Badge

Badges are bought in the palace shoppe of any island on a doubloon ocean for doubloons. These items provide the holder with the ability to hold a given rank, or lower, in a crew or the ability to take employment at a shoppe or stall to provide "offline" labor. A labor badge also enables the player to forage fruit from an uncolonized island

Badges last a limited amount of time, after which new badges must be purchased. There are two distinctions in how this time is measured. Login days refer to days in which the pirate holding the badge is logged in. Calendar days refer to days on the calendar, regardless of how often the pirate holding the badge logs in.

When a rank badge expires, the pirate who held the badge maintains their rank. However, any ablities that the rank has over that of the cabin person cannot be executed. For example, a captain whose Captain Badge expired can no longer modify the crew articles, promote or demote crew members, expel crew members, or command a ship with Officer level control.
