When dealing with players not contributing to upgrading your base, it would be nice for the leaders to be able to look up where members of the legion are with regards to base research and not simply take their word for it.

I'm thinking not showing which level of research they have researched but also how far they are along the next level.

when you have a base evenly distributing artifacts to all players it'll give a tool to the leaders to better understand what is going on with certain team members that may need some "encouragement".

If you do not trust their word, they should not be in your legion.

No

Move it to percent for a day or two a week.
Get rid of the ones that are now suddenly able to contribute.

Are you that much of a drama queen making that analogy??? aiya.......

just trying to come up with ideas on how to deal with people not contributing to the base without blindly kicking users without being 100% sure what is going on.

if I was that power hungry, they'd have been kicked already....

i was serious.
that should work.
maybe ask whos getting close a week before maybe?
so in case the timing is right accidents dont happen.

If you're that worried about it, a couple days of % will get donations rolling in. What you do with people at that point is up to you, but booting them right after they contribute won't really encourage the next guy to donate.

Basically the same argument I made against a legion-enforced tax to provide upkeep moneys for the base. No leader can possibly know the financial (and in this case, the scientific) situation of each and every member in their legion. Nor should they. What I spend my research or credits on is MY business only.

Also, keep in mind that adding stuff to level up a base is just one small part of being a good legion member. Leaders had to evaluate members on many other things before bases were even added. There is no reason why those things should just be ignored simply because there's a tally for base contributions.

Ive gifted a few members with rank increases for GP purchases, but 95% of the rank increases are due to playstyle, following our minimally short list of rules, and AIDING THEIR LEGION.
that doesnt have to mean upgrading the base (which most simply cant do), it means helping others out when they neex artifact X, or planet X, or ship advice/ what to focus on.
If you build your legion to work WITH you, rather then FOR you, youll have a much happier legion.
