Hi ,
I was thinking that we as players get rewards for every year that we have played so I think it would be cool if our legions got rewards for every year old they are , also our bases should get rewards for every year old they are as well

I was thinking for legion rewards for 1 year old legions , members would get a +1% hull bonus to all loyal members of legion ( I am a fixer right now with over 200k hull so i would get an extra 2k hull , which while not massive is still not bad - defo not over powered to me )

For the 2 year reward members would get a +1% attack bonus to all loyal members
3 year reward could be a +1% scan bonus
4 year reward could be +1% energy bonus ?

The other thing would be rewarding bases as the get years old , I'm thinking that for a 1 year old base the reward could be a +1% sheild bonus to the base
for 2 year old bases , a +1% hull bonus for the base
for 3 year old bases a +10% to base ability points ?
for 4 year old bases a reduction in time before getting more base points ?

The great thing about these rewards to me is that every legion will eventually get them - also they are not too overpowered I think , but they provide nice wee helps for your ships .

What do you guys think ?

I like the idea of the base getting rewards but not the members.
If members were to be included they should have to be loyal to the legion for that long so new members could not automatically get the benefit.

But then the legion age rewards would be almost useless , there are very few players that have been in any legion for 3 years . Also the rewards are not that powerfull imo , defo better that loyal members get the bonus - not only members that have been in the legion for years .

Well thats how I see it anyways , thanks for the feedback !

Maybe instead of directly rewarding the ships with extra stats the base could gain a small bit of bonus production?

Yeah I'm totally open to the rewards being changed - it was just the general idea that I am more interested in , if anyone has alternate rewards please let us know

I'd prefer players get individual bonuses for staying in their legions for long durations.

Totally agree. Not many people have stayed put for over a year hence making those select few get the nicer bonus.

Why should people like the new dysonians all get a buff just because they are in an old legion?

Well because their legion is 3 years old - it's not their fault the previous members were all kicked .

Perhaps make the rewards system different then , and add another tier for players that have been in a legion for years with their own better rewards ?

That way people would get a small reward for the legion age , and a stronger reward for being in their legion for a long time ?

I like the idea of members getting a reward but only after they at least become loyal. If you started rewarding players only after they themselves have been in a legion, you should do away with the lone conquer medal. That would also virtually kill the planet trade business, which might not be a bad thing lol

I kind of like where this idea is going but I can see where Tree is coming from.

I don't think it should be based on the age of the legion itself though.

Maybe something like when you've been with a specific legion for three months total, you gain a 2% attack bonus, which you lose when you leave but immediately get back when you rejoin that legion.
six months to get a 2% defense bonus, 9 months to get a 2% hull bonus, 12 months to get a 2% shield bonus, 15 months to get a 2% cloak bonus, 18 months to get a 2% scan bonus, 21 months to get a 2% mining bonus to all of your planets, etc, etc.

So say you were an old dysonian for 18 months and you got kicked, if you rejoined you regain those 2% attack, defense, hull, shield, cloak and scan bonuses the moment you rejoin instead of waiting for that pesky loyalty timer. Sort of like a timer of how long you've been in the legion but it stays with you (but might not necessarily be shown to other players) wherever you go.

Just my thoughts on the matter anyway.

What about a bonus based on the average length of loyalty for all the members.

The older legions would have the advantage with a few players who are loyal for a year.

That could work

+1 to base bonuses, legion member bonuses are OP... (I really like the base bonuses- our base would get the most lol)

Your base would get the same as all the first year legions.

Except most are dead today.

lol - I have a cheeky counter-proposal, definitely delivered tongue-in-cheek: how about, due to the inherent advantages of having been in existence and playing so much longer, older bases and players are punished by a 2% drop in their hulls and production?

Nah, I don't like that idea either, for pretty much the same reason I don't think older bases deserve extra rewards just for being older.
