I think it could be a good idea to show the name of the legion who shared a base with you as a link, rather than just their name in the Incoming Base Target Lock Alerts section.
That way, instead of having to go back and forth between the Legion and Battle Tabs, you can just open the base tab, and click the name of the legion.
This because it would make communication with other bases much easier, rather than having to go back and forth several times.
Which we sometimes have to do to find out if the base can be taken or not.
I think it would make things easier.

Crazy idea, but make a facebook group and have them show the scan before they lock and then decide whether you want to take it on. If not scan for one you guys would.

Yeah, that could work, but not everyone is so into the game that they care enough to make a facebook page and go trough all the work of keeping that running.
Before you know it, its more like work than a game.
We have a facebook page, but there's really no activity there.
And im more of a casual gamer, so im not going to force people in my legion to join it.

Work? You do realize there is no work involved, right? Guess not... Even adding a hot link to the sharing legion is inefficient if you have 3 or more legions fighting together on bases. Unless Dan were to incorporate a full alliance chat setup, which of course would create its own problems, the best thing is an FB group just for the real-time chat that is available. Have some officers and/or hard core base battlers join the group then they can coordinate extremely efficiently before and during a battle. While our base group may be more dedicated than most others, The Triumvirate rarely has problems coordinating a battle. Pretty much everyone out there knows how efficiently we kill bases too, so you know it works.
