==Intro.==

Hello and welcome to the first and only, by the date of September 2025, FreeSpace 2 medal guide on the internet. If you have any information, suggestions, or updates for the info presented here feel free to make changes to the version listed on https://wiki.hard-light.net/. Note that other versions are out of date. Questions can go in the discussion section. Note that this guide applies to the retail version of FreeSpace 2, so if you are using FreeSpace Open or a similar mod, I don't guarantee my information will be applicable in all cases. There are some slight differences in default score values for ships between FreeSpace 2 retail and FSOpen and I have used both in the making of this guide, so expect some small deviations in score here and there (mostly in regard to fighters and bombers). Thank you for reading this section, enjoy the guide!

==Before you start==

This section covers many things, from the basics to the advanced. Even if you are an expert I strongly suggest you look through this section. You can skip through and see what information might be useful to you.

In FreeSpace 2 the medals are essentially the game’s achievements. You get at most one medal per mission.
Ace badges are also in the medals box to the right of rank. Ace badges are only earned when you reach a certain number of total fighter and bomber kills. The following ships contribute to this total.

: Terran: [[GTF Valkyrie]], [[GTF Apollo]], [[GTF Ulysses]], [[GTF Loki]], [[GTF Hercules]], [[GTF Hercules Mark II]], [[GTF Perseus]], [[GTF Pegasus]], [[GTF Myrmidon]], [[GTF Ares]], [[GTF Erinyes]], [[SF Mara (Terrans)]], [[GTB Athena]], [[GTB Zeus]], [[GTB Ursa]], [[GTB Medusa]], [[GTB Artemis]], [[GTB Artemis D.H.]], [[GTB Boanerges]]
: Vasudan: [[GVF Anubis]], [[GVF Seth]], [[GVF Horus]], [[GVF Thoth]], [[GVF Serapis]], [[GVF Tauret]], [[GVF Ptah]], [[GVB Amun]], [[GVB Osiris]], [[GVB Sekhmet]], [[GVB Bakha]]
: Shivan: [[SF Scorpion]], [[SF Manticore]], [[SF Dragon]], [[SF Basilisk]], [[SF Aeshma]], [[SF Astaroth]], [[SF Mara]], [[SB Shaitan]], [[SB Nephilim]], [[SB Seraphim]], [[SB Nahema]], [[SB Taurvi]]

You will usually be informed when you get a medal, promotion, or ace badge on the debriefing screen of the mission if there is indeed a debriefing. Missions with a Red-Alert ending remove the debriefing, but you will still be awarded kills, medals, and rank which you can confirm if you look at your stats in the barracks. Normally there is only the debriefing dialog box along with the usual buttons. When you get a medal, ace badge, or promotion, there will be an additional dialog box connected on the side of the first. This box has what all medals, ace badges, or promotions you received in the mission. Optionally the person who debriefs you will say something, and though the medal screen appears for all Ace Badges and Ranks.  Note that you can get a medal, promotion, or badge without either the screen or the commentary, so the true way to confirm your progress is to check the barracks or your player file.

Q: How come I didn't get a medal on this level?
Most likely there is no medal for you to get on that level. If the level is listed on this guide and you didn't get it, then you probably missed a part of the instructions that were needed to acquire the medal. If you were expecting an Ace Badge then you should recalculate your number of fighter/bomber kills. If you were expecting a rank up, note that this can be a complex calculation and the variables tend to be hidden.

=== The Medal Box ===

There are two ways to view the medal box. The first is to be awarded a medal on the debrief screen, and then click the medal icon that is located on the medal dialog. The second is more complicated, but always available. On the Flight Deck, find the Barracks and click on it. This will take you to a screen with the different players you've made, single and multi player, plus it will show you the all time stats for each player. To get to the medal box, click on the medal icon that is in the lower middle area of the screen.

Each time you get a new medal, it appears in the medal box. Shown below is how the game displays your medal depending on amount. Once you get two medals, a small bronze patch appears, then a silver and gold patch for 3 and 4+ medals respectively. Medals are earned by triggering specific events in missions.

