Personally I'm thinking of the 2 sides of the attack and def on both personal and physical levels, i.e:
Boost to toc (Ajna)
Boost to recover LF (maybe CER as well) (Indu)
Boost to attack/assass (Ori)
Boost to def/cov/income (Tolah)
I like that idea a lot. Would allow people to 'specalise' more and encourage team work, as well as making your race more than a RP choice.
Would certainly make the next race war a lot more interesting don't you think

Mmmm, interesting.
Would you be throwing in a penalty free race change if you implement this idea Sol? (Current race change costs you ~70% of your planets).
What kind of boost are you thinking about? Similar to what you get from a Demi? 1-5%?

no, don't need a ToC boost, and how would that help in any of the Tourneys? Having a great ToC didn't help ETL against the Butcher.
Besides most regular players know how to build their accounts to be practically undecendable so it would be a toothless and worthless bonus.

Honestly, is it possible for you to have a positive attitude at all? Or at least give constructive criticism.
I personally think it's a great update, who cares if it's 'toothless' it gives us some diversity to our accounts.. and gives the currently pointless races a meaning. I think the bonus should be fairly small but noticable. Perhaps they should be sided with a weakness like Demis.
This must have been brought up before...

If you don't like the racial specialties Sol suggested, feel free to suggest alternatives

Shut up for once.

Well she may have a negative attitude about it but she is right in a sense that she is touching upon a subject of ToC
There have been a few guys in the last month alone who came to me asking in what they should invest in ascended and all of them came straight up flying telling me that ToC as it is is quite a waste of DMU
And I couldnt really say otherwise. But that is another topic to discuss.

As an Anja, I could do with a TOC boost, though it wouldn't be my first choice...
perhaps adding a partial boost of something else would sufficiently sweeten the pot for most Anja?

Change race like I said before...
I think a TOC increase is, in itself, powerful enough as a bonus.

res'ing this thread.
I'll be doing something along the lines of this, interested to see what other people suggest for bonuses.
Considering:
- TOC boost
- CER/income boost
- LF recovery boost
- Turn per turn boost
- Planet soft cap increase
- Max turns held increase
Scaled accordingly. I don't particularly want to boost atk/def/cs etc.
