Hey there! In my Peacebringer alt Lora'Lai, I'm the primary architect/base designer of the supergroup The Legendary on Virtue Server.

We've been together going on 2 years now and our base has really started getting pretty large.

I've never designed for "efficiency" or even regular spacing of rooms. Thus there's a little bit of "wasted" space on the map that's popped up as I've grown the base. Rarely have I taken down major sections and I've NEVER just deleted the entire base to start over. Thus it's kind of grown "organically".

In other words, it's a bit of a sprawling maze by now.

After making sure the "functional" priorities for a PVE base were taken care of (teleporters, medbay, workshops and storage) my main priority has been to make the place look "lived in" and to provide lots of little nooks and crannies for RP to take place.

So - here's the nickel tour. Come with me now...

First - the overview with labels
Legendary Base - overhead view

Main Entrance Hall and Reception Desk

Reception 1
Reception 2
Reception 3

Before we head out on patrol, a nice hot cup of Java helps wake you up. Or maybe you want to just read a book and socialize as you eat?
Breakfast Nook and Coffee Bar
Cloesup on the Kitchen area

Next up are the main workshop areas. Both tech and arcane basically use mirrored floorplans.

Next up are our Teleport Rooms. The two main bays again are basically mirrors of each other. The effect is more like one REALLY big room rather than two.

An Arcane Teleport chamber going to Croatoa, Dark Astoria and Perez Park

Our last Teleport Room also doubles as our Longbow Hanger.

Going back to the main entryway and looking down the long main corridor.

Along the Main Corridor is the Invention Lab and Vault

Next is the Infirmary and reclamators.

Our formal Meeting Hall and Trophy Room

Administration Offices for the Supergroup Leaders (Hey look! an actual human sized doorway! ^_^)

Our Martial Arts Dojo (and small Grotto)

An Arcane Ritual Room.

Recently we upgraded from a small control room to a Command Center with AI computer. The first SG member to wander in after I had completed the place said "If that thing starts singing 'I'm Still Alive' I am SO OUTTA HERE!" ^_^

Next up - the Legendary Dance Club and Bar!

Lastly, our Turbine power station

Hey, what's this? If you edge alongside the generator you come up to a short set of steps that leads to a little "secret" room! I envision this as Lora'Lai's private little workspace and lounge. But who knows what other uses people may put it to when she's not staying at the base!

"Secret" room approach

"Secret" Room 2

And there you go! The home base of The Legendary. And we still have some space left to grow into on this plot!

Thoughts? Brickbats?

Very nice atlantea! Also where did you get those nice pictures on the breakfast nook?

Great idea on the club flooring.

Trying to figure that out myself. Love the Secret Room.

Oh the pictures? That's a client side mod. And... I'm racking my brain but I can't remember where I got it from. Probably linked from the Guruverse Forums. They replace in-game "generic" art with actual art pieces. Kind of amusing to take a Malta mission into a "ruined office" map and see the Mona Lisa on one of the office walls!

And in regard to the dance floor - Thanks! But I can't take credit for originality there. That's been done before. In fact I'm pretty sure I got the idea from this forum!

After giving in, I decided to show off the Arachnos Elite's base. After taking screenies of it, I decided that they didn't best capture the base as a whole.

So, may I present to you, in DivX video format.. the Arachnos Elite's base! (Virtue Server, to avoid any confusion.)

http://www.arachnoselite.com/tour/
Video is 6 minutes long. Hope you enjoy.

(DivX codec must be installed on your comp to view it. I chose this format since it best preserves the quality of the original video.)

*Note* In the war room I accidentally mis-typed the amount of seats in the room. It should be listed as 100+, not 1000+.

**For those of you that don't want to download the DivX Codec to view the high quality version of this video, a lower quality version of the video can be found here - http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...7797&hl=en **


pohsyb: so of all people you must be most excited about the veats
Arachnos Commander: actually, I am
pohsyb: I mean you kinda were one already anyways ^_^

While I'm at it, here are pics of my "neutral" group, the Vanguard Elite (also of the Virtue Server.) Although it's small, due to having a smaller roster, i'm rather impressed with how it's turning out. Will be adding more to it soon.

I'm currently the base editor for the Avenging Flame base, gotta remember to spare this long weekend to redo it since i didn;t really put much effort into the last overhaul (just added some more rooms and anything else i could use to burn up the prestige)

i'll have a bunch of pics up hopefully before Monday

Oh and very nice work on that base there ArachnosElite

Bases like that truly are mind boggling

WOW, ArachnosElite. That's a supremely COOL base. I love the warroom and the weapon's corridor.

Also, what song is playing on the video?

Thank you... the room was actually supposed to be something else, but then I flashed on the idea for the awnings and the sushi bar, and scratched almost everything I was doing with that room. I'm really happy with it now.
