huge disadvantage for legions slacking on getting cruisers/carriers tho. they cant attack even if they have a good lvl 5 fleet.. or want to try to level without defending HW.

I'd prefer to see something like a home world stat bonus, and perhaps a much smaller one for adjacent sectors. A defenders advantage to help out battered legions, more so than PDS which really does nothing to help when the fight is a mismatch.

Didn't Legions used to get a defense bonus?

And maybe turn the bonus off for the top legion point-wise, so that stuff like the current battles can still happen.

also a think i like to point out.

A thing that a lot of players really hate. and a lot of times a reason to not come back again that beta.
Loosing a big ship that say was 2 months of work.
1 time they miss a tick. And they see al that work and sleeples nights disapear in just a icecold msg that says your ship is destroyd..

To start al over agian is sometimes just to much for the players.
So why not give them a bit of the work back they have invested in there previous ship..

Say wen you get killed you get 20% of your points invested back into your new ship call it salvageds parts from you wreck
A lvl 5 ship 60.000 points would come back as lvl 3 with 12K points
A lvl 3 ship with 12.000 points comes back as lvl 1 with 2400 points
A 150K Cruiser comes back as a lvl 4 ship with 30K points

Good point, I like this idea, and I don't see any immediate problems with it.

Been waiting a month or so for Nivara to post some things, including an idea she said she had along the above lines. Not sure if the above is very similar to the idea she had or if hers was better...?