The Ace Badges are the three circular badges in the medal box directly to the lower right of the nameplate. Ace Badges are set up a little differently than the medals, there are 3 badges total and each additional badge will show up to the right of the first. Once you unlock all three you can't earn more Ace Badges. Ace Badges have a minimum fighter/bomber kill limit that must be hit to earn the badge. Nothing but fighter and bomber kills go towards getting Ace Badges. Other kills are still tracked in your player stats. Thanks to GameFAQs user Dman4835 for initially getting me this info.

Rank is set up much differently than both ace badges and medals. Rank is located directly to the lower left of the nameplate. Rank is your symbolic promotion level in the GTA. Oddly, the orders you can give are not limited by your rank (i.e. your call menu is the same when you're an Admiral as it is when you're an Ensign). To be determined, rank takes into account 2 variables: the "Rank" variable which can be directly added to and subtracted from, and the "Score" value which is contributed to by getting points in missions. Point values are defined by in the code and in FRED. Any objective, event, goal, directive, or various other things can be assigned a score value and add or subtract from your score. Calling in support subtracts points from your score. Every ship in the game is assigned a default point value, but this can be changed in FRED by tweaking the score value. The default values can be found here: https://wiki.hard-light.net/index.php/Ranks_in_FreeSpace. Finally, rank can be added and subtracted directly using the grant-promotion variable in FRED. This means that your Rank is determined by (extra promotions) + (current Rank score determination). See the [[FreeSpace_2_Medals_Guide#Points_and_Score_System|Points and Score system]] section for in-depth details. The following is a list of all the different positions of rank determined by score in the order that you get them. Thanks to GameFAQs user Basilisk for the points for each rank.

==Other Useful Information==

'''<u>You can restart a campaign</u>''' without losing any stats or medals. To do this, first go to the Flight Deck, then click Campaigns, then select the campaign you want to restart, then click restart campaign in the lower right corner of the screen.

'''<u>Backing up your player info</u>''' can save you loads of hassle in the long run. I can't get the "Clone" function to copy my player (I think it only copies the settings under "Options" to a new player) so I worked something else out. It's a little more advanced and you'll be messing with the game files, but don't worry, follow along and you'll do fine. Open your FreeSpace directory\players. By default on Windows that's C:\Games\FreeSpace\players, in FS Open it is at %APPDATA% HardLightProductions\FreeSpaceOpen\data\players. In retail FreeSpace \players folder if you are backing up a single player entry, open single, otherwise open multi. FSOpen combines single/multi so these folders don’t exist. Find your pilot's name, there will be some files associated with your player: a .plr or .json file for your player stats, and when you start a campaign a .css or .csg file to mark you have played a campaign which records directives and such that you've accomplished through the campaign, I assume the game sends you to alternate versions of levels this way. These look like this: Player.FreeSpace.csg, Player.FreeSpace.css, Player.plr. Select all of these which have your callsign in front and make a copy. You should make a backup folder to copy these to, such as FreeSpace/Backup. You can also rename pilots this way. Instead of using X.plr, change X to a different name (e.g. Backup.FreeSpace.csg, Backup.FreeSpace.css, Backup.plr). Back-Ups will help ensure you get everything, and help avoid any nasty glitch that wipes out all your player info. Note you can freely edit these files as well.

'''<u>The mission log</u>''' is something useful you can use while in mission to see what kills you've gotten and what objectives you've completed. To access it, press F4. The mission log has 3 parts: The objective screen displays what your objectives are and whether or not you've completed them. It will always display Primary and Secondary objectives, but Bonus objectives only appear on this screen when you've completed them. Hidden Objectives will never appear on this screen. Uncompleted objectives are represented by a white circle, complete by a greened in circle, and failed by a red x-ed out circle. The message log displays all messages received in-mission, and at what time. I don't ever use it, I don't find it helpful. The event log shows when objectives are satisfied, when enemy wings arrive and depart, when ships arrive and depart, when ships are destroyed and by whom, but unfortunately it only tells the name of the ships, not their class.

