so if you know the medal expand your ship to 1200 decks this is what i will be talking about. my ship was at 1980 20 decks away from getting the medal i then used 10 ship bots = 20 decks nothing happened. i was just janked

Spend rank points or claim your daily reward. That's the trigger.

I think (really tentative on this) that it's only spending rank points, I don't think the daily reward will do it.

Either way, you should get it within a day's time after getting 1200 decks, but yeah, I'm pretty sure it's rank points as well
