Recently, my legion has been doing base battles more frequently.
and as an almost rank 400, I don't have the BEST defense (7k buffed)
and some bases are 15k+ attack, which is quite a hefty punch into my hull.

So i thought of an idea.
a 5% chance drop from all base crates, an artifact that makes your ship impervious to all damage dealt by a base for a short amount of time (1-2 minutes).

It would give lower leveled players a fighting chance against bases.
And uhh, that's my suggestion.

-1 sorry

reason: as an artifact as such, high lvls do a lot of damage within 1-2 mins and as such just makes it easier to kill bases.

basicly the impetus should be on progression within the game.. and base battles are meant to be hard.. there is already an artifact that allows you some defence against bases.
to totally allow a base not to hit your ship goes against teh model.

as with anything low lvls within teh game need to progress over time.
there is too much now a quick fix to everything that allows low lvls to be competitive against high ranks and ships. need to do more damage to a base increase your def and att. do research to do this collect artifacts etc.
this game is more for a long range view and gaming style than a quick game.. if your not prepared to put the time and effort in.
sorry this will never be introduced (my opinion)

Mainly because it may be true that low levels can hit a low amount of times on each base but the majority of bases are defence based and the players who do all the damage tend not to worry about hull or sheilds and have lots of nanos
Also I dont want another item dilluting the base items pool. especialy one I would want less than even the most common from a crate.

Base fights are decently balanced.

Higher ranks are meant to kill higher level bases.

Lower ranks are meant to kill lower level bases.

The more obvious thing that everyone else in your situation did was up there defense 7k buffed is fairly pathetic, with modules alone you can see about 14k defense then a grid + the BM50's will give you more than enough defense against 15k attack.