===The Four Glitches===

There are four useful glitches I have found in the game, and I will make reference to them throughout the guide so you may want to take note.

* '''<u>The Infinite Weapons Glitch</u>''': If, on any level, you enter cheat mode (type www.volition-inc.com in mission) then enable infinite weapons for yourself (hold ~ and press w), your ship will have infinite missiles and weapons energy on any level until you exit FreeSpace or until you disable the code.

* '''<u>The Reason for Treason Glitch</u>''': You can go traitor and pass most levels that do not have a debriefing, and when you do you can destroy friendly ships without failing the mission. In order to earn points instead of losing them for friendly kills, you must destroy them only after they turn hostile to you. Use a weak weapon to fire on a ship until you turn, then you can finish off all former allies without a score penalty. The exception is Tenderizer because the mission is coded so that the Galatea jumps out after you pass the primary objective, which isn’t possible as a traitor. Turning traitor will make it impossible to get points from objectives or medals. The following are missions where this glitch can occur:
:{|
|
Clash of the Titans II<br>
Apocalypse<br>
|}

* '''<u>The NoClip Glitch</u>''': This glitch is rather tricky to pull off, and a bit hard to explain, so bear with me. This glitch allows you to get inside the hull of a ship just like the Warp-In Glitch does, but it does not require a ship to warp in. There are some requirements in regard to the target ship however. First, you will need to find a place where two parts of the ship meet at a 90 degree angle or less (the smaller the better). Turrets, dishes, and other auxiliary devices can also accomplish the goal, but you will probably be killed by the amount of collisions using those. When you find a suitable angle, align your ship so that the line where the two parts meet (the center of the angle) is vertical on your hud. Align your targeting reticle with that spot as well, and when you are ready, fly into the angle (you will be colliding into it, don't worry too much); afterburners aren't necessary, just use the increase speed button (bound to A on the keyboard by default). You can also shoot yourself backwards into the crack by detonating a missile near you, but this is risky and it doesn't seem to work better. Anyway, after a breif moment of ramming, turn your engine off. Unless your target ship is moving, keep your speed at zero. Now look around; you are looking for a point of entry into the ship. It isn't hard to see these; one minute the hull of the ship is visible, the next it isn't. If this phenomenon happens, maneuver your ship into the area where the hull disappeared; otherwise, try again. The following are ships susceptible to this glitch:
:Terran: [[GTSC Faustus]], [[GTD Orion]], [[GTI Arcadia]], [[NTF Boadicea]], [[GTD Hecate]], [[GTVA Colossus]], [[NTF Iceni]], [[GTD Hades]]
:Vasudan: [[GVD Typhon]], [[GVD Hatshepsut]]
:Shivan: [[SD Demon]], [[SD Lucifer]], [[SD Lucifer]], [[SJ Sathanas]]

==Points and Score System==

I used DMTOOLS to extract the missions to a file, and used Notepad++ to view the mission files and find score values.

The score system is a feature that determines your rank. It adds up a hidden value, points, to calculate your rank-up score. Rank-up score determination is applied to the rank range listed above to give a score rank, which is then added to your current rank which can be modified by the game and either added to or subtracted to. Specifically the grant-promotion variable will give you (rank-up score)+1 Rank. You acquire points by doing certain things in the game, which I have labeled further down. Points awarded multiply or divide depending on your skill level. The skill-to-points ratio is as follows:

