Ooh we need a new salvage for the moon. . . . Crackers! We need something to spread all that green moon cheese on. 
Mmmmmm . . . Moon cheese . . .
Green Cheese.... yum...
Thank you Shadus I appreciate your praise. I too hate caves. Although the new caves I saw in a few upper villain side missions were very nice. Nice and wide, no narrow stuff. As caves go, I loved them.

Arachnos Base
The Arachnos Moon Base was constructed underground and is commonly referred to as the Lunar Labyrinth. Lord Recluse's ships brought tunneling equipment and immediately put them to use. Within weeks a small base was dug out, and an advance teleportation device set up. Afterward Arachnos Base expanded quickly and discovered a warren of subterranean tunnels these tunnels were quickly transformed into part of the base. Arachnos Base encroached on the underground territory of the Igneous, and the Igneous have begun launched numerous Subterranean attacks on it in an effort to drive them out of the caverns. The Igneous are slowly overwhelming the Arachnos troops, any help you can give them would be greatly appreciated, contact the Arachnos Base Security Chief to give them a hand. A Peacebringer and Warshade contact can be found next to the chief.

Since we now have a definative NO on warshade/PB for villains... best to move this contact to the neutral or hero base?
As my additional idea to the zone... you're on the moon. the potential for daytime/nighttime zone effects is quite high. Sun sets? you're instantle subjected to extreme cold(slow, -recharge) Sun's up? Solar radiation bakes you alive(very minor DoT) Is it eclipse time again? penalty to acc. And don't forget the completely random meteor showers, and occasional asteroid impact! Could even have those effects mitigated by the temp-power spacesuits found at each airlock(ideally, destroyed based on damage recieved... but timed could be thematically worked in as scrapes, scratches, and general degradation from use in a harsh environment)
And I hereby officially vote +1 for the Knight of Iron Star badge.
MoonCheese : You have spent the night out under the stars, feasting on mooncheese with KoIS.

I'd also think the Rikti might show up, but maybe only to the extent that, say, the Trolls show up in KR. You know, occaisonally have one or two rikti watching the igneous or plants going "Why didn't this place show up on the scanners?" Perhaps they could show up in one or two of the new alien missions, just have one or two fighting near the entrance saying "Earth is OURS!!!"
[/ QUOTE ]
Definately a ToDo for any moon based zone. how could the ritki NOT want a moon base of their own? or at least TRY to take over the ones already there?
[ QUOTE ]
I don't know why, or in what context, but some mission must involve you 'zapping' some sort of enemy units, to culminate in the 'Moon Unit Zapper' badge.

Matching mission. You have put your electric rifle to good use, and eliminated the first Moon gangsta. You have recieved Da Weasle Zapper badge
Oh My God! Ace you just made my day! I love the idea of a Moon type zone maybe with another type of alien other than rikti?

Not that it really matters because I know who I am when I read the credits you acknowledged, but when I chose my avatar I changed my forum name from Bounzer to Forbin_Project.
I'm thrilled you liked my suggestion enough to include it. Sorry if I didn't say thanks sooner.

"Let's face it everyone thinks the 5th column are Nazi's so you have to include the rumor of a villain whose brain is being kept alive in a jar." 
it's come a long way since back then. 133 rates. I'm still stunned by that. The question is how many were good rates?

I never understood the flak. It's not like the moon is an area that needs travel powers to traverse impassable terrain, like grandville or terra volta.
One question Golden. How do you plan this zone to be? Would it be one GIANT zone, A closed of part of the moon like a zone in Paragon City or several Zones like Fire Base Zulu?
Wait another thing how do we breathe? (I am not trying to shoot you down just trying to add a little more.) Would we get special space suit? (Would it be costume piees and you would have to wear that costume, would it be a power like an accolade? would it be a temp?) Or is it just because we are Uber we can breathe normally?

Please understand I'm not trying to be rude, but if you read the description of the Moon Zone in its entirety you'll see the answers to your questions. 
Will heroes like myself (who don't use travel powers and are just fast thanks to other abilities) get a slow penalty or would we be fine?
Also I loved the monolith badge idea.
I'd almost want to request the Task force be named Operation: Moon Raker, but I don't think anyone would appreciate that.

moonraker.... 
you would be fine. the idea was to just have the travel power turned off, or unclickable, at least until after the taskforce is completed (gives you a reason to do the taskforce).

