I think that players that attack a base should be alerted to the legion that owns the base. This would allow people to counter attack the players attacking their legion. While I know that this would make the killing of high level bases much more difficult in the case of active legions, It would add an entirely new tactical element to the game. It would also require a truly concerted effort to kill an upper level base. Think of a squad of fighters flying out to counter an attack. it's more realistic.

If you want to add even more realism, you could add a DOCK/PATROL switch on the legion tab. When "DOCKED" players would be able to defend bases, but not attack npc's. When on "PATROL" , players would be able to npc, but there would be a return timer say 60 or 90 minutes or whatever Dan decides. You can return to base to assist in a defense, but it has to take time like it would in real life.

right now when a base is under attack, there really is nothing for most players to do but watch the health bars and hope for some of the attackers to show up on their bt. It would add an awesome pvp / realistic dimension to the game without a change in the basic mechanics of the game.

For those of you that would say this would really be a disadvantage to small legions, i think that ultimately it changes nothing. Small legions don't really have much hope of killing a larger legion base anyway. I'm sure this will upset the people who are obsessed with stats.

this idea makes it harder to kill big bases it makes it harder for higher ranks to get good base loot. I know that But every other idea i've read is kind of more of the same. bigger weapons, more buffs. There will still be less active level 5 bases, anything higher than that will probably be pretty well defended..... so what? This would be fun. This would really encourage inter legion conflict, which after all, is what this game is about.

I hope ya'll give this idea lot's of thought, i think it would be really fun.

That seems alot better than the other similar ideas. +1 I like it. Speaking of base battles im defening mine right now doing a good job too.

Both the docking to defend and the list of attacking ship have been suggested MANY times before , this is just going to get shoot down again.

sorry i don't have time to read the entire history. if it has been suggested that many times, it must be a good idea. no point in not trying.
