DAN what are your thoughts about putting up a pop up when you try to attack PvP or Planet and your legion has a NAP with that members legion?

It sure would be nice.

The idea is a good idea but the problem is right now that NAPs a purely verbal between the legions. This would require there be a way to make naps part of the actual game coding, which I agree with doing. This can also be considered in parts of the war mode idea as well as the legion base ideas. Basically there seems to be a lot of players asking to make the legions mean more than someone to help farm NPCs, attack those who attack you and give your planets a bonus. This idea combined with the other proposed legion upgrades would really improve game play.

And they are also completely meaningless in some cases...

Anyway, +1 Brian

the greater issue is there can be no alert for naps alliances cease fires until these are implemented into the game , I for one would not want some legion leader who is on once a week deciding who I can and cant shoot at or hack .
there would also have to be limitations as to how many treaties a legion could hold with other legions say a total of 3 allied legions or we end up with a couple of mega alliances bullying the unaligned legions .
another issue would be ,would the alert I send be sent to all 3 allies who have mutual protection pact if so then I can see some poor sap getting gang raped by the huge alliances as well .

Well its a good idea. And I think some sort of Legion diplomacy system is a must for us.
Not sure if the bonuses should imply or not, but definitely some sort of "Honor" count...
Another good thing it leads to is communication. Possible merc work and trade...
(I know that must be balanced to keep one legion overpowering the rest, but even now its a bit offbalance anyways)

As for previous post, If you dont like following decision of your legion to not attack someone who supposed to be "friend" or NAP or whatever, then perhaps you do not belong to that specific legion. Surely there are more pirate based legions out there..

Another add...
If a member attacks a NAPped player, leader and officers should get some sort of an alert of the violation in order to take care of the problem.
A legion MUST work as a group. A country in a way. Serious Legions cant have a rouge causing wars or breaking friendships... XD

ok thanks guys!
I'm revising my idea!
under the battle tab the icon of the legion background color should be RED for WAR and Green for Alliance/NAP.

1) To implement an NAP the leaders/officers have to initiated the Alliance/NAP and get at least 15 members to agree regardless of size of legion.

2) When attacking PvP during 'WAR' the players receives a 100% experience bonus. This will help DAN to encourage PvP.

3) Any member of any legion can attack each other: only a pop up will ask for a confirmation of the attack against a alliance/NAP player. (thus no accidental PvP and no excuses - you might have to explain why you attacked a player in the alliance/NAP)

Considerable bonus for defending your ship! In other words should you passively disable a players ship when they are attacking you then you receive an incredibly large experience bonus with a news post telling you who you disabled while you where being attack. I just had the unfortunate surprise of being disabled by Hunterx while responding to a call to attack from my legion. Of course I was a little stupid! I was losing 3 for every 1 of damage I did to him.

I have noticed that some legions are using the same icon. It would be helpful if legions had to have their own unique legion icon and could not use one already being used by others.

All of these ideas sound great. The only one I would say no to is the defense bonus one. I say they should get experience points, but only what it would be if the disabled the other person on attack. These other ideas feed into some of the ideas about war modes, legion comm and legion alliances. They make these ideas work even better. Well thought out.

One more thing.
WAR may last 21 days and then need 24hours before they can be renewed.
Alliance/NAP may last 11 days and then need 24hours before they can be renewed.

Thus WAR along with NAP only last a limited time and have to be-renewed.
Naturally WAR is a one way option and alliance/NAP is two way between two legions.

Then why did Dan go through all these changes to the legion format if you going to just mass all the legions...

It wouldn't need to be a mass of the legions. Each legion would still be independent and act independently.

It would just be a way to block the random idiot from taking the planet of a legion you have agreed to a NAP with.