{| 
| 
Very Easy :<br>
Easy      :<br>
Medium    :<br>
Hard      :<br>
Insane    :<br>
|
0.2<br>
0.4<br>
0.7<br>
1.0<br>
1.2<br>
|}
This means when you play on Hard difficulty the points are face value, otherwise multiply by the number listed to see the points you earn. Points are awarded when completing objectives/events/goals/directives or when ships are destroyed. Points are subtracted when calling in a resupply ship (by 50 points). An objective gives points when the objective is completed. Ships give or penalize points based on 1) their alignment when they die and 2) whether they count as your kill. A ship killed by you will penalize you its point value if friendly or award you its point value if hostile. Whether you "killed" the ship is determined by a calculation that begins when the ship is assigned a new alignment, overwriting any prior data before the alignment changed. The calculation is just (Current remaining HP) * 30%. This means if 10 ships do 8% damage to a target and you do the entire remaining 20% damage you can't get the points for this kill because you didn't do 30% of the damage. If you and another ship both do 30% of the damage, the points go to whoever did more damage or are otherwise random. Some examples, if you do 30 damage to an enemy ship with 100 HP worth 100 points you'll be awarded 100 points at the end of the mission. If that same enemy has 100 HP and you damage it down to 3 HP before it changes alignment and then someone else finishes it off, they are awarded the points because they did 100% of the damage to it after it changed. If you teamkill and every ship turns against you and you kill every ship and still successfully complete the mission, every enemy ship you killed including your former allies will count as points gained and every friendly ship you killed before turning traitor will count as points penalized. Worth noting is that some missions are modded to give points based on the exact percentage of damage you deal instead of whether you're confirmed as the killer but this is not default behavior.

==Single Player Medals, Rank, and Kills==
This section lists each level in chronological order, and lays out the medals, points, and kills for each. Also listed are details of possible kills on the level and all mission objectives, including hidden ones. Any enemies that aren't listed but are in the level are important ships that you can’t kill for one reason or another. Note that all details here refer only to the FreeSpace 2 campaign, unless otherwise specified. When revising this list I used the FSOpen missions instead of the Retail FreeSpace 2 missions and I’m not sure if these were changed, so there may be slight differences in some score values if you play retail. The following is a short list of all the medals you should have after completing the main FreeSpace campaign.

'''Strategy:''' There is a unique installation here: the [[NTF Boadicea]], but destroying it is only possible using `+k with cheats and you won’t pass the mission if you do that. If you destroy it before it opens a subspace rift you will be unable to pass the mission since command will never order you to jump out, and its HP is locked at 1% HP if you try to destroy it by conventional means.

'''Strategy:''' To get the [[Iceni]] kill, switch your primaries to a very strong weapon like the [[BFRed]] beams and kill it after it has opened a subspace rift. Killing it before the rift opens will prevent the mission from advancing which means there is no way to succeed. This is the only level where the [[TC-TRI]] kill is normally available, though you can also get one using an exploit on the last level.

'''Strategy:'''  This is an [[Special Operations Command|SOC]] mission. All [[Special Operations Command|SOC]] missions are optional, but I HIGHLY recommend you don’t skip these. They are all good missions. You can’t turn traitor on this mission even if firing on friendlies. This is the only mission with the following kills: [[GVB Sekhmet]], [[GVF Tauret]] (legitimately, there is another chance later using an exploit), [[GVB Bakha]], [[GVC Mentu]], [[GVCv Sobek]].

'''Strategy:''' In order to get the small amount of kills on this level, you will need to wait until the [[Lucifer]] jumps in (after the [[FreeSpace_1_Shivan_Ship_Database#SD_Eva|Eva]] departs) and use the Warp-In Glitch. You will be told to "enter the docking bays", assumedly meaning fighter bays. You don't really have to enter them (and can’t in any legitimate way in FS1 retail), just get very close. In the FSOpen port you can cheat and remove the [[Lucifer|Lucifer’s]] invulnerability and kill it. You fail this mission if you fire before you are detected, or if you are detected by a [[SF Dragon]] class fighter or [[SSG Trident]] sentry gun. Detection happens when you are within 400 m of the enemy.

