I love this legion! I also do not play for PVP it is fun once and a while I get attacked or I attack someone and sometimes I win or lose I always have fun and I don't need the legion to back me up.

The PVE is the hook for me and finding new Tech and enemy's for us to fight is the most exciting part.

Hail to the Dysonians home world Exotica!

Don't worry.. i think its ok. Its just that a simple message is a good way of communicating and being direct to the point will better convey your message. Most people stop reading at the 1st sentence when they lose interest when they have to open up a dictionary just to find what you are saying..

Your legion does not need to worry about us.. Were so busy waiting for good PVE targets that wasting our energy on PVP is really a complete waste of good recharge.. At the same time if we get hit with a Krionus Virus Trap (which happened to me weeks ago) its another 2 hours of wasted time.. and we will be kicking our selves when a good NPC gets shared..

Yup. Perfect Legion for me.. Lots of NPC shares and no Planet shares that are a waste of our ship logs space the old legion use to have a contest of the worst planets.. which irks me a lot too many childish players.

a good legion no matter how you describe it would be the one that suits your game play.. you can say were more Geared towards making our ships as powerful as possible

I wanted a Grid network but its ok maybe next time

grats to those who got what they needed and participated



Booyah 2 Decks + hull and shield upgrade Woot woot!!!

Dysonians! I just updated my original post at viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1819&p=13819#p13819 about Exotica as our first real Capital Planet.

Enjoy!

Cool, since it generates nothing for anyone, and takes up a bunch of DoO guards, we can all ignore Exotica.

Lol. It does generate something (I am sorry if you are limited to see what you see before your own eyes in hard values).. It generates cultural or political influence (Go play Civilization 4 or 5 or galactic civilization if you wanna understand the influence value) in a major way that I fully expected. I had received much increased requests to join Dysonians upon capture of Exotica.. The Dysonians along with Exotica simply inspires current Dysonians as well as many applicants competing for last 8 spots.. It also attracts opponents trying to capture it that could lead to glorious epic battles (I hope it would happen down the road). I have too much resource generation so having Exotica to be a resource planet cheapens the purpose of the Exotica.. Why did Dan introduce the slave barrier into game in the first place? It *IS* obviously specifically designed for Exotica.. Too bad that no previous owners bothered to use it. I am first one to use that structure. I bet that Dan is happy that his creation is now being used.

It would be nice to improve Exotica to benefit a legion in a special way that no other planets would provide. That could lead to much attraction value for any other legions trying to capture it to grant that special way to them. That'll add a good dimension to the game. Dan could introduce more unique planets with unique legion-wide abilities so we can compete for them..

Actually, I worked for Firaxis when we were prototyping Civ4, and during which time the culture system for Civ5 was first being conceptualized, so yes, I think you could say that I understand the idea a bit.



And this is not really the same thing at all. But don't get me wrong, I'm glad you're doing it.

Now that you have me thinking about it, some type of culture aspect to GL would be awesome.

Actually I was the first to use the Slave barrier for that. Then I realized I was being an ass to the community and let people fight for it again.........

Ah! Thanks for that history! Good to know the history of Exotica.. So I'm the second one to use it and I intend to keep the barrier up full time. I ain't a nice guy ("nice guy" sucks in PVP environment) like you. You should have kept it up giving me some challenge to take it over. I was rather disappointed how easy it was when I invaded. I had hoped for harder fight.. It only took me grand total of 335 or 340 energy to eliminate defender plus invasion in ~30 seconds. ;(

Hate to burst you bubble again but your not the second either, your either the 6th or 5th actually. And I did keep Exotica under a full lock the entire time, you are though the second to do that though(TMK). As for making it easy to get, god forbid someone use an awesome planet for making resources. Not to mention me and Kuren were busy with our own planets and Sooz was able to fend off most attackers so we thought shed be fine.

Ah, thanks for the Exotica history lesson. It's helpful. I guess I came at the wrong time when barrier was taken down.. When did Exotica first come into existance?

