Is it true that once you lock onto a base and take it out, you are ineligible to attack bases shared to you by your allies until your original 8 hour timer runs out?

Yup

Thought so. What exactly is the point of sharing bases when none of your allies will be available? Further, what's the point of being an ally when you can never help them? It's not like anyone is sitting around waiting for a share.

in contrast... if you're invited to join in someone else's scan, when their timer is already down to 30 minutes remaining,....... their timer becomes your timer, and you can do another battle 30 minutes later


actually, the sharing legion usually will ask if your timer is close to 0... that way you can plan to join their scan instead of scanning for yourself

Yes, but if I understand you, that's only if we're not on our own timer, right?

right, you can only join someone else's scan if you currently are also able to scan... so your timer already has to have hit 0 to join them

plus...is everyone in your legion from the same timezone?...country even?
it may be that some of your legion never get to see a decent base because they dont have the reds to scan themselves...everyone is different

TBH the share is largely pointless until you want to take down a Level 5+ base that has been properly set up and is being taken care of...
