Will the various NPC factions also have NPC bases that a Legion can fight as a whole? Drannik Hive World, Dark Star Fortress, Crimson SunCrusher, RSL Lair, Lazuli Planetoid Base, etc.

Like the idea, though some of the names could use a little work (was thinking more RSL Central Lab among others).

+1

bosses are like NPC bases that the whole legion can fight

I was thinking of enemies with multiple parts and up to 52 shares. Really massive enemies that a whole legion or maybe two or three could team up to take down.

i already suggested this, along with npc owned planets, and npc factions that can capture your planets.

NPC Bases +1, NPC Planets +1, NPC's that can attack you directly or take your planets? -10,000,000. It's bad enough when other players attack you or take your planets.

very few npcs can actually invade high defense planets. and they would take planets that many players want to get rid of, like gas planets or anything under rich. think about it, with 4 thetacron rift fields you can keep practically any npc off your planet in the game. and if they take it, the only ppl it will affect are the very high ranking players whose only reason for not taking it back would be because they cannot afford it. but they already defend their planets so its not a big deal. npcs cannot research tech. therefore, they cannot use any researched defenses, either attack or defense. so its a free green badge (or a different color badge) to the player when they retake a planet with zero planetary defense. the only real defenses they could use would be special buildings, because those give bonuses to everyone. but players who use speical buildings usually dont get their planets invaded because the invasion defense is so high.

eh, good point, kay you've sold me.
