To those of us who haven't segregated our legions by level, the boss sharing sucks. We have no one that shares to us and no one to share with because of the rank divides.

Because of the new legion systems, getting enough players in a certain rank are just to hard. Can you remove the rank requirements for sharing bosses.

I'd agree with this. It seems odd that you can't tell someone that there's a big boss enemy out there that you need help with just because they're too "small". Rank has little to do with ship strength. If you're in a legion, you should be able to share with everyone.

There's a problem with this tho. You could power lvl your low lvl legion mates.

I don't think it would be good to allow a lvl 10 to have energy core / dark thrusters / crimson weapons etc.
besides you share a lazuli station that gives 400 xp to a low lvl, if he is part of the 12 best with 1 hit he's gonna lvl like mad too.

this means that if boss are shared to any lvl, a minimum dmg requisit would be needed on the boss to allow the player to have a part of the loot. Like 50% of the guaranteed loot cap for instance.

Or just match the loot/experience with the level of the person.

Example:
Akkiren, Drannik Hub
Now:
Rewards: Drannik Power Core, Drannik Swarm, Experience: 120

Matched (I'm assuming current min is level 100 for sake of calculation ease)
Rewards:
Drannik Power Core Mark 1: +10 energy (level 01-25), experience 20
Drannik Power Core Mark 2: +20 energy (level 26-50), experience 45
Drannik Power Core Mark 3: +30 energy (level 51-75), experience 65
Drannik Power Core Mark 4: +40 energy (level 76-99), experience 85
Drannik Power Core Mark 5: +50 energy (level 100+), experience 120
Drannik Swarm (level any)

Still maintain the max of 4 Drannik Power Core per ship

Not that hard, gives lower people a chance on bosses, etc.

perhaps ships that are too low a level can get "Ship Scrap" which can be used to turn in a mission. because you would have to have a legion member a great deal stronger than yourself, the rarity of ship scrap could make a significant accomplishment. (perhaps it could give a module called an "Fused Codex" that reduces your cooldown for daily rewards)

Edit: and as another suggestion, if a player defeats a boss solo, they can get Ship Scrap equal to the number of other slots, supporting higher level and solo players who would never get the chance to get it.

The problem with not fixing this is that encourages super groups that only allow high level members and the low levels are stuck by themselves. Then they end up getting farmed by the super groups.

Dan, please find a way to address this. I am in a legion with 49 members and only 2-3 of them can see my NPC alerts. Sometimes I have to finish off a major NPC by myself because the little guys never saw it or their aren't enough of them to help.

In the past few days I have alerted 5-10 boss NPCs and have only had 2 people help with them.

I solved that very problem myself immediately (I knew immediately that it would be a problem in the long run so I had to act fast) when Dan introduced new in-game legion system. So far, I haven't faced that as a problem. My Legion hasn't have any problems with boss npc sharing at all. Yes, there are some legion members who are too young but they have the goal by ranking up then they can finally join with us to kill them. That alone is a great incentive to them to rank up.. So I am glad for NPC with rank range limit as nice incentive..

Your legion is just too much of a rank gap. Need to correct that problem. Your younger legion members are enjoying themselves with lower NPCs. You are just different from the majority.. Dan is after the majority of players and try to design things that works well for the majority.. You probably want to wait til more and more of your legion members are starting to get into rank of 200 or 220+ to be able to help you out better. If you got no patience, join other legions with more high-rank players or merge legions or whatever.. The problem is easily avoidable in hands of players if they know how to solve it..

The NPC range limit has a reason to design loots for those players of proper rank range.. Just like high tech items are accessible by those high rank players who spent heavy on research, so go on..

Is it possible to get lower level people to help with higher bosses? I am the highest in my legion and the last boss share I had no one could help me with.
