WARNING REPOST (sort of)

So, to build off of a previous ideas, i think we need a legion artifact bank through the legion base. I went to go send a friends legion several artifacts, and then realized i couldnt because this system isnt in the game. Now, this would function almost exactly the same as the legion bank.

On the subject of banks, i think we need a new restriction setting added in. Now, many legions if not all are set to leader and officer only on restrictions for credits. What i would like to propose is that leaders have the option to have a checkbox next to each legionmate's name on whether or not to allow them to withdraw, and then 3 bullet mark things to choose from.

1) Matched Contributions: Legionmate is allowed to withdraw funds up to the amount totally deposited.

2) Unlimited Withdrawl: pretty much what we have now. youre allowed to withdraw up to the maximum amount of credits that are in the bank.

3) Custom Amount: Leader or officer enters a custom amount that the player is allowed to withdraw. This would make it much easier to pay people for planets or merc work.

This would apply to artifacts in the way that you 1) put in say 10 artifacts and then can withdraw up to 10 artifacts. Or, put in 30k credits worth of artifacts and then you can withdraw up to 30k credits worth of artifacts. 2) withdraw as many artifacts as you want. 3) withdraw a set amount of artifacts or a set value of artifact worth.

Now, the reason i'm suggesting this is because of two reasons. The first is that i would like to help out my friends and the legions they are in. Often i have extra of artifacts other players need for one reason or another. Because i'm not always in contact with my friends on a day to day basis, but i know they would be helpful, i would like to send them some stuff. Also, because i'm not always sure that the leader of the legion will distribute the artifacts fairly, i'd like to just send the artifacts to a legion and have them be a free for all.

The second reason i'm suggesting this is because i, like many others, are still working on the ct lab artifacts. Instead of begging or asking around for artifacts some players have an overabundance of, it would be nice to be able to deposit artifacts and be able to withdraw other artifacts. What i mean is, say i have all 3 aegis capacitors, but i still need the gravimetric flumes. I would then deposit some extra shield amps and withdraw some nanite swarm capsuls.

Now, i realize there are several problems with the method above. So, i would like to clarify. Only tradeable artifacts can be sent to legions or deposited in legion bases. Yes, i realize this may give players unlimited cargo. especially in one man legions. But consider this. One man legions often have cargo multis anyway, so it dosnt matter. This would cut down on the amount of multis in the game if new players arnt strained with the necessity of having extra cargo without spending rank points. And again, this would only affect one man legions or 'family' legions where its a husband and wife who are playing. Secondly, in repetition, only tradeable artifacts would be able to be deposited. This way androids and other permabuffs would not be able to be sent. Another way players could exploit this is by depositing vast amounts of probes into the bank so that they could withdraw either an equivalent number of artifacts, or an equivalent value. but think of it this way. Flux probes are worth about 1250 credits, whereas a drannik sab is worth 8000 credits. so you would need to deposit 4 probes to remove 1 saboteur. again, this may seem unbalanced, but as with most legion oriented activites, they are based on the honor system. So unless dan is willing to change the values of several artifacts to the going rate in the future trading post, it will have to remain at the current values.

*Now, as an addition to this idea, i would like to add three options
1) Withdrawl Caps: Say a leader wants to give a gift out. They have 20 people in their legion. They deposit 20 Neural Interfaces, and set a withdrawl cap of 1. This would allow every player in the legion to withdraw 1 neural interface, and save almost 2 hours in wait time to send 1 neural to everyone in the legion.

2) GP Deposit: Any artifact that can be bought with gp would then have the option to be deposited into the legion bank or the players cargo. So, if a player wanted to deposit a holiday gp item and hold a raffle or a contest on who can deposit the most to the base or whatever, then they would deposit the gp artifact into the bank, and then the winner would then withdraw it. For some of the richer players out there, this can be used in conjunction with the withdrawl cap to give out gp gifts.

3) Reserved Tags: Mainly for players who hold contests within their legion, and especially award gp prizes. The ccer will deposit the gp artifact into the legion bank, and then add a reserved tag to the item. Only one reserved tag can be used at a time to prevent players from storing all their items in the legion bank. When they deposit the item, they can reserve it for the winner, and then the winner can withdraw, or 'claim' the prize.

+1 i like the idea. I scrap alot of the items i get from a shipment and i just don't have the time to ask everyone if they want this and this. It's such a long process. Now a while back i thought of an idea and it was having a bank for cargo like u would be able to store things to save space in your cargo somthing like special space. But i never posted it coz i thought everyone would not like it,anyway what im suggesting here is that with this bank u suggested would be the legion bank,but also everyone would also have their own bank which they could strore and withdraw artifacts. Now say an ally legion trades 50 drannik sabs it wuld go into the legion base,but say if a member wants a DS then the leader would send it to that member's bank. Now the capacity for each persons bank could start at 10k and could be increased with an artifact dropped from an NPC maybe. Now your idea plus this would be good together.

the only question i have with your idea is how is it different from cargo? our cargo holds are already kind of like what ur suggesting, in that we keep our items in it, and then when people send us artifacts and minerals it goes into it. If your asking for separate cargo holds for minerals and artifacts, that may be a good thing. especially at low levels. but having 10k extra cargo from the get go seems a bit much. i'm at 10k cargo now and i still dont have it filled.

i like the idea of a cargo bay for the legion base but think it would be better if anyone can put send able artifacts in but only the leader or leader and officers depending on base setting can give them out to members.

Yes Vekno i was suggesting a seperate cargo hold for minerals and artifacts. And your right 10k is a bit much.



Yes that is a good suggestion.

that system is already in the game. i'm not suggesting anything be removed, only added. when i'm leader, there are some members i trust more than others. i also dont want to set it to everyone when we have guests in our legion because most people are dishonest. the system i suggested above is a more detailed and modified version of the 'everyone' setting. Leader only and leader/officer only will still remain in the game.
