So I got to thinking, why not add another dimension to titles we get rewarded from medals. They could give certain passive bonuses when you get them, kinda like solynia's artifact bonus when she is maxed. They don't have to be huge bonuses ofc. One could give 1% passive cloak to all planets, another could give passive attack or defense on planets, others could give passive ship bonuses even, there could be passive mining, research, or artifacts bonuses. Maybe there could even be a shop that you can only purchase certain things if you have gotten that title? It could also work in a far more limited manner that you only get certain bonuses if that is the title you currently have set on your ship settings. Not all the titles would have to give bonuses. Maybe some of the harder ones. I am curious if there are any thoughts or other ideas on other bonus possibilities that they could be used for?

I mentioned this to some friends like aaages ago. I think it would be a fun idea, I mean it's not like people don't work equally as hard for some titles as they do for maxing their allies etc..

I think it would be a fun addition, like 'Annihilator' for +3-5% attack against other players or 'The Marauder' for +5% raiding ability or something

Eh, I think if these get added it should be for a new tier of titles. Marauder and annihilator are too easy to get for this bonus

I think the general idea is that each title has a relevant (small) bonus so your choice of title would depend on the bonus that you want at the time.

I can only see this working if there's a 20 or 40 hour cooldown on making changes, though, so you'd have to choose the bonus you want at any given time but then are locked into it for a short time and can't just switch 20 times a day for whatever you are doing at that moment.

you realize the only titles that would be used in order are: % AHP bonus, % cloak bonus (for all planets), % attack bonus (ALL, then NPC,) % mining bonus, Everything else right?

Perhaps it could be something like a small bonus that lasts 4 hours, but then you cant change titles for 20 hours.

-1 Seems a bit of a waste to have it last four hours and to have a cool-down timer. I see no reason to not have a persistent buff.

Cooldown on changing it then. Or you only receive the bonus for the first n hours of the title being active.

Why does there need to be a cooldown or a limit on how long the buff lasts? Why can't I get persistent buffs? I've earned the titles, surely I've earned the buffs. I appreciate that people might think "Oh well you could just switch titles when you want the other buffs!" but... Yeah, isn't that the point? Isn't it like switching out ship modules? If they were size-able buffs like a 15% Invasion Bonus to The Hallowed then fair enough but I think what we're going for here is small buffs? Like 2-5%?
