What are the 3-4 Govt. sytems that will be set up? What will the Legion Bases be like? What will Facebook credits have to do with Galaxy Legion?

facebook credits are an alternate way to buy gp

Well, I'll reveal a *few* details

* Legion bases will involve a collaborative effort for the whole legion, involving upgrading them over time with large deposits of energy and materials.
* bases will have spaces where modules can be installed, but they will also have special slots for unique types of upgrades.
* Base PvP will be a legion vs base system. One legion at a time can 'target lock' a base, in which it will have a limited time as a group to finish the base off before the timer expires. If they manage to do this, they will be awarded with silver badges and other potential goodies. Legions will receive multipliers to their base bonuses for keeping their own base alive as long as possible. So there are incentives on both sides.
* Once a new target lock is established, the base 'resets' to full HP and shields to prepare for a new engagement with another legion. Bases will be found with a new scanning interface.

Some of the special base slots may include:
* Docking Port (increases max legion size)
* Embassy (increases max treaty amount)
* Bank (allows withdrawal of base funds)
* Repair Bay

Also, depending on how much we want to roll out in the first wave, we may decide to merge the government system with the capabilities of the bases themselves, by having players choose a base 'type'.

any date for when this is coming?

Whenever it is, the sooner the better!

This sounds like a seriously good update Dan. The game just gets better with each new update.

This sounds awesome.

That is all.

Can't wait for the Updates forum to have the yellow checkmark...

lol yeah, seriously. this sounds epic!!!

Will there be any bonuses to Defenses / Attack if you dock your ship at the base?

GL going more social/team oriented I think is important to keep things fun. I always felt that had it not been for finding friends and legion coordination, I'd have just used my energy and moved on but this game keeps me engaged, and new features are coming out all the time to make it a better game. I think this is great.

I hope the money I have spent lately has kept you supplied with Pizza and Mt Dew the 2 most basic supplys of programmers and hackers

CUZ I SOOOOOO WANT THIS

Apparently I am not the only one who thinks this.

MAKE IT NOW PLOX!

I C-A-N-N-O-T wait!!! It would be best update since the inception of legion system in place last fall! Yeah, I would like a "full" package when it rolls out. More legion-related additions to the GL is always welcome. I was SO excited last fall when legion system finally came in because it was a true, first legion-related feature added to GL.. I never forget that when I immediately broke off DOO and formed The Dysonians Legion few hours after it had gone live.. Best move ever. I think Legion Base will motivate players more to work together as supposed to.. I already saw some lax in team effort lately because GL doesn't offer much team-related stuff yet.. This addition is a good move..

i agree with nocifer, however i would be willing to wait a little longer so that we could get the full package. patience always pays off in the end. so, no rush. just know the community is extremely excited!

But what are the Government types in the game?

agree.+1

an increase to max members would be pretty sweet. that means more bonus for full legions

It also means a greater disparity between strong legions and not quite so strong legions. If you don't understand the significance of that, talk to anyone that remembers the "good ole days" of Disciples of Orion...

Lol. It won't be same as DOO that had almost 300 members. I do expect that max would be SMALL increase maybe 60 max from 50 but takes long time to achieve 60. 60 won't make or break the game. 300 members legion isn't practical at all and it won't be fun at all.. Too high inefficiency and it definitely won't keep team together like close knit community. I really love 50 members max and I get to know everyone easy.. I don't mind increase to 60 or something like that and STILL can know everyone in my legion..
