In order to get away from purging football planets and using them repeatedly, have the requirement be rank upon invading a planet you haven't invaded before.

Yes!

its kind of like that already for green badges.. you wont get a green if you attempted an invasion on that planet within the last week

i would imagine it would be difficult to keep track of what planet a particular ship has already invaded but i really dont know
however this is a good idea

Fixed that, it's very different. You can take the same planet all seven days of the week and get greens from it so long as the player controlling it is different.

oh .. well good point

football planets suck.. damn you all who do that!

what sucks even worse, is if you happen to have two planets scanned by the same owner (or have one or both alerted for you) you only get one green. which really sucks.
this should be changed to once per planet PERIOD. if the planet is worth stealing, then youll take it regardless. if its footballing cheating, then you shouldnt get any badges

It's still a hundred days to fully rank it even if you invade every day and have a hundred worthy planets to invade, plus the resources to do so of course. +1 from me.

ive got no issues with the invasion costs. which i can forsee becoming quite crippling later on, but im ok with that, its a REWARD and im going to EARN it, not cheat my way into it.

my other post was just a little rant about how things SHOULD be in regards to planet thefts.

LIEZ! FOOTBALLS ARE AWESOME!

Also, it's very hard to unlock the Atlas ship design without them.

I don't support the idea. If you're rich enough/lucky enough to get the Ally, then you shouldn't be weighed down with extra restrictions as to how you can level it up.

7/10 on that mission just from regular planet invasions it's not hard to get just keep taking planets you want and eventually you'll get it not exactly hard now is it...
