I agree that the player would lose the bonus. However, if a player leaves, and said player had laboratory levels necessary for existing Alliance technologies, the alliance should not have those technologies/bonuses taken away when the player leaves.

But that's not we're saying. If you, as a player do some research, you gain that, you have it forever. If you then decide that your worlds are too full, you need more room but cannot afford the next level of terraformer, you decide to demolish your research labs. You would then lose the ability to do anymore research as you have trashed those labs. But you wouldn't lose something that you've already researched.

What we are suggesting is that if the alliance was to disband, then the alliance research would go with it. If the alliance is still in existence then whatever has been researched, up until that point stays.

Oh, I see. I am in agreement for those points.

Apologies if it was as clear as mud. lol.

+1 from me. very very interesting

Thank you Obsedatu

Such, should only be used for new, alliance-wide technologies. To implement, we need at least 5 tech ideas for alliance-wide effects.

How about with acs once u build level one u click on it this gives options of a alliance resources u can send resources to fund for alliance research which alliance leaders can control in the alliance manger bit. Now this fund can be use to fund alliance research one alliance intergalactic research each level up adds a member in The network and this works the same as irn adds everyone's labs together to speed up research and few others tech alliance could research together
1)alliance sensor phalanx. U can use alliance mates sensors phalanxs
2)alliance mining tech one alliance irn upgrade resources production % can be discussed
So everyone in alliance adds to fund to benefit everyone in it
