i see that on facebook they have they have the recruitment center and you can get station cash from that. but do you think they should have some in game? that way people can get a few cosmetics. dont go over board and earn nothing but to be able to afford 1 or 2 skins

they would be things originally like first kill, first assist on base capture/defend first kill upside-down (in an aircraft) but go onto... take a base with (insert #) or less players. or kill a max with your knife

Station cash? Uhm no. Especially considering it's a PC game, does any PC game with achievements actually give you useable points like the console version of said game.

What they could do some time down the road is give new players a wee bit of station cash to get them hooked on the shop, promotional profit deal.

maybe a little cash for some very few onetime things like "first kill of a full crewed galaxy".

but only to give a little cash to show the noobs how nice it is to spend some money on the shop.
just give them enough for a sweet little first fix. they will come in for more. approved tactics for any drugdealer

The only reason I can see this as somewhat possible is because World of Tanks gives out Gold for holding territory as a Clan, but I doubt it would be Station Cash. Probably an in-game currency like Auraxium(which I believe can purchase everything that Station Cash can?)

A small amount for a few select achievements maybe ... just as an encouragement to top up the value with your own money to buy something.

No... adding to the other valid reasons already posted.

I think it would lead to or worst, encourage boosting/exploits between players just to get station cash.

Auraxium, not station cash. If so, then yes.

i was thinking more of that all of them together might just add up to give you a skin or 2 not much. if that's a no what about if you complete all the achievements you get a special skin.... RAINBOW!(not really) but something unique to show your awesomeness

Station Cash, no, some extra cert points, maybe. but achievements should also just be that, achievements. They shouldn't ever be something people feel that they need to do to progress their character.
