You kinda remind me of a kid that throws a controller on the floor after they lose at a game...
Or the person who catches it lucky and wins a game against someone one just the once...
then never plays them again incase they get beat X-P

For those who read this thread.... Please take note that it's the top level legions trying to convince me to re-arm my base.

AND NO.... Target locks are not random, the attempt to find a base is random... locking on is a CHOICE.

NO-ONE... despite these guys claims..... NO-ONE is targeting my base anymore. It's simply too much work to get the badges out of it. A hit or two, and wait for shields to go up... another hit and wait.... If they give up and just disable us, they still have to wait hours before they can lock someone else....

you all are welcome to buy these guys nice rewards with YOUR money! Be my guest. It doesn't matter what you do, they will dissable your base anyhow..... You can either spend your credits for them, or spend your credits for you.... That's the simple truth of it.

Let these CC users enter their card numbers again if they want the "special prizes".... They can pass BS on here all day, it still don't change facts....

do me a favor and rank up your base to rank 5 already so we get a chance to lock you.

your a funny guy.

Pretty much, when we see that a base has nothing but the basic shields/hull we have people unequip their weapons, attack twice to lock it, wait for the shields to come back, take turn so we all get locks, and then kill it easily.

uh lol? My legion is no way near being a top level legion. in fact, you can learn a GREAT DEAL from the top level legions about base set up as not ALL of them use a CC. Its very unlikely that a top legion player will feed you false info. Most players in the top 10 legions are a pleasure to talk to and get advice from for ship builds, research levels and the like. People in the top 10 like to help newer people reach their full potential early on, so they are a force to be reckoned with.

If you want to leave your base unequipped that's your 'choice' not ours. We all know how we like our bases set up, so don't try and sway us to think your way is better.

Yes, the choice to Lock is at your 'leisure', however, FINDING a specific base is completely random even if your are specifically looking for that particular base, you could lock it after 5 scan attempts or 50 scan attempts, you will eventually find it, it is just a case of 'when' you do and during those attempts, you'll probably lock another base because of the amount of red badges you are burning through looking for that base.

There has been times in the past where my legion has disabled a base, and the next day the same base came up in our first scan attempt and since we didn't want to hit the same base twice in 24 hours, we scanned again for another one. now 3 months on, we haven't see that base at all

I'm ina legion which isn't in the Top 50. Our base is level 4 and turtle design. Few bother to attack it because it has high defences and hull. It costs 600million a day in upkeep which isn't much. The benefit of the base is the extra production for lower ranks. 10k RP means a lot below rank 100.

It takes 2 badges to scan for a base. We lock easy bases so we don't have to spend much energy to get badges. Occasionally we lock a 4 and hit it with out allies.

If I found a weakly defended level 4 base I'd definitely lock on to it whereas I'd think twice about locking a well built one like Torment's. I think a lot of lower rank legion players would do the same.

At level 4 I guess top 10 legions wouldn't bother with your base because there's little rewards. The rest of us would find your base easy pickings if it came up on our base scans.

I'll feed him false info because I like easy badges, but at least I'm honest about it.
That said, uh... 'Every time you add a defense module to your base, God kills a kitten. Don't be like us evil kitten-killers in the Top 10 Legions'

May the cat gods have pity on them... Poor kittens. tsk tsk tsk.

Im not usually interested in this kind of threads but this is way too funny and entertaining.

for those of you that insist on killing kittens (by adding defense modules to your base).. here's some music to play in the background while ya do it

catgirl lovers, you might like the video too...

seriously though... where are we heading with this thread?

LMAO! If you havn't been disabled its only because nobody has been lucky enough to scan you lately. Now you are not only open to disables from the big boys but all the little noob legions out there too! Brilliant strategy! Hope to see you soon

I wonder if Rich is a high level player from a tough level 5 base or more, reading this thread...how will he respond ?

You do understand that we'd rather kill you in 5 minutes than 5 hours? We can't hit anyone for 8 hours anyway, so I look forward to killing your base quickly and resting up for a real base attack later.

Only thing I'm getting from your argument is that your expensive defenses didn't work, so you figure there's no point in having them. It may save you money, but the scans and locks will come soon enough.

I have to agree. At the beginning, everyone went for any base for silvers to get the badge market items. Now that base combat has matured, lvl5/6 base crates is what most top legions are going for.

i wish we could find his base :/ easy kill lolz

he's probably in a legion by himself since otherwise he'd have his entire legion on his back about all this...

...i'm sure everyone already looks for lvl 4's and up that have the fewest (and lowest lvl) people in them... if he's 4 or 5, we'll find him

lmao at that link

This is the part that got me. He's extremely proud of saving his entire legion 400m a day. If a legion, even a legion of somewhat small players, can afford building a level 4 base, scraping up 400m a day across 30-50 players can't be that hard.

In the end the answer is this:

The top 10 legions won't hit you anyway because you're level 4. Lower level legions WILL hit you if they lock you because it takes a few hits to take you down and it's cheap CTP for them. You haven't been hit lately because you've been lucky lately. Trust me, all of GL does not have your legion's name written on a sticky note with a comment "Do not hit!"

while i'd prefer to hit lvl 5's all the time, there are still times (when we don't get a shared scan) that we hit super weak lvl 4's or the strongest lvl 3 we can find

And patiently drag them out long enough to fill all the badge spots...
