I really love this game but one thing that always bugged me is the fact that you can still do missions, gather Minerals and artifacts, and being able to research when being disabled.

when your disabled you should not be allowed to do anything buy talk with your fellow legion members. i mean come on, how could you do missions with a disabled ship, gather Minerals and artifacts with a disabled ship, or be able to research with a disabled ship, none of that should be possible with a disabled ship.

there are allot of people in the game that still advance in the game with a disabled ship by doing missions and such things. doing this gives them a reason to fix their ship so that they can advance in the game.

allot of people hide under a disabled ship so that they can fall off a news feed, they should not be able to do anything when being disabled as a drawback.

Thinking with in-game logic:
minerals, artifacts, and research are all done on your planets and then sent to your ship, so you don't require a working ship to get it.
With missions, I do agree that many of the missions would require more than a broken ship to complete, though a simple fix for that would be to double energy costs when disabled (as all your power is sent to life support and engines)

Some missions can't be done while disabled, I don't remember which but probably ones with the possibility of damage.

double energy cost to do missions is a great ideal zophah. double or triple the time it takes to regenerate energy since your ship is disabled and putting power into life support.

its just that more drawback are needed for people that hide under a disabled ship to make them want to repair their ship.

another thing that is needed but is off topic is diplomatic relations with other legions, as for being allies or just go to war with a legion of course the leader has to do it along with the officers.

both are needed.



Yes there are a few you cant do with a disabled ship but more needs to be done. like completing missions wile disabled wont count towards the tier reward or make it to where you have to have a shuttle craft so you can travel to the places to complete the missions but make it to where you can only use a few times then have to wait to recharge to use it again (like use it 2 times and have to wait 10 or more minutes to be able to use it again), how can you get to places with a disabled ship, seems odd to me.

Can you imagine if you were disabled right after you logged off and slept =_='... I'd be pissed in the morning (assuming recharge rate was lowered when your disabled)

I thought of that and that is why I suggested double-energy instead of slower-energy.
