Like Races, Each base can select its class and have a unique bonus

Heavy Class -----------(30% Bonus Hull)
Military Class-----------(35% Bonus Attack)
Fortress Class----------(35% Bonus Defence)
Advanced Class--------(35% Bonus Shields)
Deathstar Class--------(5% Bonus Shield, Hull, Defence, Attack and Production)
Science Class----------(100% Bonus Research)
Mining Class------------(100% Bonus Mining)
Industrial Class---------(100% Bonus Artifact)
Docking Class-----------(10% Bonus Legion Members)
Builder Class------------(-50% Upkeep)
Engineering Class -------(-20% Energy Requirements for Upgrade)
Complex Class-----------(-20% Tech Parts Requirements for Upgrade)
Exotic Class-------------(-25% Exotic Matter Requirements for Upgrade)
Massive Class------------(+10% Both Special and Standard Space)

Something like this could be really cool, just to customize the base some.

Thus rises the issue of using percentages or component install limits......

100% bonus to an advanced base would produce SO MUCH RESOURCES!!!! would be awesome but not practical....

Yes, the details could use some work, but the general idea seems pretty good.

Could also have something like:
Residential Class- +%20 (Special) module space.....??

Attack and Defence Bonus are higher than race bonus mainly cuase race bonus covers NPC Fighting and invasions.
Eg- Konquls attack bonus benefits combat with Planets, NPC, PVP and Invasions. Legion Bases can Only attack other bases (I'm assuming that is)
Therefore it 35% bonus attack/def not 20%

Switching is available to the leaders only using 30 Galaxy Points. However, as some of you may notice, switching Base Classes may have some issues that arise.

Case 1 Issue -
Switching from Engineering Class ----> Complex Class.
As you know, Engineering Class reduces the amount of energy required to upgrade. If you switch out of the Engineering Class, the energy requirements increase again back to original prerequisites:

Base Requires

800,000 Energy to Upgrade (With Engineering Bonus) . If you switch out of it Engineering Class.

It Becomes
1,000,000 Energy to Upgrade.
This Applies to Complex Class, Exotic Class and Engineering Class

Case 2 Issue
Docking Class

If you have 61/61 Members in your legion and you switch out of the Docking Class bonus. It becomes 61/55
You will have Excess Members.

If your legion has excess members, Your base cannot attack (It can be attacked), Doesn't produce any resources, you cannot upgrade base, you cannot sell/build structures, you cannot use repair bays and shield recharging stations until this problem is resolved.


"Bonuses are rounded off the nearest whole number."

There is a Docking Class

that increases legion size not base/module space... i made correction to my post

Added




My Base output is 44.5k AP, Around 1000 AP per 24 HOURS. if i had the industrial Bonus, it's only around 90k . 2200 AP PER HOURS. I think it's fine the way it is. Maybe a Level 10 Base might have up to 600k Output with a Production Bonus, But there are alot of other Base Classes that may appeal to the Legion leaders.

a banking class would also be kewl
+%(Percentage) of credits? or is it too similar to builder class?

I had thought of that, but the Dysonians starbase has a combined of 15 Trilliion Base funds so i disregarded it. Im thinking of adding a Specialist Class, -30% Minutes on Countermeasure Timers.

And i think i should add one that reduces, shield recharging and repair timers.

that would be sweet!

tho i only have a low level base my understanding of advanced bases it to have a 'lab' or something rather. would a class have a bonus in this category??

I was thinking to add a class bonus for the hydrid labs and maybe another class bonus that allows members to move in and out of the legion without affecting loyalty bonus.

+1, I like this way of individualizing the bases more

You forgot one more class: Deathstar Class.. Obliterate any non-legion planet including mission-made Dyson/Exotic planets once every 40 hours.. That'll be fun!

+/- 1 only if Dan gets it... hahaha >:)

Dammnn, im gonna add that. sounds epic

+1

I would like it even more if Deathstar class could obliterate entire planet into asteriods where we can harvest for lot of exotic matter and tech parts for the base construction.

Haha. I can see a lowbie legion doing this.

If I can't have it no one can.

Bye bye Exotica.....
