I see on the wiki that there is a Shield Charging Station module for a base. Does it operate exactly like the Repair Bay in that it would give a full recharge once every 30 minutes or is it different?

3x Mega Rich = 4

I m about to start researching Sub-Quantum Logistics, but dunno exactly how it works or benefit our legion. My rank isn't high so 500000 X 3 is a lot. Could someone explain little more about this logistic research or tell me where to get this info. Thanks!

It looks to be another set of resource modules for the base. Plus it allows you to donate to a lvl5 base to upgrade it to lvl6.

Well ,

Sub-Quantum Logistics The use of sub-quantum manipulation to streamline the acquisition and distribution of materials and goods throughout a legion trade network. 500,000 x 3 Research -- Base Modules: Sub-Quantum Harvester, Sub-Quantum Core, Quantum Fabricator , unlocks contribution of certain base levels

Phase Transference The complex process of harmonic phase transfer between a legion base and surrounding vessels. 1,000,000 x 1 Research -- Base Modules: Shield Charging Station (like repair bay but shields)

I am sure this has been suggested somewhere.. but .. there should be two additional columns located SOMEWHERE.. 1 to keep track of how much research legion members are pouring into the ct lab .. and 1 to keep track of total deposit/withdrawals of credits into the base. I understand there is a log but going back 1 day is not indicative enough.

It lets you have 2 more NAPs.

Our legions having an early discussion about what might be a good design for base combat. Of course it's all speculation at the moment.

Coadym don't have lots of high rank players so initially we've got one leader working on one technology to advance it to access the best base combat technology. I'm researching into quasi-choatic blaster tech, someone else already has the best shield so one persons on hull and the other on defences. In three weeks we should have all those technologies ready.

We're still not sure how to build the base for combat though. I assume it's like building an NPC or a ship. Hull has more hit points but shield is cheaper to run. With artifacts shield becomes much better. This is the big unknown - how to get or make base artifacts and what they'll do.

The current debate which I thought I'd share here is whether better attack or better defence is better. A high attack can slow down an attack because ships have to repair but Time Manipulators and Repair Nanodrones reduce this bonus. A high defence makes the base a less inviting target because of the energy costs to do damage.

I favour defence for our legion (average rank 162) because most of our players have higher attack and defence. I assume we'll be able to guard the base so a high defence will base out the natural tendency for high attack builds. However at higher ranks players often have higher defense than attack.

Again there's the problem of what artifacts can be used to boost or reduce base combat attributes. If attack is vulnerable to a -30% modifier from an artifact whereas defence can be reduced by 15% then I'd favour a high defence build.

Cost to run and cost to repair are other factors for lower ranked legions. There's legion activity to consider too. Some legions aren't as active daily as others. One design might suit a less active legion which an slow down an attack whereas more active legions could depend on guarding ships for their attack and defense and focus on hull instead.

I wonder if anyone else had any thoughts?

Well, I remember when I was trying to help out with the attacks on Exotica a while ago; the attack was so high that I had to stop because it was too costly to keep fixing my ship. I had enough energy to keep attacking, but I was running out of Nanodrones, Restorers, and money for repairs. Of course, though, only the best bases might have that much power, so it's difficult to say. However, as far as defense goes, if the experience and rewards are good enough then using a bunch of energy to destroy a Base with low attack might not seem like a bad deal.
