Here are some benefits to tokenizing game features (badges), though I am not totally sold on the idea of anyone playing on line for free.

• The on line game becomes open to free players. They can't do much but they are present. The game is "free to play".
  
• Once on line, free players have a way to spend a little money to do more, without creating a pay to win situation.
  
• Not all players can or will pay $10 per month but they might pay $3 or $4. This would tend to increase the player populations of existing empires, because you have to be in an empire to captain a spacecraft.
