i dont know if this would even be possible but i wonder if maybe a more tailored aproach to base shipments could be used because the 2 modes that are there are very limiting for a legion(note this probably wouldnt be all that usefull to the bigger legions as the production would be very high anyway)

equal distribution is great all players get equal share very fair and i like it a lot but it has problems like new players who jion would get just as much as those who have spent months or longer slaving into the base wouldnt bother me but some people might feel a bit pride stung

also by percentage put in can be very unfair as certain players in any legion may not contribute directly with energy ematter or ctp but have very important roles in other ways some spend gp on a base but get no percent reward others may build higher teched modules in the base but that doesnt add to thier percent donated

personally i would prefer an adjustable rate for each player for each resource that way smaller players can get a very big boost in a legion if others are willing to sacrifice a few days less in a resource from thier shipment just as much at higher ranks research can be desperately needed for some of the very high end tech while minerals may already be more than enough for the players needs

with a player by player adjustable rate(i know its a lot of kaffufle and messing about) then small players could have a large arts boost say for a few days while everyone else gets thier normal shipment of any other resources the base produces this would utilise the true meaning of team work where small ships could be boosted if every day for a week at rank 20 or even 40 they would get 20k arts in one go to collect may aid in a few ship bots or rescued early game

also research again if the smaller ranked players in a legion got 10 thousand a day for a few days thenthis could really aid them in tech to help tham catch up with donating to the base or even ship mods that make them less vounrable

(note base shipments would have to be set to equal for this i think) with programmin it would be easy so that you could click a player if you were a leader and the 3 resources were shown on a tab and you could then set an amount that the player got for each individual resource produced by the base. there could also be a little box that then told how much of the resource would be left over after that players amount was taken from daily production and by how many it would be devided by(this feature would help for when multiple players had resources changed by a leader)

not sure how functional or wanted this would be but happy to hear others thoughts about it

+1

a few things i realised after posting this is this actually may have benifits for the top legions

playerrs who have fully completed all research could willing drop some research from thier daily in exchange for a little more of another resource

players could internally trade off resources between themselves asking the leader to change the required resource by the required number

also this would allow for legion leaders to in small ways reward certain players in a very specific manner

another thing would be to have the ability to give much higher costing builds of ships morte minerals to help fund thier ships and such

to me that would really open up a true sence of team work and flexibility a fighting squad needs

I didn't read the full thing , but it sounds like you should just start doing what the big legions do. About an hour before the shipment change it to % split for 1-3 days a week and the other days keep it at even split. It is best to do your % split days all in a row.

I like this idea but what's to stop you from giving 100% to one person our base produces about 1.4m in research daily that given to a rank 50 would put everyone else around him at a severe disadvantage.

very valid piont maybe a limit on how much daily a person can recieve per rank

easy formula say allow 500 research per rank meaning 25k is most a rank 50 can get in a base shipment i am pretty sure that the biggest legions equal shipments would be over that so a reasonable limit could be set aswel as a reasonable limit to the other resources aswell. a formula like that would also stop rank 10's being boosted too high but still allow higher ranks who would need the higher number to have lots more allowed

using your 1.4 mill as a guide 1.4 mill devided by 50 is 28000 so if a rank 3 jions you(i doubt you would take one but for talks sake)

then even if you had 60 members and base was set to equal they would get 23333 for thier daily same as everyone else that would pretty quickly boost thier tech levels at such a low rank

even if a formula wasnt used you could just have caps for set ranks like no higher than 25k for rank 50 and under and no higher than x amount for rank 100 and under and so on

good spotting tho i hadnt even thought of that till you posted so i much apreciate your reply

Yea there would have to be some restrictions just to stop it being abused would be to be to easy to research tech if the legion could focus that much research into a single player.


Perhaps a sliding scale next to each player that officers and leaders could see so they could manually adjust the amount between legion members so they could adjust how they see fit (within parameters) of course.

thats a good idea i like that a lot and would be happy to see that instead of simple number change

again you are very right about making this system completely unabusable it would make it more likly to be used if there was no way to abuse it
