Seriously, how hard is it when you're already on the page to just click Enemy Bases? It tells you right there if Your legion has disabled BlahBlahStarbase or if Your legion has established a lock on BlahBlahStarbase.

+1 to any thing that gets Darthy here worked up.

while this is nowhere close to being needed it does actually conform to the rest of the system's set up for handling alerts, so +1

Here's why Dan hasn't banned me for being a negative nancy. I actually think things out before I say yay or nay....

With base battles, you have three scenarios. A-No base locked, clear timer. B-Base is locked and alive, timer running. C-Base is locked and disabled, timer running.

A-No base locked, clear timer. Indicator = 0
B-Base is locked and alive, timer running. Indicator = 1

Now, here's where the problem occurs. What do you do with a base that is still locked, but already disabled?

C1-Base is locked and disabled, timer running. Indicator = 0
or
C2-Base is locked and disabled, timer running. Indicator = 1

If you go with C1, then an Indicator = 0 is going to be ambiguous. Either the timer is clear, or the current lock is disabled. Therefore, you would need to click the button to find out if you need to scan for a base or if you need to raid and/or twiddle your thumbs.

If you go with C2, then an Indicator = 1 is going to be ambiguous. Either the base is alive or dead. Therefore, you would need to click the button to find out if you need to attack the base or if you need to raid and/or twiddle your thumbs.

Either way you go, C1 or C2, you will have an ambiguous indicator, necessitating a click of the button. So adding an indicator like shared NPCs is going to have 0 net effect most of the time. Now, if base locks expired upon the disable of the base, this would all be moot and the suggestion would have some (not much, but some) merit. But that's not how it works, bases stay on the tab until the lock expires at 8 hours.

remember the 4th case: have an invite. thou u can consider this part of 2nd
this gets washed up by comm even faster, and is harder to track via comm cause u dont know the timer when it is shared.

I always click to check so it wont help me much, but it's one of those things that wont hurt so... as long as it's not too hard, why not

Not having idle invites in our legion, I completely forgot about that situation. I'd say that just gives more justification to just push the button...

Can we make the button rainbow colored and have it sparkle . maybe badazzle it !
