Achievements are permanent: like skills, they survive the loss of your ship. Most pay out in status — points, a title you can fly under, an emblem for your card — and a few pay in credits or skill XP. A handful of prestige hulls cannot be bought at all until the achievement that unlocks them is earned. Open any achievement to see exactly what it takes, what it grants, and where it sits in its chain.
