How a clock could fit in:  Just give the option in settings to set it to 1 time. Either: () Game time (predetermined, same for everyone) () Custom time [dropdown menu to choose a timezone]

How about in the battle tab next to enemy bases put a npc/pvp legion battle tab. You could set requirements such as size and strength.
Now the way it'd work is like the regular battle tab it'd bring multiple enemies in at once that the whole legion could see and to defeat the enemy forces all ships must be destroyed or have a time limit in there like base battles. Could have medals for completing a total wipe out of enemy forces (like defeating a base). Npc legions fights would have some big strong ships mixed with fighters and such.
Also next to research it looks like you can add another tab. How about abilities tab; One could utilize scan to do better critical hits; Cloak to do sneak attacks or set traps; Ships with high attack stronger weapons, Defensive ships draw enemy fire (defender would have to mark someone they're protecting). Ship abilities that could strengthen legion shields and hull and or heal shield and hull;

Agreed... The action counter would be a greater benefit than the clock, but I really don't see why both can't be easily done.

Well i have already Suggested a "Legion War" topic for discussion along time ago.
Many liked the idea, but sadly i'm not even sure if it was Considered. Given how the bases are set up, it could give ground to the idea of Searching for/LOCKING a particular Legion, (Maybe any legion in the game can auto lock the top 5 or top ten legions, like you can with the top ten players with the most kills) where only the locked legions ships appear in the battletab, instead of the random disables. Ofcourse, this is a time limited event prolly about the same time as a base lock. Then you can add in "War Badges" and/or "War Dropped" Gear/arts, prizes to the ships with the most kills/disables, prizes to the ships that defended off the most attacks without being taken out, highest hacks, highest raids, and a Legion Winner Bonus modifier for any other bonus legion prestige points for different things they (or you) can come up with.
(Just an outline)
I'd Say to prevent Grieving on Legions, a war pact would have to be signed by both leaders to initiate the war, and a countdown would ensue after the agreement was made say, 24 hrs after both leaders agree to it, to give the legions both time to prepare for Legion war operations. once the war is over, Winners get Braggin rights, badges, medals war drop gear (whatever) and the losers go home with some "thanks for playing" parting gifts (Planet arts or other such meager conciliatory prizes for participating maybe an energy cube/trimatrix)
When a legion is at war, they are effectively out of phase on the battletab and only the legion your at war with can see your ship(s)
this is just a brainstorm of ideas, so please feel free to add to the discussion. Maybe it'll spark some interest from the powers that be to bring something out of it.

There is another game out there i have not played in a very long while because it had nothing else that could really keep my attention but its called battlestation it has a system that has defenders and these defender will matched with people of like strength. it is pretty broad so you could work that in.
In simplest terms take exotica most players don't even know what happens there but the base could have defenders the base takes a percentage of damage or no damage at all if they cant get past the guards. This system should not be so complex to implement as it already exists on the planet system.
This would add some more group activities and more participation, it will also add more strategy as defenders can take out the heavy hitters. This will avoid the issues of people using halcs and other lame tactics.
The only issue is that strong legions will again have an advantage but more active legions can use strategy to stop or slow large legions down.. Battles like this dont affect players stats at all. another possible issue bases maybe considered too hard to take down.

how about :
mini-bosses that can only reward 2 players ?
a "hunter" profession that increases the chances of elites appearing, and/or increases the number of awards given ? or they could CHOOSE their reward from the possible ones given?
base duels ? opposing legions' bases are pitted head to head in direct base warfare ?
more upgrades to the repair ability that adds a buff based on the repairer's race ? this would work like the new ability to buff the hull of the repaired ship that is gained thru a medal
base blockades ?
daily missions for legion members to perform that buff base shipments ?
the ability for 2 or more ships to combine their scan for increased planet scan capability ? scanned planets would go to all the participating ships' scan list, and all participants would have to be online simultaneously
base armory/storage
goals a leader can assign to legion members, with small reward packets leaders can give for completion of the assignment.....or tickets that the legion members can accumulate to cash in for special buffs
give biologists the engineered virus ability
advanced base abilities for the other races not currently represented
when upgrading/installing structures on a planet , a button to buy the minerals needed without going to the trade tab
collect/sell all for the mineral points, also add a dark rootnode button on the mineral sub-tab
when using artifacts that you may use multiples of, for instance ship-bots, the ability to select the NUMBER of them to be used, instead of clicking one at a time.... if i have 50 of them , it would be cool to just type "50" into quantity and then just hit "use" to use 50 of them instead of clicking it 50 times....
just a few of the ideas/suggestions that hae been rolling around in my head lately....

If we have a galactic time clock, mouseover/click could list all timers.   Can we please have this but with all timers. e.g. neural interface and RSL should always be at the top, others should be organised by first to run out. We should try to keep Galactic time neutral, but i.m. guessing time will be as Dan's location, for convenience. A 20 hour Galactic Day would be nice.
