Everyone has been disappointed with base production and the returns they give in regards to resources. The bonuses are hard to figure out and understand.

My suggestion would be to just increase the module's production. Forget about bonuses and making things more complicated. Instead of a module that gives +25 production, why not +250? That would give a legion that is only getting 20,000 a day now, about 200,000.

200K divided by 40-50 active players is 4-5K for each player which would really make a difference for the little guys.

this would also make it more realistic for the amount of resources that have to be input to level the base.

+1 to making it 10x the current rate

This is IMHO, currently the biggest issue. The input/output ratio just isn't there.

Yeah, something like this seems like a good solution.

This could actually be the best idea to sort the whole base resource situation out. I think maybe 10x is a bit too high, maybe 5x is better. I dont really know about anyone else's base but for us that would equal 11,000 resources each a day and our average rank is only 50. Everyone is gonna say yeah make it 10x what it is just now but they are not actually looking at it from an objective viewpoint.

The bases look like they are designed to grow along with the legion that builds them and I think this is the point that many legions forget. A small legion is going to have a small base and a large legion is going to have a large base, this is just common sense. As the members get bigger so does the base.

i like the 10x idea because the primary donaters to the base have been over rank 100, and thats because the little guys havent researched AI Logistics yet. if the base were 10x, i would get approximately half an hours production from research and an hour from artifact with our current set up. This i feel would be fair. right now, the daily shipment gives us 160 research and enough artifact for a spy probe (yay.) so there is zero return to anyone but a rank 10 right now on the base.

for a rank 10 however, the base would fill their production up with a 10x shipment. this i also feel is fair, because bases are supposed to supply your ship. it would be a huge help when first starting out, and would keep many players hooked into the game if they could get a resesrch and artifact boost early on.

1) Daily shipment of Legion Base resources arrived:
1496 Mineral Units, 3658 Research Points, 3658 Artifact Points


that is the break down of my shipment for the day. that is quite a bit to be receiving, our base is lv 6, yes the required items going into it are a lot but remember their are 50+ member donating to it. And the base does more than just produce resources. It also is a place to produce new artifacts, and more to come. Pvp has not even been built or implemented yet. I see in the long run the base being a good source or recourses, but there still all immature. Think when you were only lv 4 or 5 you only had very little coming in from your planets. the base is nothing but a planet for the whole legion to use. not a mass producing plot for one person to exploit for their own benefit.

with a level 6 base, ur either in the dysonians or ni. either way, those are the top legions in the game. you cant really hold every other legion to your standard. while you may be making a half hour of resources off the base, everyone else is making 2 minutes of production tops off the base. this suggestion is to help the people who have only 2 or 3 people contributing to the base. in my opinion, the base should fill at least one resources production bar all the way up. while this will be impossible for bases in the 2-3 range, they can still fill up level 0-100s production bars up, and give a decent reward to the people over rank 100. i barely even donate to the base anymore because the return rate is so lousy. its a good sink for when i have extra energy, but other than that its not even worth my time. which is unfortunate considering it was the biggest update since legions.
