Post subject:  Legion base planet

The legion warehouse thread gave me an idea. Why not have an entire planet, or even solar system that a legion could occupy, something much bigger that you could put a lot of structures on, or dock your ships. Within this planet you could keep a warehouse for artifacts. There could also be incentive to raid others base planets for loot or points or something. Aside from an aggressive standpoint maybe you could visit others bases in order to trade or something similar.

Instead of the entire base being up for grabs maybe you could just make it permanent to that Legion and if it were attacked, it would need repairs or some equivalent. On the flip side if it were permanent, upgrades could be implemented and donations from members. I think this could really expand the value of legions.

Love this idea! Combine in with the warehouse suggestion and its a double winner, I think. Maybe the legion should have to have the planet first and build the warehouse (and defenses of course) after.

Hope something like this gets added so i can dump some of my extras...

Agreed, a mix of both ideas would be ideal.

Wonderful idea. This could also promote more intra- and inter-legion cooperation. And would definately provide even more awesome gameplay.

To add on to this idea, there could be base technologies that could be researched. Like base shields weapons, etc. Have a bigger trade market, more room for ships. This really could go a lot of places.

Maybe only way to find a legion base would be a crit hack? On a successful crit-hack 10% chance of getting the base planet, 90% some other planet in the database... 5/95, 15/85... somewhere in that range.

I actually am leaning more towards the bases being publicly known, or at least having an option to let who you want know and then cloak against others. I'm not sure what all you can do with a market, but I like the idea of being able to trade with others. Maybe have businesses and be able to sell your own stuff to others.

Yeah, that would work too. Keep it semi-private though so there's still the opportunity for raiding (just to keep things interesting)

If we use the idea of legion starbases, then we could treat it as a player instead, where you can attack and raid it in PvP and the starbase can have its own cargo and decks. This also allows for it to be scalable unlike planets are.

yea thats an excellent way of handling it.

Post subject:  Re: Legion base planet

I always liked the thought of this aswell...
I think it should be something big though. Maybe "legion owned space"
I know we do not have real mapping, but given the fact that we have planets, gas giants and dyson spheres, a mere planet or a station seems very dim. Or perhaps, "fleet HQ"?

How about its the place where you can put all the advanced parts to good use?

Post subject:  Re: Legion base planet

There are two old topics I remember of a similar suggestion(One is my own). Im just puting them here to show ideas others had.
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1939
This is mainly about what would be on legions starbases.
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1969
This one is my idea for battles between legions over starbases(And two other things unrelated that have to do with legion war)

Post subject:  Re: Legion base planet

I was thinking about this a little more, another addition to the station (yes it's been upgraded to a station as opposed to a base) could be a repair bay. Maybe you could have discounted repairs within it. To elaborate on the market portion, maybe you could sell planet locations, or extra npc parts, artifact points etc. Also, maybe a bar that would have a bounty hunter list that you could pay.

Post subject:  Re: Legion base planet

As the one post said this idea does have other posts about it. I think it would be a great idea and encourage more work within legions. This would allow for a stronger legion play as well including more organized wars, legion based missions, and more. Bob I really like your idea of markets and bounty hunters. Though I would be happy just getting a start to the station idea.

Post subject:  Re: Legion base planet

great idea, the a entire solar system got me thinking, a legion base is a entire solar system, in order to do that, they must colonize every planet on that solar system then the solar system would be declared that legion.
I think solar system can be invaded like planets except they have to invade each solar system everytime.

Post subject:  Re: Legion base planet

I like the idea of it acting as a starbase myself, and that starbase acts as a player in regards to size and growth, that way it isnt limited like planets as previously mentioned. Maybe the planets in the starbase system can act as resource gatherers for that specific base, and those planets would act under normal conditions.

Author:  Darth Flagitious [ Sun Nov 28, 2010 6:23 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Legion base planet

Perhaps each legion member would "donate" one of their unused planets (we all got 'em) to the starbase. Bigger the legion, bigger the system. One member would be official starbase commander (legion would decide who and how). Commander would be responsible for resource allocation, planetary development, etc..


Anyway, I like the way this is developing. Hope Dan is keeping an eye on this thread...

Well some giant base type planet type thing that serves as a base, and offers new rewards, would be great. It could give resource points that all of the players could receive. (But not too many for balancing sake.) All the legionaries could guard it, and it could be involved in Legion vs. Legion wars.

Post subject:  Re: Legion base planet

this would go great with a bunch of expansion potential in order to keep the game interesting and addictive.

this legion specific research tree topic would go great with this! (not my post)

I had an idea like this. you could trade with other legions and make rates for minerals and artifacts you own. You could have a trader privilege (sorry, couldn't resist promoting my idea) who can change rates and add minerals and take minerals. But I like to think that you could have a whole system as a base. The space for the base could be added by members adding extra planets. The (average rank of the legion)/4 is the number of planets. Maybe sell and buy planets too.
