We have a problem in our legion that as soon as our base levels up, people who have researched the next tier of logistics, and are lucky enough to be online, immediately donate massive amounts of exotic matter to the base. Because people don't use much em until the upgrade, the required amount is achieved within a few hours. This means that the players who donated the em have a huge % contribution to the base. In my opinion, donating em should be worth a lot less to contribution (even less that it is at the moment), and energy and tech parts worth more. It means that all players have a chance to get a decent amount of resources when we do resource distribution by %. Not only will this give people who are not online at the time a better chance, but it will also mean that people have to actually work to get a high base contribution.
I know that this might appeal to smaller legions, please everyone feel free to comment!

Its not just small legions. Many have suggested that there is some sort of weighted amount each should have. Others have suggested a max donation per day/week that officers can set. So far, none of it has been done by Dan.

The easiest answer until there is a programming answer is to just distribute equally to all members.

That is what we have been doing, I just like to be able to award people for generous donations. We used to have resource distribution by % on 2 days of the week, but it's got unfair to do it that way now.

Its gets worse as you move on as the amount of research needed to donate becomes insane. It can be weeks or months (if ever) before everyone can donate to the base.

Us leaders here at Subspace Alpha, we set our ow limit to EM contributions, which every1 so far has followed nicely. last time we had EM donations for the base, 1 member dumped over 300k into the base at once, so we had him kicked and never let back in.
