Defence 75% of you Att

I apologize if this has already been mentioned, I also have been busy at work and haven't read the new updates.

So the complaint that is made the most in this game is about snipers accounts.

So how hard would it be to design the game so you had to have at least 75% defense of your attack,

Eg; A 1trill Att would require 750bill def, before you could start attacking, and if you are in a online battle and you fall below that percentage then your armies will need to retreat back to their home system to defend it until you can get back to that 75% mark again.

(No your attack doesn't get damaged because they return home to defend, but you should not be able to attack while your home system is under siege either.)

So you would receive a message something like this..

Your Commander stands aboard (YOUR MS NAME) as the communications come through that your home system is under siege, your armies must retreat until the defense has been restored within your system.

I'm no game developer so is it possible to do? and has it been suggested before? what are the problems with this idea?

And PS; cheaper defense weapons would also be handy

Like a broken record... this has been suggested so many times that my eyes hurt. 75% is kind of high. 25% would be sufficient enough, but I agree. An attacking army should not leave their home world undefended.

I've even gone as far as saying that they should require a % of one's army to defense, otherwise miners leave the mines. Meaning that the defenders are the ones that make sure the miners don't leave the mines.

It is no longer required, with the massive loss on selling attack weapons, you wont get someone that farms and sells off now, and with sabbing increased, if you build a massive strike and very little defense, and someone sabs you, its going to cost you way more than you farm.

Thought it may have been suggested before, so simple an idea... I like the idea of miners being eaten into once your defense is gone.

Not very insightful and very boring comment.

I'd still like to see something like it, or killable attack supers - which is the other variation on this that has been suggested to death!

would we talk about this some more..
nowadays there are many people with 20T defences and 0 attack..
could we please make a % how big is you def compared to defence..
couse building 20T def.. and buy 10m spys with lvl 34 and your naq is almost 100% safe..

i want to farm with 2,5t strike and its same as if i had 1t attack, since there are people with def up to 1T or from 5T above..
