Base Items We'd Like To See, Mk. 2
There already is, it's called 'raid pathing'.
<_< and even if there wheren't, they could make them destructable items when the base goes into pvp mode..

Oooh, idea. To both give the Mission Computer some actual use and give the raid teleporter use in a PvE base, make it so instead of configuring the raid teleporter to the CoP, you can also configure it to an active mission, so you and your group-members can teleport directly inside your mission instance if you use the raid teleporter. If you're not a member of the group whose mission is configured to the 'porter, it wouldn't let you in, but you could reconfigure the raid teleporter again via the mission computer. This would be especially useful for missions gotten from the mission computer, as you could go mission-running without ever technically leaving your base. You could even have task forces take place outside of Paragon City, where the missions are only accessible through the raid teleporter.
How about a teleport beacon that lets you 'port from your own base to coalition bases?
Teleport Suppression Device
Suggested by: Pyrotechnic
Category: Defensive
Custom: No
Type: Unlocked/Crafted
Description: A defensive item, much like the field generators, that disrupts all enemy teleportation in the room with the device planted. This, coupled with stealth suppression devices and slow fields, can keep people from leaving the discomfort of your defensive areas too quickly. This can also be used to prevent enemy team members from teleporting their friends out of the area, or teleporting their bodies out to safely rez them.
Map of Paragon City
Category: Decorative
Customizable: No
Type: Purchased in the edit window.
Description: You know the map that's at the entrance of every train station? Yeah. That's what I want. It doesn't have to have flashing areas, or beacons showing anything, or some highly customizable whoop-de-doo. I just want the same simple map that's already coded into the game. Please....
Medbay/Workshop
Suggested by: SkarmoryThePG
Category:Room
Customized:No
Type:Purchased

Category: raid
Customizable? no
Type: crafted
Description: you can craft a special item that grants a temp power with a 15 second interuptable casting time to instantly be ported to base 1-5 charges depending on salvgae required but should be simple 1 of each tier one perhalps so all levels of SG's can easily make them

_________________________________________________
Item name AutoDoc/Tree of Wonder/Candy dispenser/ Vending Machine
Originally suggested by: Balezebop
Category: Medical device
Customizable? no
Type: unlocked with autodoc badge
Description: Does the same thing as autodoc, and tree of wonder but looks like a candy machine or vending machine, folks are always saying eating inspirations anyhow lets have some cool skins to go with it!!!
Limitations: Works just like current AutoDoc items do takes up medical device slot so really just another skin for AutoDoc, perhalps Candy dispenser for arcane and Vending machine for tech =P

Originally suggested by: Balezebop
Category: Medical device

Limitations: works the same as combat logs takes up medical device slot thus however many a room allows is how many you can have.
Misc comments:
I like the prison ideas the doors and the added level to base to allow private rooms for SG mates as it is now we have two SG's one we use as our functioning base and another we use to allow active members to create thier own private space in, this would eliminate the need for a new base, prhalps make it so the other levels are acting like a second base all together and can be edited by members of a specific rank or something

SG Bank
Suggested by: Maldini
Category: Room Type
Customizable?: No
Type: Immediately Available
Description: Anybody can deposit influence/infamy into the SG's account, but only certain membes with the appropriate permission can withdraw. This would help the group collect all their funds into one central location to help the lower level members of the SG get funds more easily.

thats all i want too!
Originally suggested by: Dragonweit
Category: Any
Customizable? No
Type: Decorative
Description: Coffee maker
Limitations: Makes coffee
While working on my base, I have seen phones, floor lamps, desk, lamps, copy machines, monitors, computer, etc. Everything a office needs, almost. I have yet to see a coffee maker! I demand a coffee maker for my SG base!
[ QUOTE ]
I realized last night that my villains had no way to see what time it is while in base. For meeting rooms or council rooms, this would be a handy decoration to have.
Clock
Originally suggested by: Vishalicious
Category: Room Details/Wall Details
Customizable? N
Type: Purchased
Description: Clocks of various sizes which can be placed on flat surfaces/tabletops, or placed on a wall.
Limitations: Purely decorative.
[/ QUOTE ]
As a purely decorative item, I would approve of this as well.
Why not go a little further with such an item? Prehaps if we get a sg badge called time keeper for defeating 1000 clockwork in SG mode, there will be a simple device in which if we click on it, it will tell us what time it is our local time as well as calculate what time it will be on other time zones.
Bonus points if you make it look like it was made from the parts of several clockwork.
NPC's For Base Decoration and SG Communication
- in short these items can supplement or replace using external SG websites to communicate SG policies, schedule events, etc.
- Combined with updated MotD's that say stuff like "SG TF! Please check with Jeeves for details, time and date. Officers please leave comments if you will or won't be able to make it!" (Jeeves of course being a copyright infringing renamed Internal Affairs Liason dressed as a butler), these NPC's could really help keep a diverse SG in the land of altaholics running smoothly

Base Technician
Originally suggested by: SilverAgeFan
Category: any room, other/new
Customizable? Y (can be costumed using a version of the costume creator, text fields can be customized, NPC name can be customized)
Type: purchased/hired
Description: This NPC stands still, works like the bouncers at Pocket D displaying a limited single bubble of NPC text when approached. Good for communicating base policies. Put one in a lab coat near your medbay to inform all SG members that you are working towards that healing badge to improve med facilities, put one near your salvage storage to outline salvage policies for the SG, if you have a lot of SG newbies--use these NPC's to provide explanation about functional SG items, or simply use them anywhere to add a bit of atmosphere and RP flair to your base
Limitations: this NPC's text bubble can only be modified by those with edit base permissions

