i think it would be cool if leaders <or an officer> had some abilities Being a leader I like this so far

first off , you would have to limit the number of leaders <and officers>, so if couldn't be exploited Agreed, say 4 leaders and 6-8 officers?

ok how about these potential abilities :

repair legion mates at no cost and no timer...self repairs would still have a timer and cost Should be half the cost for officers and 1/4 for leaders so it's a bit more realistic

buff legion members 5% att/def , or 5% scan/cloak , 5 times a day , different targets each time How about a cooldown of say 4 hours and stacks to 3 uses?

reduced time for sending minerals and artifacts Agreed

double the daily planet and pvp shares Maybe also an ability to remove the timer for 1 person per day, shared amung leaders so you can't exploit.

free or reduced cost coms to legion members I'd personally like free use to legion members.

can expand the number of rewards dropped by shared elites As much as I like this idea I think it can be easily exploited.

boosts stats when guarding a legion member's planet by a small % more than normal Agreed. Since leaders represent the legion there should be (realistically) an intimidation factor. So say an extra 5% boost to planet guarding and extra 3% for officers.

can see who disabled a legion member , but not target them , just send comms? Wouldn't have much use. Could explain, but I don't want to.

some of these would be cool for an officer also
tell me what ya think !

I can see multis abusing this

that's why the number of leaders should be limited...read the whole thing please

+1, but has to have a timer of some sort. 2 repairs per legionmate per 24 hour period.



-1 just overall its an idea that makes little sense. How would a leader or officer of a different ship(which might even be weaker), be able to make your ships attack/defense higher or employ higher scan/cloak, especially once you have all mods installed.
a good leader bolsters the morale and fighting spirit of his subordinates, hence increases ability


if within the legion yes
obviously


-1 to this too, don't see why just officers/leaders should have the ability to both be able to alert a planet to share and then be able to "flux protect" a planet should one of their own planets be taken.



If a player is offline then yes, if they're online then no, as they should read the legion comm for any messages for them.



-1, because i don't see how they would be able to affect what drops from an enemy ship, we do have to have some resemblence of realism in the game afterall. :p
you want realism ? take out energy cubes and trimatrixes...


-1, as nice an idea as it sounds, for what reason would the % be increased?
because a leader coordinates the troops for more efficient def/att


-1, people can already use the legion comm to report disables/hacks/raids/planetary stealing, should they feel the need, i think its a bad idea to introduce a feature which would likely mean less use of the legion comm(especially since i've been in a legion where most only ever used the comm to report such things).
