I am fully aware there are a few places that already state this, and i am somewhat pointless adding another thread. However, i think there is need.

Exotic matter ruins contribution by percentage. Completly.
There is always someone who ignores the announcment or rules, and drops in waay more exotic matter for no effort, destroying the efforts and motivations of those who obey the rules and are pouring energy into the base, as they cannot possibly catch up. It should be worth one tenth to one twentieth of what it is now.

Similarly, tech parts deserve to have a higher percentage. Not so much as i originally thought now that npc hunting gives so much more, but it should still be worth at least twice as much, possibly up to five times as much.

Finally, Structual Extenders. I am lucky, and many of my legion rose to the challenge to contribute, however unlike all other contributions like tech at lab, energy, etc, this contribution is almost benefitless despite being the greatest one.

Yes, it helps the legion as a whole, but for the same price they could get 8 energy recharges and permenantly put up their contribution percentage. Instead they are a footnote on the log page that is gone in a week, to be forgotten in a month.

Drop exotic matters worth, raise tech parts, and keep a record of extenders please

yes they should count

Or at least be recorded - they cost real $.

I totally agree, Exotic matter is way overvalued in % contributed calculations. Though cutting it to 1/10th as valuable is probably as far as you'd need to go. Any further and contributing it would become almost pointless.

I have already suggested a formula. Player contribution = (((player EM contributed/total EM contributed)+(player energy contributed/total energy contributed)+(player CTP contribute/total CTP contributed))/3)*100.
Structural extenders count as 1000 CTP


If you did not know EM= Exotic Matter and CTP= Complex Tech Part

There is the option to share base resources equally. It's how Coadym have set our base. The problem is there are some players who don't contribute much at all and get the same bonus as high ranked players who've contributed lots. It annoys me but I prefer to share our resources equally because it helps lower ranked players some of whom can't match the absolute value of contributions from higher ranked players but make significant contributions for their rank.

It'd be good to have a measure of research contributed to the base lab too. Discoveries are shared with the legion just like production bonus.

anybody who puts cash money into the base (these extenders for eg) should deffo get some sort of recognition...pour encourages les autres (as the french say)
maybe a plaque on the new wing..or maybe 10k extra contribution acknowledgement..or something

@Remainder
While I agree that dividing equally is fairer on the lower ranked players who have no hope, short of insane amounts of cash, to match the higher ranked players contributions some people donate 10 energy to the base then never touch it again, still qualifying for the even distribution. This doesn't seem right to me. I made a suggestion in a different post on how to split the resources.
