When we first took our base to level 5 it was targetted and disabled by a top 5 legion and its allies all within an hour of the upgrade. Definitely sucked.

No cool down. It's just bad luck. Take solace in the fact that it's better to get all your disables in one bunch. Means they're all recharging at the same time roughly instead of over three separate weeks.

Quite an off topic here but why come back to the legion after you sold the GP Mods? That for me really doesn't make any sense.
Is it just me or you only came back after people help get back the legion to it's feet again?

I'm not trying to single you out, it's nothing personal, just an observation and more generalized comment about the galaxy as a whole, though your original post and recent response tend to prove my point.

There was a time when a legion dug down deep and earned each level of their base. The leveling up event was a momentous occasion and signified the culmination of a joint endeavor that a group of individuals jointly strove for. The higher rankers in each legion divided up the required research to be able to build the various tactical modules necessary to defend their investment as they progressed, and spent countless hours NPCing to accumulate the necessary CTP, as well as the most important aspect of any base, the adequate hourly mining income to afford it.

A well built legion base has maxed out the tactical space by a dedicated group of players pooling their resources to collectively shoulder the load. The modules they can afford to install themselves, and maintain the upkeep for on their own base, is directly dependent upon the hourly income of the ships in the legion.

This is a concept that those who have bought or been given everything cannot grasp, because they did not earn it. As a result their bases are quite often far weaker than their steadily improved counterparts and subsequently these "fashionable" Level 5s are easy pickings comparatively.

You make a good case and respect your answer. But these days with legions such as the Dysonians, and top 50 legions dominating the galaxy its harder for smaller, newer legions to stand a chance in this game, and would be a very long futile way to build up their legions this way, without the help of others or buying to make their bases stand a chance of even making a reputation or entering the top 50 leader boards. Ever played Monopoly? Smaller new legions need the help to stand a chance!

I'm not saying smaller legions don't need help, far from it. Plenty of amazing ships have helped me along the way.

I'm saying, thinking you can have somebody give you what you didn't earn, and then complaining that it is not as strong as a legion that worked together, and gained momentum through teamwork, to reach the same point in their legion development, is the problem.

And before you say, she's in the top fifty and has no idea what it's like down here, please realize that I joined a legion of four members in a galaxy already dominated by the Dysonians, etc., and took that little legion all the way to #18 on the Strength Leaderboard, by slowly but surely building relationships with quality players and working side by side for a bigger and brighter future.

I remember spending weeks donating just so the seven of us could celebrate getting our base to Level 3, can you say the same? It took dedication to the group and brought us closer in ways that no "really, really big" legion shipment could.

I can also see the point your trying to make 8-)

Starting to feel like i am really unlucky, but in the space of 4 days our base, Cybertron has been disabled 3 times and each time i have been offline, and i am normally online most of the time! Just felt like venting my anger

Just want to be left alone just for a week so our resources can build up again, is there not a cool down period from when you can be attacked again after being disabled?

You make a good case and respect your answer. But these days with legions such as the Dysonians, and top 50 legions dominating the galaxy its harder for smaller, newer legions to stand a chance in this game, and would be a very long futile way to build up their legions this way, without the help of others or buying to make their bases stand a chance of even making a reputation or entering the top 50 leader boards. Ever played Monopoly? Smaller new legions need the help to stand a chance!

Did not say i was alone, said i had got my base to level 4 on my own, how about actually reading what i have written! i currently have a team of 36 working very hard on getting the base to level 5.