'''Strategy:''' The [[FreeSpace_1_Shivan_Ship_Database#SC_Raja|SC Raja]] only appears if you did not pass the Inspect Warships objective in the prior mission. Wait until the [[FreeSpace_1_Shivan_Ship_Database#SD_Eva|Eva]] stops launching ships before you destroy it to get max kills. You can go traitor and pass this mission as long as you destroy the [[FreeSpace_1_Shivan_Ship_Database#SD_Eva|Eva]] as well at the cost of the points for the primary objectives. The best mission to do this exploit on is [[Descent:_FreeSpace_Medals_Guide#The_Great_Hunt|The Great Hunt]] since you make up for all lost points as a traitor. If you do so empty your allies’ guns and call in a support when you get in to get a [[GTS Centaur]] kill (worth 6 points) as well as the unique kills for the ships you put your wing-mates in. Since [[GTF Apollo]] class fighters are the only legitimate Terran kill in the campaign I would suggest putting other ships in play to get those kills.

'''Strategy:''' The primary objective is set up to fail but you should still try to go after the fighters and bombers, mainly because you pass this mission only if the [[GTD_Galatea|Galatea]] is destroyed after the [[Lucifer|Lucifer]] arrives. A [[Lucifer|Lucifer]] kill is only possible in FSOpen by using cheats to disable its invulnerability.

'''Strategy:''' Your second primary objective listed is set up to fail. This is an extremely hard mission; I'd say the second hardest in the campaign. If you can get the Bonus objective then pat yourself on the back, otherwise don't bother trying. You can let 2 pods die to pass the mission (and in my opinion, it isn't worth it to try saving all the escape pods, unless you seriously want a challenge). If you leave one Krishna fighter alive, the rest won't warp in, but you still need to destroy that fighter (and 1 wing afterwards) to finish the level. For this to be useful you’d need to disable or distract the fighter as well, otherwise it will kill your escape pods. The [[Lucifer|Lucifer]] can be killed using cheats in this mission if you’re playing the FS1 port. Use any of the Shivan Super Laser beams, not the shivan super laser since it doesn’t break through the [[Lucifer|Lucifer]] shield.

'''Strategy:''' The [[PVF Thoth|Thoths]] stop spawning after the [[FreeSpace_1_Vasudan_Ship_Database#PVC_Benedict|Benedict]] dies. The [[SF Scorpion]] interceptors only show up if you don't destroy the [[FreeSpace_1_Shivan_Ship_Database#SC_Zenith|Zenith's]] Comm. Subsystem. If you take out the [[FreeSpace_1_Shivan_Ship_Database#SC_Zenith|Zenith's]] engines, you will have extra time and infinite time for this level in retail FS1. If you remove wingmates the [[FreeSpace_1_Vasudan_Ship_Database#PVC_Benedict|Benedict]] will glitch and immediately warp out, so if you are going to have your wingmates go away make sure to order them to leave when you get into the mission. You can betray your team on this level to get their kills as was the case on [[Descent:_FreeSpace_Medals_Guide#Evangelist|Evangelist]] at the cost of losing out on the points for the objectives and the medal. The best mission to do this exploit on is [[Descent:_FreeSpace_Medals_Guide#The_Great_Hunt|The Great Hunt]] since you make up for all lost points as a traitor. If you do so empty your allies’ guns and call in a support when you get in to get a [[GTS Centaur]] kill (worth 6 points) as well as the unique kills for the ships you put your wing-mates in. Since [[GTF Apollo]] class fighters are the only legitimate Terran kill in the campaign I would suggest putting other ships in play to get those kills.

'''Strategy:''' The only way you can get a [[SC Lilith]] kill on this level is if you didn't manage to kill the [[FreeSpace_1_Shivan_Ship_Database#SC_Zenith|Zenith]] in the previous level in time (but it always shows up in the mission sim). The way you get so many kills is to first use the Cheat and Pass glitch on the previous level, then stay in the area until the [[Lucifer|Lucifer]] stops launching ships (20 wings of [[SF Basilisk]]). Make sure 1 Omega transport survives.

'''Strategy:''' Ensure 1 Omega survives to proceed to the next mission. This mission grants you a full promotion regardless of points as long as you destroy the [[FreeSpace_1_Vasudan_Ship_Database#PVD_Anvil|Anvil]], making it the highest points award of any retail FreeSpace series mission (the points to get from Vice Admiral to Admiral is 4000000 points which are supplied if you destroy the [[FreeSpace_1_Vasudan_Ship_Database#PVD_Anvil|Anvil]]). Realistically this is the only way you will ever reach Admiral short of creating/playing a custom campaign. For example there are some FS2 levels that supply nearly 100,000 points which you'd need to replay 90 times to approach Admiral taking full advantage of the exploits that yield that many points on Insane.

