I think that when all ships of a legion have docked at the base, then they unite all of their abilities(att/def/scan/cloak) with the bases ability. When it comes to scanning, the base can have its own planet database. Legion members can use this database only when docked at the base. When players share a planet, it becomes permanent in the legion base, unless a flux is used.
All planets scanned by the base will remain at the base. You can't take the info when you leave the base.

i feel like ive heard this before... have you previously suggested it?

Yes, but no one responded to it and I wanted some feedback from others.

i think its a good idea, i like it alot

how about this? to make a legion fully co-operative, all planets scanned are in a legion database if they are occupied by a legion member or shared at any point, once someone leaves the legion, they loose that database and anything they share or own gets purged automatically. This will let you protect a legion-mates planet even if he is away, just another incetive to have a large active legion, which might solve the problem of all these "one-man" legions

-1 to combining the stats. you realize we're gonna have to kill these, right? its hard enough to take down a graxis with 2300 defense. if my top 3 players in my legion all guarded, and only the top 3, we would add an extra 5k defense... and our top guys arnt even over 300! just imagine the dysonian base. mojo alone has over 66000 hull.

Actually this sounds like a good idea. You automatically share planets with your legion until you leave and you get alerts on when other member legion planets are under attack. You get to go protect friendly planets.

-1 if you scan something it should be up to you if you get to keep it to yourself or not my last legion went downhill really fast so i left if i had shared my planets with the base then all the moderates would be able to take a crack at it when they got to be higher up i know my old legion wouldn't do that but in certain cases it isn't exactly friendly when a person leaves

when you leave, all the planets you had in the database leave with you, to prevent this

lol not yet but getting close now. lol Now if you count in shield with it then yes I have over 66K HP fully buffed.
