There is another game out there i have not played in a very long while because it had nothing else that could really keep my attention but its called battlestation it has a system that has defenders and these defender will matched with people of like strength. it is pretty broad so you could work that in.

No offence ment, but did you even read the post? It isn't quite like this - Bit different to 'legion wars'.

anyway, the takeway for GL would be regular base vs base battles, where the bases are equivalent lvl, but are randomly matched up. attacking ships have to take on a defending ship (any non-disabled legion member) before being able to attack the base.

Sounds nice in theory, but as easy as it is to repair and get back in the fight would cause an issue unless the repairs were set at a limited number.

The hunter profesion sounds good. I'd love to be able to pick a race that has a increased chance of an elite spawning.

how about the option to trade with npc's ? each one could have a specialized product for sale, and you would have to gift or bribe them to get it. some npc's may favor certain races and willingly trade with them , even offering special deals to like-raced players. opposing races would have a harder time trading, but may get special rewards for destroying racial enemies
...and of course there would be medals for these actions to be hammered out later.....and badges......

just a thought about making encounters a little more diverse

you could also use this in pvp..... an option to have direct trade with a player from the battle tab

Generally, we are looking for ideas that involve more legion coop tasks. Medals are currently solo, and although we have plans to eventually roll out "Legion Medals" at some point, we'll need more than just base battles and upgrades to be exciting.

For instance, one of the things we hear often is that battle is simply too repetitive. Some disparate ideas have come up relating to ways to allow a legion to make strategic decisions about an encounter instead of relying solely on damage done. We'd like to work on something like that. GL doesn't really have a concept of traditional RPG roles (healer, tank, dps, support, etc), however, but perhaps having distinct choices during encounters would make them much more interesting.

Of course, this would be in addition (rather than replacing) to the system already in place.

Obviously, we need to consider how this will fit in without a complete re-design of combat, and it can't be too complex

Trading with your enemy?

they are not really your enemy until you attack them

Fine put it this way, trading with totally random people you have never before seen in your life, GL or otherwise. Happy?

why not ? imagine 2 ships passing each other in space. of course, first instinct is to go to red alert and have your crew report to battlestations. but then one might extend the proverbial olive branch in friendship, or just surrender to the superior force. . war isn't the only way to deal with an unknown entity. it's possible that the two ships have tech to trade, or knowledge of certain regions of space. diplomacy may occur, with trade being the end result. perhaps that sha-din penetrator's crew want to live, so they could offer you a sha-din algorithym to let them go in peace. maybe the captain of that rsl seige cannon needs to get his ship in position for testing and requires some info on the surrounding space. that mylarai extractor might need an escort to a planet that is occupied by an enemy of theirs, so they can extract an embassy to safety. missions spinning off from this could be anything , and could be one-shots
