Loavocado asked Dennis E. Taylor:

Why did they stop putting icons on their hull for achievements that they accomplished like how Bob-1 put a Medeiros with an X or the hull?

Dennis E. Taylor That's one of those things that you do as an act of defiance or bravado. Once the source of pressure for that attitude disappears, so does the behaviour. The Medeiri are (apparently) gone from the galaxy now. Same way air force pilots stopped painting their planes after WWII.
