After you reach, say, rank 150, how about a new mission opens up called "Professional Training" - this would be a single completion mission. Completion "upgrades" your professions, allowing you two choices: 1) Specialisation - You gain a 2nd level profession (I'll get to it later) 2) Diversify - You can pick up a second profession, suitable to your race, at a reduced (50%-66%) effectiveness. A general idea of how this could work is here: You could change which one you wanted by completing a repeatable mission (change special/diverse, or change what you specialise/diversify in). Biologist: 15% population Builder: 20% reduced upkeep Excavator: 5% bonus artis Explorer: 10% more scan Fixer: 10% more hull Governor: events 2x more likely Hacker: 15% hacking strength Merchant: 15% more cargo Miner: 5% more minerals Physicist: 10% more shields Raider: 15% more raiding Saboteur: Disables an structure, reducing it's effectiveness by 50% for 4 hours Spy: 10% more cloak Some of the more "exploitable/useful" professions have been nerfed more than others, namely fixer, Physicist and saboteur. You could change which one you wanted by completing a repeatable mission (change special/diverse, or change what you specialise/diversify in). If you choose specialise, you gain one of two extra profession traits. (the following are just examples of what this could be - open to suggestions) Biologist 1) Bio-Chemist --> Population "resilience" increases, halving the effect of a engineered virus. 2) Bio-Physicist --> Your crew benefit from your knowledge of alien anatomy, making them stronger. Raid gains are increased by 30%, and crew are less likely to die. Builder 1) Architect --> Planetary build costs are reduced by 20% 2) Engineer --> Ship module build costs are reduced by 40% Excavator 1) Archaeologist --> A further 10% bonus to artifact income from desert, Terra, Gaia and Barren worlds. 2) Excavation Expert --> Provides ability "excavate", which grants the player 1 random artifact worth over 1599 AP. Cooldown: 8(?) hours Explorer 1) Deep-space Explorer --> Your "planets scanned" total is reduced by 15% for scanning purposes 2) Covert Explorer --> All your planets gain a passive 1000 cloak for whilst you have this profession. Fixer 1) Repairman --> Repair cost cap reduced by 25% (down to 150M) 2) Mechanic --> Repair timer is reduced by 2 minutes (down to 3 minutes) Governor 1) Inquisitor --> Temporary planet event effects are increased by 50% (eg pure deposits give +15% instead of +10%) 2) Strategist --> Population REDUCED by 20%, but planet defence increased by 10% Hacker 1) Bypasser --> Gives a 50% chance of NOT tripping a QFT when hacking 2) Security Expert --> When you successfully hack an enemy, your raid chances against them increase by 20% for 1 hour. Merchant 1) Trader --> Once every 8 hours, you may trade in any artifact and you will be refunded 50% of the AP cost 2) Secure Merchant --> Your cargo hold is well fortified. You gain 1 point of hull for every 100 cargo space you have. Miner 1) Diversionary Miner --> Mineral tax is reduced to 15% 2) Rad Miner --> Mining bonus increases to 15% on toxic and Irradiated worlds. Physicist 1) Defensive Physicist --> Your shields "reflect" 5% of damage taken (ie for every 100 points your shields take, the attacker takes an extra 5 damage) 2) Energy Specialist --> You can use your energy to recharge your shields. 5 energy returns 100 shield points Raider 1) Vengeful Raider --> If you are fail-raided, there is a 50% chance that you will counter-raid. You CANNOT lose crew from this. 2) Mercenary --> PvP attack increased by 5% Saboteur 1) Infiltrator --> You can choose what building gets sabotaged. 2) Dissasembler --> You are given ALL resources used to build the building you sabotage (minerals and credits) Spy 1) Assassin --> NPC attack increased by 5% 2) Information Broker --> Ability "Extort" - You are granted 50% of a planet's output for 4 hours. During this time, you are targetable by the owner. If disabled by anyone the effect ends. May only be used on the same planet within 3 days. |

It's a neat idea, but I'm not sure if it's a bit I don't know, pointless I suppose. We already have proffesion and race bonuses, why would we really need another one? But then again it would diversify things so a +0 from me. |

Lazuli Fixer-Physicst. So much HEALTH. Or a Builder-Miner for someone stuggling with upkeep. Vygoid Excavator-Miner (20/10/5 - YAY!) |

Saboteur: Mercenary: 5% increase to PvP attack Assassin: 20% increase to cloak (stacks with Zolazin, effectively gives a 64% increase) |

Yo Blue, should be 10% rise for cloak, as there is already Spy, which, if chosen as a second, would drop to 10%. Personally, I'd choose sab second anyways. I think Zolazin has Builder... Zolazin Builder Sab would be fun. |

Just to make clear, it's either/or. You could have a spy/saboteur, OR a Assassin (sabotage + the 10/20% cloak) |

Love it. As always Spyder your idea is well thought out and detailed. +1 from me |

I'd say yes, cause it would give an actual benefit to ranking up which is rather lacking atm(well, after a certain point such that planet slot hardly matters)... In fact I would support multiple tiers instead of just two. Possibly unlocking only a small upgrade on 1st, a bigger upgrade OR a 2nd class on 2nd etc.... |

After that, it'd say SOMEBODY And I agree - invincibles/non-enemy planets would be immune to this. strm avenger wrote: spyder wrote: Fixer 2) Mechanic --> Repair timer is reduced by 2 minutes (down to 3 minutes) I don't see this being all that useful to be honest.

And against bases... I'd imagine you'd have to repair every 2-3 minutes anyway. This could save a few nanodrones for some people. |

But when you hit 200m repairs buying nanodrones off the market is about the same price as using a manual credit repair so your not really saving a money by credit repairing |
