  1. What I want most of all is a market interface in my base. I would pay $10 for that alone.

    After that, I want new decorative stuff. A tailor for the base would be cool as well. I also thing it's high time that we could buy any inspiration from our Auto-Doc or Tree of Wonders. Also, I want to be able to sell non-crafted enhancements to those items for the same rate you might get from a Freedom Corps vendor.
  2. I'd love a toggle that would kick the travel powers into seriously high gear.

    I also expect an AoE mez of some sort and a large +res/+def type of power. We did get a glimpse of that in the first mission of the arc that unlocks the Alpha slot.
  3. What are the V-shaped supports for those railings?

    2. $9.99. The same as the others, as long as it had a similar amount of new stuff.

    3. As opposed to the idea of specific themed ones (Circle, Carnie, etc) I propose the concept of basing them around new (though not game-changing) functions for the base.
    IE. (off the top of my head)
    -"Training Room" pack with several different versions of Target-Practice dummies & a Trainer
    -"Wardrobe Room" pack with a Tailor, ICON-style customizable mannequins, SG-specific uniforms.
    -"Vendor Room" pack with access to the Market, Quartermasters/Vendors, etc.

    4. All of those packs would contain a fair amount (I dunno, maybe 20 or so) of new/proliferated decorative items, in addition to the big functional items.
    This.

    I'd rather they just do away with rent altogether. It's an annoyance.

    My base is on the biggest secure plot in the game. Right now my rent is something like 3200 prestige. I pay it when the message comes up just to get rid of the message. In the old days I rode the timer like a horse and paid a minute after the power went out just to maximize my savings. In the old old days my plot would cost me 5 million prestige per pay period. Now it's 3200. Get rid of rent - it's a pointless aspect of the game.
  5. Well I installed this as described and the beginning, and as is the usual case for me in these sorts of things it doesn't work. I created the texts and English files manually, so that was probably it. I really suck at these sorts of things. If someone could give me a better way to do this I would appreciate it.
  6. I'll give you a tour of my base if you like - I'm on Freedom right now.

    I know I need to do it, but...Im just not used to trees working like that really.
    This is the part of it that bugs me the most.
  8. We used to do this all the time. Join the global channel BaseBuildersInc. and organize a tour whenever you want. You should have no problems getting people on board.

    Truer words have never been spoken. Still one of my all-time favorite comics.
  10. Did a master run on Lambda on Saturday and did everything correctly to earn all the badges. We should have gotten them all but got none. Petitioned it and it's been "elevated" to a senior rep. I doubt we'll get anything for it other than the form letter.

    Raaaaaaaaaaaaage

    I'm kind of curious about this timing. Why go down during prime playing time for something to do with vet rewards and character slots? Seems more like a "wait until 6 am" sort of problem to me.
  13. Yay! A reference to my guide. Thanks, Snow Globe.
  14. I still think there should be a way to do it, but only if you had an active account at the time of the anniversary. Celebrant is missing on my badge toon, and I missed it by about 5 weeks.
  15. Thanks, Snow Globe. I had a feeling there was a door I was missing somewhere.
  16. I took some time away from the game (about 9 months) with periodic checking in. I was around when Going Rogue went live and played around with it a bit. I was under the impression that one had to start in Praetoria in order to have access to the badges there. Is this the case? Is there any way to get there if you didn't start there?

    I see the current maximum badges available for heroes/villains is 1275. I am currently at around 950 with all the easy (exploration, history, some defeats) villain badges after converting to Vigilante. Is it primarily SF badges and the like I am missing?

    I know a lot of the badges are shared but just have different names. It's just hard to believe that I am missing 300+ badges from CoV that are unique to that side.
  17. I inspire everyone. It's my curse.
  18. I did Apex for the first time last night (I've been away from the game for about 6 months) and managed to get this on the first try. I didn't even know this badge existed, but then again I am really behind on the new ones. I got lucky, but after all the heartache and time it took to get MoSTF on my badger, I think I was owed an easy one.
  19. The link in my sig works.
  20. I pay it now just to get rid of the message. It's something like 3100 prestige. I have about 13 million prestige that I bascially can't do anything with since my base is huge and fully loaded.

    I'm not bragging. My point is that the base rent is a pittance these days and really ought to just be eliminated. It serves no purpose.

    Functional bases

    Wow, talk about necroposting.

    You should have seen the costs before they changed them.

    First of all, do you have the 15 members in your SG to get the 300k prestige bonus? Second, have you considered doing a little marketeering? I don't do this, but apparently there are lots who do and are willing to explain how to do so over on the Market board. Earning lots of inf is a good way to get prestige. 100 million inf = 200k prestige. Not a great exchange rate, but a way to boost your base up to a level with which you are comfortable.

    Have you coalitioned with a larger SG in order to gain access to all teleporters and other items? If you are on Freedom heroside I would gladly coalition with you to help you out.
  22. The best way is to use the office cubicle found in the "Other furniture" tab (I think that's the one). The cubicle acts as a wall that you can attach wall items to.
  23. What are your graphics settings? If you aren't cranked up to a certain point you won't see much.