'''Strategy:''' Out of all the single player missions, I have the most trouble with this one. It's unlikely that you will get the [[SD Demon]] class destroyer kill, as you will be occupied with fighting the [[Bastion|Bastion's]] attackers. Instead have Beta wing take it out, and tell them to disarm it, but don't give them stilettos. Have Beta wing protect the [[Bastion|Bastion]] until the second wing of [[SB Nephilim|SB Nephilims]] is gone.

'''Strategy:''' This is one of the levels you can use the Cheat and Pass glitch on as well as Reason for Treason glitch. If you decide you are going to cheat, you'll want a fast ship (I suggest [[GTF Valkyrie]]), and since there are a large number of kills and a nice variety, you will want to do this one solo (so don't let any teammates kill enemies; remove their weapons). Also, switch out your primary weapons for [[Ml-16 laser|ML-16's]] (you'll see why in-mission). In FS1 retail- as soon as you enter the mission, enter cheat mode as fast as you can. Make yourself invulnerable, then switch both of your primary weapons to Shivan Super Lasers (select a gun mount, hold ~ and shift, press 0 only once). Select the [[Lucifer]] with the escort button (e by default), then hold ~ and press k a 7 times or until its health reaches 12%. Aim for the [[Lucifer]] and shoot however many times you think it will take you to finish off the [[Lucifer]] (it only takes 2-3 hits to kill it, but the [[Lucifer]] is extremely hard to hit from 20 kilometers away). If you hit it enough times, you will get a [[Lucifer]] kill (if it jumps out you can restart and try again). In FSOpen this is much easier to do given you can slow down time and use a Shivan Super Laser Beam instead which are hitscan weapons. If you are using the Reason for Treason glitch, call in a [[GTS Centaur]] (call in support) to get that kill. After you kill the first wing of fighters that jumps in Command will talk to you. At this point the [[Bastion]] can die without penalty, although it will deploy some [[PVF Thoth|Thoths]] later. If you don’t go traitor just select the [[Bastion]] and `+k it, otherwise kill all the fighters it deploys before killing it. This mission says its timed but isn’t and can be completed after the time runs out. In order to finish it you need to go to the jump node.

===Good Luck===

'''Strategy:''' Use the Cheat and Pass glitch on this level. To get 304 kills, first disable the [[Lucifer]] (it has 2 engines). After you do this, the [[Lucifer]] won't jump out, but it will keep spitting out ships (you can leave the game running while the mouse is on trigger, but use something like [[Synaptic|Synaptics]]). When fighters are no longer appearing, destroy the [[Lucifer]] like you normally would destroy a ship. Make sure you DON'T destroy all 5 reactors; otherwise you won't get the [[Lucifer|Lucifer's]] kill. If all your allies died in the previous mission they won’t appear in this one. Without any kind of cheating or exploiting, soloing the [[Lucifer]] is effectively impossible. You can betray your team on this level to get their kills as was the case on [[Descent:_FreeSpace_Medals_Guide#The_Great_Hunt|The Great Hunt]] at the cost of losing out on the points for the objectives (you still get the medal). The best mission to do this exploit on is [[Descent:_FreeSpace_Medals_Guide#The_Great_Hunt|The Great Hunt]] since you make up for all lost points as a traitor. Since [[GTF Apollo]] class fighters are the only legitimate Terran kill in the campaign I would suggest putting other ships in play to get those kills.

==Multiplayer Medals==
Since they are in no particular order, I organized the Multiplayer Medals in alphabetical order by mission. Thanks to SF Basilisk for the backbone of this. This part of the guide will only cover the multiplayer missions that come with the game. The following is a short list of all the medals you should have after completing each multiplayer mission once.
