theres no reason you cant be talth AND steal planets.
they are in no way exclusive things.

thats true, but being talth does nothing beneficial for stealing planets.
konqul does, extra attack
zol sab does, removes 1200-~2600 def /att /useless population buildings :P
overall for single player thefts, konqul will probably net you a better chance at a theft, in a legion with a few sabs, switching to sab and assisting in those endeavors will pay off better.
now to just keep dreaming of the day when i can be a konqul sab !!! ill be unstoppable then.

Honestly? You think people will reach a point where they cannot get any green badges at all? Alright... They'd have to be rank 16,000,000+, so I guess you have a point. Tell you what, just so that it evens out that when you've invaded every single planet in the galaxy at least once you should get a free reset of the logs so you can re-steal all 4,000,000 planets out there from other players.

On a more legitimate side of this argument; if Dan brings out a ship mod which needs green badges then plenty of rank 1k+ will be able to steal the planets needed to get it. You can still get a rank 100 bane-ally by freeze ranking, but you'd need to take 100 different planets and then have them taken back individually. The whole point is that footballs make something in the game much easier than intended. Some people might like footballs, but why should a game be too easy?

Actually, on the suggestion I favoured, you'd have to rename your ship to re-do footballs presuming Dan didn't code the game to keep track of that too. That would completely f*** legion coherence.

Actually, more likely he would use everyone's player ID - which remains unchanged.

Yeah. I wasn't sure if there was another value aside from ship name which denoted each player.

SO, total suggested idea for Dan;

Any single planet can only give each player one green badge, rebellious recapture and Bane-Ally rank. Kept track of, per planet, by player ID.


On a side note, what coding language does the game use?

We are aware of the current mechanics and know that certain planets could be used like that. Although badges can be gained that way, just be aware that additional restrictions may be added at a later time.

Satisfied?

To some degree. I can see how it is considered an exploit, as it is using game mechanics to do something you probably shouldn't be able to do, but it isn't cheating.