When I completed the Exotica mission about 2 or 3 weeks ago I don't remember.. I saw that it was under control of you and Sooz. It also had 2 +10 mining structure and didn't have slave structure. Then few days later, I saw that Zhorgul captured it from you and seems to keep most structure intact including 2 +10 mining structures. It had two guardians so I waited for right time til it lost one of two guardians and I had Zhorgul targeted in battle tab at all time but I wasn't able to target the second guardian simply cuz he was too low rank for battle tab. When he was gone, it presented me perfect opportunity to make a surprise attack to eliminate Zhorgul first from the battle tab then invaded Exotica. Remember, I always have the disadvantage as guardian is that I have huge target painted on my ship from kill list.

I do not know the history of Exotica before I completed the mission 2-3 weeks ago.. It's good to learn more of its history.. If you and/or anyone else know more, it would be fun to share more of its history. Exotica deserves the history from its "birth" to current one.. Let's see how future history holds for Exotica.. Maybe create a thread of Exotica history to get it started if it has long history.. It would be nice to have history dates of Exotica ownership changes and what kind of battles it held and can be added as time goes by. It'll add some colorful light on Galaxy Legion's lores that was shaped and currently shaping by players like us..

Ask and yea shall have it shoved in thine face.

Thank you.

The Dysonians!

Good news..
See the mission named: Titancore Revelations
Armed with the power of the Titancore, our enemies will crumble at our feet. Link your ship with the Titancore scan interface to gather an intelligent data matrix on potential enemy worlds. Its flawless intelligence will lead us right to them.

It gives players the Titancore Data that finds a colonized planet with a ship guarding it. Do you understand what it means? Majority of players are guarding their best planets even Dysons.. No matter how well their best planet cloak is. Their planets will be revealed and the guarded ship will be easily warped out then that best planet will be captured easy.

Since many of us are guarding Exotica, we are immune to that darn titancore data's scan. That is another benefit of guarding Exotica so we can protect our best, well-cloaked planet completely from titancore data.

Whoa. This game just gets better and better.

Salute! A magnificent find in the gaming universe!

Has a Planetary Resource Leaderboard already been proposed as part of this acquisition/discovery/in-house skunkworks of Exotica and current game-threshhold tech discoveries?

Apologies if so, looking now for myself!

There is no such thing like that yet..

Dysonians. I have added new policy item: Champion..

Wingman Protection
Even though a Dysonian is expected to be capable of doing their own PVP affairs, there are sometimes stronger foes or legions who just decided to farm that particular Dysonian defender without any hopes of retaliation. That Dysonian defender can choose a Dysonian wingman to fight for him or her against that aggressor that will equalize the playing field. In order to use that wingman, the defender needs to alert the player stating in legion comm, "This alert is intended for my wingman named (Insert name)" OR "This is alert for any wingman volunteer to fight for me" and a volunteer can answer in legion comm stating that he will do it so others won't get involved. Wingman protection doesn't apply to offensive Dysonians who start their mess..

Enjoy! I just got this nice idea was because someone just disabled and hacked a weaker Dysonian comrade just "cuz" and he has zero interest in PVP but he wasn't able to win fights simply cuz that aggressor was almost 100 ranks higher and more superior in every way. That defender shared alert but I wanted to make sure no Dysonians gang up on that aggressor for just disable and hack so I came forth to fight for him (he stops fighting and mind his own business). The idea works cuz it sends the message to any aggressors that they know that weaker Dysonians now have their own personal protectors to defend them. That will help to cut down aggressors bottomfeeding our weaker Dysonians.. I had seen several weaker Dysonians being farmed to death by farmers for few weeks and they didn't even send out alerts.. Good news!! You, the farmer victims, can send out Wingman Alert and choose one of us to fight for you to stop those asshat farmers! They are most likely stop farming you anymore once they are being stopped by stronger Dysonian wingman. You can continue to fight back if farmers decide to continue to harass you no matter if wingman is on him cuz they would retaliate against weak instead of that wingman but that is better than being farmed without any kind of retaliation. You can always ask for wingman replacement anytime if that original wingman isn't doing good job.

Also, it gives me good reason to fight in PVP once again against tougher foes just to protect my comrades. I miss PVP a lot but I don't want to fight anybody unprovoked so this is good method.. Of course, stronger Dysonians who are capable of fighting their own PVP affairs and want to continue fighting on their own can just skip the need of a wingman. That works well as well. The need of the wingman protection would be rare I hope only in certain situation just to equalize the playing field..

I hope that new Wingman Protection system will help to protect you so you can enjoy farming NPCs without any real worries about PVP that you try to avoid!