Discovery
Mare Vaporum or "Sea of Vapors" as it is known in English is an area that has been shrouded in mystery for centuries. For unknown reasons and unbeknownst to most of humanity it maintains a temperate environment and a breathable atmosphere. The Atmosphere in the Mare Vaporum was first discovered in the late 1940's after the Second World War but was classified Eyes Only because of political tensions at the start of the cold war.
[/ QUOTE ]
And for certain missions outside the Mare Vaporum in the hard vacuum of space.
[ QUOTE ]
Taskforce
With special thanks to
Soltares for some new Ideas. (I have in mind something like an Ancient Alien artifact that causes the Mare Vaporum to have a livable environment) Discover the secrets of the Mare Vaporum - Several tasks, the first of which is to find out what the 5th Column has been working on in a hidden lab. A kill all mish, which ends when each team member has collected one of the items the 5th Column was working on. (each team member would have to collect an experimental alien tech Atmospheric Belt, much like in the Terra Volta Reactor core for the mission to end) You discover that the 5th Column has uncovered some of the alien atmosphere sustaining technology, and have taken samples of it, and have discovered the location of several ancient alien bases located outside of the atmospheric bubble. Your contact has directed you use the Atmospheric Belts to explore each of the alien bases outside the Mare Vaporum on the lifeless surface of the moon.
The Vacuum of Space.
Traveling in the vacuum of space without a temporary atmospheric belt power should cause damage similar to that of being in the Terra Volta reactor without a bubble. However I would like this to be untyped damage so it's not resistible (everyone has the same damage being done to them). Now for those of you who have characters who don't breath because they're robots, encased in armor, or have other backstory attributes that allow them to withstand the harshness of outer space. Use your imagination, and think of the damage as solar radiation, the extreme heat or cold of space rather than the lack of air if you must. However to make it fair, everyone should take damage for being in vacuum. I would however like a way to turn off the bubble graphic so that it doesn't show for concept reasons.

I've been on test and I12 is great. It is paving the way for something we've been asking for, for a very long time. There are 2 dead givaways of what I'm referring to.
1.) We can swim underwater.
2.) The Roman NPC's throw spears for weapons.
Now what does this add up to?
THE MOON ZONE!
http://moonwhalers.ytmnd.com/
'We're whalers on the moon,
We carry a harpoon,
For they ain't no whales
So we tell tall tales
And sing our whaling tune.'
I read the first post. Great ideas. So far all the stories seem to be biased towards the heroes (don't really mind that though, after visiting RV with my lvl 45 hero for the first time last night!)
Still, as I flip-flop from CoH to CoV - not too many interesting missions on the moon for a villain other than the Vanguard stuff. Need to flesh out missions for the baddies too!
Villain missions:
*IDEAS right now*
Steal 5th Column info (possible tie-ins to other missions)
Overrun 5th Column base (take over their base. Then goto work on
Assemble the *MoonBeam Apparatus* (working name for your own moon-based weapon, heck, why not choose your own name for your moon-based weapon?) Gather and assemble pieces to construct your weapon. (Just thought of this: could work like the Warburg Rocket missions....oh the humanity! Or, Whew! Good thing we had that *MoonBeam Apparatus up there!)
It could turn out to be a Co-Op/PvP zone! That would be crazy wicked.
Not trying to bash but I don't think we need another high level PvP zone.
If another PvP zone were to be added I would like to see it in the level 1 - 20 area where none exists now.
My imagination was just running wild.
Now, that...it would be a good idea to have a low level PVP zone for players to get "used to" PvPing...some place that could actually "HELP" players become better at PvPing, rather than a place for players to be turned off from PvP.
Hey Golden here's some You Tube clips to help support the Moon Base! Hope you enjoy.

Nice
very good, like the rock dudes to, they need more action, and i like teaming with villains from time to time ^_^
Someone who collects gold, enslaves the masses and has giant statues built of them selves can't be all bad...

I'd love to goto the moon... although lets avoid caves... hates them I do... :P
