Not so much an item I'd like to see...more of a change to an existing item.
The arcane telepads are just a hair bigger than a grid square. This makes placing them a pain in the rear. Could they be made a hair smaller so they fit on just one grid square like the tech telepads do?

It will, of course, be up to the Devs what alarm sound they use. But anything that makes heroes cringe is fine by me.

Individual letters as wall hangings/signs
Originally suggested by: me
Category: Wall decoration
Customizable? N
Type: purchased
Description: Square shaped signs with a capital letter in each one. All letters of the alphabet plus numbers 0 through 9. That way we can spell stuff on the walls. Like over Zone TPers.. We could spell "ST M" and know that goes to St. Martial as one weak example.
Limitations: wall placement
[/ QUOTE ]
Probably *not* going to happen. Too much chance of people spelling out inappropriate items.
Might be why we don't have SG Emblams to put on the wall too, now that I think of it.
Still here, even after all this time!

Category: Room
Customizable? Y
Type: Crafted, requirements: Minimum 5 souvenirs or 5 SG badges or a combination of atleast 5 of these.

Limitations: Minimum 5 souvenirs/badges, max 15 per room bought. No limit on number of rooms bought.
Music Items
Category: Decorative/special
Customizable? Yes. (boombox, jukebox, old looking radio, futuristic radio, dvd player, etc)
Type: Unlocked (Add an exploration badge to the paragon dance party and one in the Giza disco room)

Originally
Category: Teleporter/Room
Customizable? Y (Select from: Jet, Helicopter, Submarine Dock, Spaceship, Ground Vehicle)
Type: unlocked/crafted
Description: a helicopter or aircraft in a hangar bay room, the doors to it are part of the ceiling feature. The hangar bay acts as a teleporter to missions only, much in the manner of the 'board train' missions, it is compatible with SG oriented missions given from the computer.
Limitations: mission delivery only
Purpose: We wont' have vehicles in CoH for any foreseeable time, but this gives the SG the illusory that they're swinging into action aboard their own SG-owned supervehicle (and let's face it, who doesnt want their own batmobile/blackbird?)

Given a large enough room and time I can spell out inappropriate words with items on the floor or wall with what is already in the editor (in fact I'm spelling out Zone abbr.'s now as Zone TP guides). And bases aren't in the general public view. If the Overlord gives someone permissions, she/he can take them away, and if the Overlord him/herself did it and has given no edit permission to other members who could then delete the word, well, that is the only loop hole and I'm not sure that SG/VG will exist.
I was under the impression that the OP intended this thread to make a 'wish' list. As long as we kept to format and it was within some reason, we could post it. So if you don't agree, that is fine, then don't support the suggestion, but I would prefer not to see mine or other people's ideas torpedoed. You can PM me, and tell me my post is inappropriate, or as the OP to weigh in on it via PM.

Quite right, JazonZ. Discussing the merits of various ideas will eventually drift the thread away from its current purpose - a quick, skimmable summary of items requested over time. While such discussion *is* inevitable, I'd like it to stay constructive at the very least. This thread isn't about shooting ideas down.
I'll start moving suggestions to the top of the thread now that we've gotten to multiple pages - that way we can discuss, critique, improve suggestions already here and still keep the list together for viewing.
Also, if anyone sees errors or wants to suggest improvements to earlier entries, please do.

Type: Purchased
Description:Another area for your base
requires an elevator room, or a transdimensional portal room,

elevator could require acess key (or mystic item for acane portal) and/or a force field in the door way, requiring the attacking team to destroy/disable the switch/generator before proceeding
Limitations: Extremely costly, for veteran SGs only, perhaps only 1 per SG

Ya know I would love to see some type of "gamble" device on COV.
The odds would have to be tweaked a little as not to imbalance the system. But I think it would be cool.

Tax Break
Originally suggested by: o.o the opressed!
Category: sg needed
Customizable? sure! why not!
Type: unlocked (special conditions)
Description: this item would be put in base and cause taxes on base items to not be charged instead of the current charging Tax and rent. Ultimatly, letting SGs actually have rooms and decorate them too.
Limitations: obviously, only 1 per base. If rent is still calculated far and above what the SG makes in a payperiod, then item will self-destruct, taking the room it's in with it. This will cause about 60% of sgs with one to loose said room every other week.
