"Sword Of Chains unleashes a powerful virus into the systems of your ship, lowering your attack by 90%"

Ok, what's the point of working my rear off to build up 49275 tactical officers when someone can just go to their base, push a button, and do this?

At a minimum, this should have done a hack atttempt check against my scan and cloak. That way I'd at least have some sort of defense against it. Same agrument goes for other attack and defense debuffing artifacts and abilities.

That doesn't wash because when this occurred, my legion didn't have a base locked.

Here's the error message that prints when I click on the base name in the alert: "Your legion does not have an active target lock on this base"

Yeah, that's fine if I'm online but when I'm not, this is used to simply turn my weapons off and turn my ship into an easy target. There's too many Office Depot EASY buttons in this game. If you want that, why not just put a "I WIN" button in and just be done with it.

it quite easy, if you dont want to risk beeing hit by the Remote Intrusion base ability - then Dont hit bases

as for not having a base locked and still beeing hit by it, that's a known bug
the thing is if you lock a base, that legion can keep using the Remote Intrusion base ability against your legion, until a new legion locks theire base

but the ability hits at random, so they have no way to controle who it actualy hits and it can be removed with a Cage
so not realy a huge problem
