So yeah, I'm rank 75, I've taken planets from rank 130's and managed to keep them without fluxing, including Collossus Aquarum, a 2x Mega Rich, Mega Colossal planet, but I have also taken planets from rank 30's and 35's.
I think it's kind of unfair that say a rank 70 can take a rank 20's planet, or that a rank 700 could take a rank 70's planet, so perhaps there should be a rank cap, similar to that of the battle box.
Affects finding aswell as attacking, so hopefully you wont get clogged up by useless planets.

PLEASE NOTE: I posted this more to see what the general reception is, not as an actual idea really.

Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't you the one who called a guy a noob and mocked him when he jokingly implied this very idea?

Yes, your correct, but when I actually thought about it, I thought that some people might actually want it, so I thought I would find out how many wanted/didn't want it, I suggested it more to see what the general reaction was, which is why I put the poll.

If a cap is put in to prevent high ranks from taking planets from low ranks, there would have to be a cap going the other way as well preventing low ranks from taking from the high ranks. So this is a bad idea. In many cases, high rank players WANT lowbies taking planets they consider crappy, but would be good planets for the lowbies. Saves us the GP to abandon it and it opens a planet slot for something better. There is also the consideration that a low rank can take a planet from another low rank and a cap would prevent a higher ranked legionmate from helping to recapture it from the thief.

if youre saying we shouldnt be able to take it, then we shouldnt even be able to scan it. -1

I'm pretty sure I mentioned that.

perhaps thats what you edited, i read this yesterday and posted, but my post didnt go through (or was deleted) so i reposted the short version today without rereading the article. i apologize.

what i edited in was the part about it being a post to see the reaction. that had always been there, but it doesn't really matter.
tbh its a silly idea, posted simply to see if people would react the same way i did when i first heard it (wtf man!...)
