So you ground Freelance and Imperial 3 times each....?
....seriously?
...I'm awed...and dumbstruck.
That's some serious masochism if I'm understanding it correctly

I hope the badges are worth it.
The grind probably ain't that bad. The freelance pilot tree is the easiest, so if you mastered all three of them, that would be a X4 master pilot bonus. I believe this means that Tier 1's would then be worth 100X4=400xp, Tier 2 = 1600 xp, Tier 3 = what, 9600 xp? Tier 4, normally about 3200 xp would be worth 12800...and tier 5 B Wings, the easiest thing to kill IMHO, 8000x4=32000xp per.
32000 for each tier 5 bwing, that would be 32 B Wings per million Xp, or 125 kills for the entire tier 4.
Also, you could trick out your Dunelizard (80k+ Mass) at Master with the best parts you can get, then drop pilot. This would allow you to use it again once you reach freelance tier 1 again, and roll through the trees.
Still, I agree with the above poster. I've done Imperial Inq with 1 character, and am doing RSF with another. Can't imagine doing the rest just for the sake of badges.

i LOVE badges hehehe, but yeah, your mostly correct on the bonus, EXCEPT for the fact that it stalls out at x3...after that, its still just x3 every time

It took me 10 to 14 hours to go from novice CorSec to almost Master CorSec with just the 'vette left to do. How? I gotall level flightcomputers in my datapad programmed with the overloads III and cap to shield shunt (had to drop some of those commands for v1 to v3 ofcourse). I had level 2 to 8 RE'd loot and all the ships as you climb along the trees in possesion with max mass. Went to kessel after my last tier 3 mission as 2333 pilot with a tricked out kimo and got the 800k I needed for the first tier 4 box in 40mins.
In short, if you prepare for grinding through pilot with RE comps and droid commands then it is just a fun fly the storyline missions experience with an occasional short spawnpoint camping. (and my 12 years of playing Wing Commander help a bit too 
)

It took me 4 weeks to master all 9, I have every badge in the game except 4 of the Accolade badges.
I had tons of fun mastering them all.
