I've made the mistake of double hacking the same person in one day for a badge in less than 12 hours , mainly because I forgot that I had already hacked them and I'm sure others have done the same with a disable or raid of someone.

What i am suggesting is for there to be a notification in the top left corner for each of the 3 badges, if you get one of the badges it fades out a bit so you know you have already done the action for that badge successfully within the last 12 hours.

The first picture is of a ship that "you" have not disabled, hacked, or raided within the last 12 hours. the second ship is one that "you" have hacked within the last 12 hours.

this has been suggested before in the exact same way, however i love your visual representation of how it would be displayed. +1

+1 yeah this will help tremendously with those who "badge hunt" regularly as its easy to forget who you've hit when you go on a badge spree on the battle tab.

this would definitely be a nice addition

+1 google! I feel bad when I hack someone multiple times in the 12 hours, that is never my intention but there are just so few targets that cycle so often, it happens more than I like. This would be really helpful.

+1, but for some reason it would feel more intuitive to me if it worked the opposite.
If you haven't touched them in the past 12 hours then no badges show. You hack them and then a hlue badge shows up.

Of course there should be an infamous 'Dan Hover over' which would explain so you wouldn't get confused! Either way works for me as long as it is consistent.

I agree, this would be a very useful addition to the game. I've hacked the same person multiple times before now and they were...not happy lol. It wasn't intentional, but I simply didn't notice they were the same person.

why 12 hours though?
some might just play for 10 minutes before bed and still see 2 hacks/disables from the same player.
24 hours might be a better wait?

12 hours is the min time between getting badges.

why not just record your action on the news page, and have the target disappear from the battle tab completely and be replaced (even if attempt fails)? This way if you honestly want to retarget you have the option, or simply target anyone on bt (as you have attacked none of them listed).
