I like it, but I'd be seriously pissed if I ended up #51 on the damage list...

i like the idea of the npc scaling to the average legion strength. i dont think thats been suggested before. sounds cool! as for bases, im hoping NPC bases are incorporated into the base scanning system we'll get when bvb comes out. id like to see this as an actual ship enemy. something that perhaps dropped 2x stryll prisoners, a percentage reactor (even 2% max 3) and a percentage cannon (even 2%, max 4)

I like the entity, but the stats would have to be matched to the individual legion that was taking it out, as my legion can't deal with 4M hull+ shields

1. It gives a reward to every legion member that attacks it(don't want to leave out the lowbies) but if a leader of the legion decides someone is exploiting he can ban him from getting rewards.
2. It's hull/shield scales with TOTAL rank of legion.
3. Attack/defense scales with average legion strength.
4. Drops the same 3 things(Yes three, to make it rewarding) to all players.
I'll use an example from Star Trek Online, against my own legion

Perhaps, but with a few changes.

Crystalline Entity
196040 shield
196040 hull
4539 attack
4537 defense
Ability: Shard swarm(All megabosses have 1/50 chance to activate their ability, because all of the abilities will most likely be OP): 50% chance to instantkill player(It does that in STO, it launches instakill shards at you and you have to kill them quick)
Rewards top 52 players

When you kill it: Misterspork is rewarded: Shard Launcher, ship weapon: 5 space 2000 attack Crystal Propulsion, ship thruster: 5 space 2000 defense Crystal Attractor, ship device: 10 space, Grants ability; Crystal Attraction; Trap, provides player or planet 5000 attack and 5000 defense upon activation, lasts 2 days. Usable once every 4 days. Costs(scales with rank)

I'm horrible at balancing, so you can think up any stats you can think up.
