i have a very good idea for all legion's for base funds as many member join the legion taking research points
mining and others and never give back to the base.
and leader's most of time waste all there credit on base,
now this idea is very simple
if galaxy legion can great this new setting to the game(base)
as the leader's can have this simple option to add an interest to the base funds from its members
for example the leader can put 5% or 10% interest to be taken daily from each member automaticly from his credit
this way it would be fair.and the legion would never need to worry about this issue as we deal with it every day
please vote up with thumbs up if you like this idea...many thanks
the idea especially is for those with low rank,as they cant afford much credit and those with high rank always have to pay up for them,and they never bother paying any fund's so with the interest everyone pay'e equally .

i have a better idea... let the funds run out and see how quickly your legion decides to drop their own money in to correct the problem

lol they i dont think they would as most of members would leave haha
but this problem is general about all legion's not only our's.

hehe.. yah i know... i've put several billion into my legion's base in the past, but recently i've been focusing on planets and haven't been able to spare any.... trying to get my mining up right now to have the free cash to spare...

...but yeah, a daily "legion tribute" pulled from all members would be a nice optional feature... possibly

-1 but hear me out

how about instead of making it a base feature how about a player setting ..they could decide the % that they would like to give 5%,10% ect and then add a tab to base where u can see the % that each member is putting in this would make it so your legion members dont feel like there being taken advantage of ...also lets the leaders see who is slacking off

If players aren't contributing, then just set shipments to be based on contribution for a while. The other thing to think about is that the leaders are the leaders for a reason. You can't expect to make a legion and have all the new players dump their credits at the drop of a dime.

Seethe base to contribution until all members begin to donate to the base every now and then. Or, unequip some things to lower the credits it takes. Also, the leaders should understand that usually there is a group of people in every legion that does more work.

A method of just taking the money from players is so open to abuse it's not even funny. Or, it'll just deter people from joining a legion to avoid losing money...

Edit: For instance, I bank about 5-10bil/day. Why in the world would I join a legion if the "tax", at say 5%, is going to take 250mil-500mil at the lowest?

My main point is, forcing someone to give something no longer becomes a donation to the legion and will usually result in members leaving.

-1 Too many people run too close to not covering their ship's upkeep from time to time. This could put them over the top (or under the bottom as it were) and end up damaging their ship creating a whole slew of problems.

I'm in the same boat as Lone.Lycan, I've donated bunches to our base, but right now I'm looking at doing significant upgrades to my ship (quasi's, trans-entropy drives and proxies) in the next few weeks. 233.7B credits on top of losing sale value on 1050 Aidonium and 38,400 Kurenite. I'll donate when I can, thank you very much, I don't need our leader taking a cut from my bank account like some feudal lord.

The problem raising funds for your base lies not in the system, but in the players. And every player is different and has different credit responsibilities.

Or you just get your base to 6 and not very many have the new research to contribute yet....

Most are good about contributing..

Thank you Mr. Irrelevant Poster. This has nothing to do with the discussion because there is no research requirement for credit donation....

-1. I barely keep up with upkeep, let alone at 90% of my mining...

lol guys have yall read my alternative i want to kno what u guys think

It's better than the OP. But I still think we shouldn't be forced to contribute. I'll contribute when I have the money, except the legion I'm in doesn't need my help...

my option wont force anyone it voluntarily ...so idk what u mean ?

This is what Contribution is for... members donate, the base shows a list of who has donated and what they have donated and also the percentage total that they have donated.

This is just an automated way of doing it, but it's still the person doing it, i.e. it's no different than what's there now, just another way of saying it

Vette... we're talking about money donated to the base to cover base upkeep, which for lvl 5+ bases is several billion credits per day

I understand that, and I know it's not easy, but:

1. The original post 'steals' it from people. Members should donate to bases, but they shouldn't be forced to because what if they go on vacation and can't get their minerals? They might have enough for upkeep, but introduce another amount taken and either 1) they'll have severely damaged weapons or 2) if it's just another tax, they'll have a harder time building it up

2. The alternative idea was a setting that took the money from members and put on the legion tab what % people were giving... how is this different than the person donating and the legion showing what all everyone has donated (which is exactly how it is now)?


I understand what's being discussed, I'm just saying the OP suggestion was not beneficial and has a whole slew of problems and the "alternative" is no different than what we already have (it's just making it a setting, but it's no different in the end).

I think a way to minimize this problem is to have a Public to the Legion, list of all the credits a players has donated to the base.

and also list all members' current upkeep, current credits, current mineral production, and average daily amount spent on repairs in the past week

yeah... that sounds good... mmhmm... and we can see who exactly needs to be contributing more than they currently are

You forgot upgrading ship mods...
