I think you should add a world com to the game, this way people can recruit from it a lot easier than having to go to the forums or post to each individual player themselves. its too time consuming and people that have to work and cant sit here all day can get members to join there legion. also it would help out if any players are new and want advice as well just to chat. ya require at least 25 energy to post so this way people cant just spam the com or even 50 energy would be good but this way we could at least have a little more interaction in the game.

+1 great idea...Then I can tell ppl off so everyone else can see it..

I think this idea is not terrible at all for the first reason mentioned alone-recruiting.
It could possibly help with avoiding so many startup legions that don't take off, and have 1,2,3 ships in them and then die off out of boredom. If new players had a better way of asking about joining a legion when they don't know the best way of doing it yet, veteran players could steer them along to better already formed legions, instead of searching for legions to join the way it is, and only finding the ones that just started. I think this has caused a great deal of players to turn from the game that might otherwise stay for the long haul if they were to find a better place to start the game.
Some of us were lucky enough to have a friend tell us about this game and bring us into their already existing and strong legions, but others are not that fortunate.
+1

+1 to the idea of a way for galaxy wide communication.

-1 to it being implemented, if it will add even more stress to the servers, lag is still an ongoing issue at certain parts of the day, don't want the lag spreading to the non-peak times too.

+1 people will become more active
+1 gives the opportunity for like "party raids" if dan will ever create something like that
+1 easier to find legions / people for your legion

-1 people will tell if a planet is alerted
-1 allot of people will rage and talk crap about other people (what ever reason)

-1 Can ruin coordination if there is a careless legion, people could mess up base attacks and battle plans if someone is careless with their fingers.

Also any time there is a war, world communication would have more people getting banned by those easily offended

+1 World Comm:
30-60 Sec cooldown per message, quick message under the timer will be marked as a spam, continuous message before timer is up will automatically mute the player for 15 mins from the world comm.

-1 Trolls will just spam up the comms, which may cause horrible lag.

Read my previous comment.

World comms ruin games.

Seriously. I've quit games just because the world comm got so ridiculous.

it could be like the legion comm, which can be hidden.

Still present, still lagging down the server

don't worry billik i know, was just commenting a possible solution to his problem if this was implemented.

Meh, I think it would get too cluttered unless it was divided into chat rooms or something. Even then, there wouldn't be much point as friend you could talk to in game can just as easily be talked to through facebook chat.

what about comms with our pacts with other legions

still might get too unorganized, its why some legions form Facebook groups with there battle pacts.
