with the introduction of bases, i think we need a new starter race that people can choose right off the bat that gives a bonus to the base.

Race: <Genericracenamehere>
Bonus: additional 50% from base daily shipment. NOTE: this does not subtract from the total percentage, but is additional to the total distributed.

Example: base gives out 1000 research among 50 members, thats 20 research each. with this racial bonus, you would receive 30 research. however, your other legionmates would still receive 20 research, as this is a bonus and isnt deducted from the total.

Profession: Architect
Bonus: Additional 10% is added when donating to the base.

Example: if you donate 100 energy, 100 complex tech, and 100 em, you would ACTUALLY donate 110 energy, tech, and matter. the extra 10% just comes out of thin air.

I actually like the Architect idea, but I think it should be a mission unlock available to all races.

i disagree, people would send all the complex tech/ EM to one person with the perk and then that person would contribute it.

then that would be their desicion. they would never be able to use the percentage payout option, and it would only effect exotic matter and complex tech. energy would still need to be payed by each player, it would just allow those of the base race to get more from their energy donations.

Interesting. However, it does seem more like a mission reward race than a generic one. I think we should keep the name, Genericracenamehere.

+1

Id be happy if architect just affected the energy contribution.

that could be another option too so that this profession dosnt get exploited. I was thinking the Architect profession would be available for humans, sillix, taltherian, drannik, zolazin, vygoid, and genericracename.
