I say call it Exotic anarchy....cause no one seems willing/able/desirous of taking it. 2 months is obscene...also sad in many ways... So glad i got the medal years ago. Kudos to PA, totally worth it for the max base buff and the style points..sad for rest of galaxy.. Nuff said. |

Throw more contested planets into the mix, each doing their own cool thing. No restrictions on them (aside from loyalty) other than legions being unable to hold more than one at a time. Some examples off the top of my head:
Each legion will benefit differently from them, so things should keep rolling without turning into a state of stalemate like we have now. Obviously the specifics are left to Dan, but I'm sure you get the general idea. |

Its just the powercreep. All it takes is one good ship online and the planet stays with its current owners, and given most top legions have at least a couple of good ships on at all times any planet like exotica can be kept indefinitely. Only way to handle this imo is to introduce a timed mechanic. So, say during the vorean extinction, all players in the legion can see the planet vorea which is subject to all the usual exotica rules, and control of it grants the legion a buff. When the mission times out the owner keeps the planet BUT as its no longer on scan any time a guard is bumped off they're stuck off untill the next time the legion mission rolls around. If invaded the proc for a planet flux triggers removing it from the owners planet database so they can only see it if the legion mission rolls around again or is still up. This will keep the contested element there but ensure no one legion can keep it constantly as eventually all the guards will die off it. As it stands exotica is unlikely to move unless someone really wants it to. And most of those people have got their medals already. |

in 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 |
