my suggestion about contested planets, i included links to all the previous contested planets ideas that i could find.
i like AF's suggestion that contested planets be exclusive - your legion can only control one at a time, but you get scan access to all of them upon completing the Exotica mission. however, you can not attack another contested planet if your legion already controls one, so you have to wait for another legion to take your contested planet first.
my thought would be to introduce 8 new contested planets, one associated with each of the original set of 8 legion missions:
- Assault on Crimson Deep-6
- Carthyne Symposium
- Foundry of War
- Galakis, City of Deals
- Illegal Excavation
- The Siladon Event
- The Xathe Vortex
- Vorean Extinction
the legion mission contested planets won't have Exotica's production boosts. if the legion has control of the associated contested planet, an optional task will become accessible. if the legion loses control of the LM contested planet before the end of the LM, anyone who is on the optional task automatically fails their task
- adds value to the original 8 legion missions for longer term players
- legions can still park on Exotica .. but doing so would give up on the optional LM tasks
- can introduce a new medal for conquering each of the LM contested planets
