We should have one homeworld planet for each race. This planet would be instantly placed in a players planet database, you can only remove it if you change your race. Only members of this race can permanently have it in their database. Whoever owns this planet gets 5% of all resources gained from the planets of other members of this race. If you get 500 MP from one of your planets, the homeworld owner gets 25 MP, leaving you with 475 MP. This would be a tax system. But when it comes to your planets being attacked by members of your race as well, the homeworld, just being around, grants you an extra 20% att/def/inv. def. against members of the same race. Even against the owner of the homeworld. And the homeworld can be guarded by members of other legions, but only of the same race.

In addition, all who guard the homeworld, they get a certain amount of credits based on their rank and battle statistics. Their tax rate is cut from 5% to 2%.

Check previous suggestions. There is at least 5 threads on homeworlds and 3 more about player-owned starbases (as a home base).

OMG! 5% THE xxx!? NO WAY! The Owner of the home world even if they were the top ranked player of the game would make SO much income from this that it would be SICK! and if there is going to be a tax it should have some actual benefit to the others! My god if I could capture that planet I would spend all day guarding it and put nothing but attack and defense stuff on it, and check on it constantly to refresh traps and stuff. That would be toooooo OP!!

Maybe 0.005% or something..

or how about every player gets a 'homeworld' planet that gives them some intrinsic bonus for planets of that type, but which if stolen they lose their bonus, and the bonus cannot apply to other players, only to the original owner. It would be a designation, and you could set any of your planets as your "Homeworld" effectively making it simply your "Capital"

There is only one Homeworld per race. There should only be one. I am willing to reduce the tax rate. I stand by the rest of my idea.

something tells me this will end up exactly like exotica, and that is a complete disaster.
we don't need an exotica for every race.

exactly.