Public Relations Coordinator
Originally suggested by: SilverAgeFan
Category: any room, other/new
Customizable? Y (can be costumed using a version of the costume creator, text fields can be customized, NPC name can be customized)
Type: purchased/hired
Description: This NPC stands still, works like a city representative or contact. When clicked by any coalition member brings up a text window with custom text. Who can edit this sort of text is defined by a new SG permission item. Great for coordinating events, coalition schedules, general policies, or use simply for RP and atmosphere
Limitations: as stated, these fields could be edited to any SG member of ranks permitted to edit NPC fields. Not edited via base mode. Perhaps only a limited number of these NPC's per base? Can't imagine needing more than 3 - 5?

Wish list:
Things that have an effect:
1. Conversion of Influence to Prestige at a better ratio than it is now(10,000,000 - 20,000)
2. Installable doors(click open-will stay open until closed-choice of skins)(if we cant have doors, then allow us to place rooms next to each over)
3. Reduce ridiculous costs for base plots, rent, and upper end items(if Prestige isnt currency, then why do we spend it on items, and worse yet, rent?)
Temp power creator (I have no doubt this could be flashier)
Originally suggested by: Weirdscience
Category: Workshop
Customizable? No
Type: X# of temp powers found by SG
Description: When a SG member finds a new Temp power it is "Flagged" and is able to be built here using salvage.
Limitations: No timed temp (X# of days powers) may be built, only X# of uses-type or amount of time used-type powers. Examples being; Flamethrower, SMG, Void rifle, Hyper-stealth, jetpack, grenades, ect.
Desk computer

Description: Its a Computer, you can put it on a desk
Limitations: None
The Larch
Originally suggested by: the ministy of silly walks
Category: other/decor
Customizable? Y
Type: unlocked
Description: The Larch. stands tall in bases, usually with many others of its kind around it waiting to be identified. May be costumizable to have an ex-Parrot in its branches.
Limitations: people without training often confuse it for a Scotish pine and singe silly songs about cutting down trees and eating lunch near by it.

There's one thing I'd really like to see..
Beds
Suggested by: Me!
Category: Decorative
Custom: No
Type: Purchased
Description: See also, cot, hammock, bunk, bunkbed, sleeper couch, futon, twin, queen, king, etc. Something to sleep on. Would allow us to actually have living quarters. The two hospital type beds just don't cut the mustard.
I really just want NPC's, whenever I go into my base I'm lucky to see one other person in there...
IMO bases need to be more lively.
Plaques
Suggested by: Me
Category: Decorative
Custom: Yes
Type: Purchased
Description: You can set up several plaques in your base. You can costumize what the text says on the plaque, maybe having only one to describe the base in general, or an entire hallway of plaques describing each member of your supergroup.
I think this would be cool with the new Veteran Reward weapon displays. For example, having a Nemesis rifle mounted on the wall, and then underneath it you could tell a story about your SG and the Nemesis, and how you got the rifle.
Weapon Racks
Suggested by: Me
Category: Storage
Custom: No
Type: Purchased/Craftable
Description: You can place weapon racks, clicking of which yields a limited-use temp power, depending on rack (IE Submachinegun Rack gives SMG Burst, Rifle Rack gives Adv. Assault Rifle Heavy Burst and so on). Higher-end racks have to be crafted and may yield more powers per click (for example, the best sword rack might yield 3 or 4 attacks, all on the same timer).
Wall Doors
Suggested by: Me
Category: Decorative
Custom: No
Type: Purchased
Description: Several type of doors to be put on walls, for example large warehouse doors to use as base entrance and/or to suggest places for future base expaansion.

Hiya all, new to this so here i go. I and my SG/VG love base raiding and we would love to see this or something like it.
Name: Randomizer or some better name if u can think of one
suggested by: me Settish
catagory: aux (gets added to raid teleporter)
customozable: no
type: unlocked by getting SG Badge, win some friendfly raids, u have to attk to win this.
Description: This device attaches to raid Tper and every 10 mins in a base raid it changes ur spawn in location, this way the defenders cant sit and camp one location threw out the entire raid.
liminatations: 1 per raid Tper and at least 50-100 pts in control and power. Also has to be built from salavge, not to hard but should use up some of the pesky spells of power or alien tech.
hope i filled this out right for u all.
It occurs to me that in order to do this there would need to be a limitation to keep people from blocking off sections entirely.

Thin Walls/doors
Suggested by: Someone else, I'm just revising.
Category: Decorative
Custom: No
Type: Purchased
Description: Basically, similar to the placement of pillars, placable walls matching the decor of the room, except incredibly thin. As walls right now are simply huge columns of filled in space, these would serve as thinner dividers to partition off space in a room. The walls would be from the floor to the cieling, and likely come in lengths of one floor tile to one half of a tile, placable at the edges between floor tiles. Selections Would also include wall sections with doors. If placable along sections of floor that are raised on one side of the wall and lowered on the other, it would be nice.
