, selling a certain gold value of goods & resources, contributing a certain number of points in a tournament, etc.
If it's left up to the whims of each alliance, some will just give 'em out like candy for good behaviour, instead of being earned for actually accomplishing something significant.  That being said, there is also value in identifying non-quantitative contributions.  Perhaps there could be a limited number of such rewards?
Maybe there's a place for both methods of recogition? (i.e. Specific milestone accomplishments, versus player-arbitrated designations.)

Should that not be left up to each alliance, since these medals are alliance based and not gameplay based?
Gameplay allready has its rewards with the ranking system

... I'd say that I'm more excited when I find a 16 on a coastal square... ;-)  


16 is great until we find out that coastal sov buildings (fishing hut?) costs 2K res/hour to maintain per level....

In other news I would like a shark (preferably with Lazor beams).  SC promised (or at least he didn't say no, which means yes, right?) me a shark with lazor beams.

My question is simple: Is this pretty, but useless to gameplay , fluff supossed to distract us from the still missing sov of watertiles? That was going to happen within a week of the  last major release, yet a month later we are still waiting.

It's not meant to distract you from anything, no. We've already commented on the status of water sov and have apologized for its unexpected lateness. This is just another project that has been in the works behind the scenes that we are now sharing with you. At any moment we've got many different projects in the works, not just one.

Luna, will people be able to keep any earned medals when they leave an alliance? As a training alliance (FDU), many of our members go on to graduate to other alliances and our members are eager to know if they will be able to take any medals earned while in FDU with them when they graduate.

Only orc thieves.  The devs are going to put in that limitation in the hopes that Createure will stop complaining about "balance."

Wink
