Or the beat up stuff in the Atta mish. Off the top of my head, a couple destroyed signs, some half buried cars, a broken vending machine (OMG!), some road construction stuff.

* Speaking of which, that "happy hour" neon sign above Atta's throne.

* Non-functional, powered down versions of all base defenses. I would love those arcane FF generators without the shields for decoration.

* A FC Heavy or a Vanguard bot. Powered down.

Plaques, and pedestals would be nice.

Many of the items in the contact offices in Atlas or Galaxy would be cool to.

How about generically shaped hero statues, like the ones that have to be destroyed in the villain cape missions, or the ones in city hall?

It might go against the grain of the thread but what I've been wanting for a long time would be functional. I'd like the ramps and platforms you see in Crey and some Longbow missions. They could be used to make large rooms multi-tiered withiout having to recode for a true multi-story level. Would have to be able to stack items on them like you see in the mission.

When I first decided to try base building I wanted to have an office hanging from the ceiling in the control room like the ones that are in some missions with the square room with windows overlooking a larger room below. Can't be done, of course, but if they were to add in those ramps and platforms a reasonable workaround could be built. If only the basebuilder was half as robust as the costume creator we could really make some awesome bases.

Some of the carpeting and linoleum from office missions would be nice too. I would like the entrance of my base to have a corporate office feel to it before giving way to the high tech areas deeper in. I was going to use the tile piece that can be placed on floors but couldn't get anything to sit on it. No desks, chairs, or anything that I tried to stack on it. Maybe they could fix that while they go over our suggestions.

All of these special *in mission* items that have come up got me to thinking about how much stuff is really out there in the game and how, once the decision is made to actually put it into the base editor, the editor would become so unweildy (sp?) with the sheer amount of items that could be added.

Which led me to the idea of adding tabs with the name of the mission that it came from, like *office complex* *laboratory* *oranbega* *atta* *tyrant* *Statesman TF* *???? TF/SF* etc, and how these items could be unlocked after some set amount of them having been run through in SG mode?

Bah, anyhoo, prolly too much code thrown in on top, but certainly a thought on how to dvide the potential new items up into chunks.

More decorations for an oriental theme. Some missions with the tsoo have them.

I'd also like the carnie disco lights and maybe some of those circus decorations.

And I'd also like the clockwork on a swing from that one TF (Synapse?) where you go into the clockwork factory.

How about a few wall styles pulled from mission maps?
For example, the wood paneling from the Office map.
I wonder if the curved floor/ceiling in the Tech map is a trim that we could get.

How about decoy versions of the base defense items? Not only would it be interesting from a raid perspective to have a bunch of a type of defence items with only a couple real but it would also allow us non-raid base types to be able to place the cooler defense objects for decorative purposes.

If when you clicked on them, custom written SG related messages popped up. That would be coolin!

Wish:

Hot tub and pool from Faultline.

Door wall decoration. Just to suggest that there's other parts of the base, such as personal rooms.

I like this!

OK, I want (drumroll....)

Different colors for my seating, etc. I hate that ugly sorta aqua used on the various modular seating. Why can't I have the warmer orangy color that you see in villain door mishes?

Different pictures for the walls. I'm constantly stopping as I run around some of the offices in missions when a cool picture catches my eye, especially the one that is kinda like a space picture - black background with a pink blob on it and some rather star field looking graphics.

Vending machines - the functional looking ones, not the ratty broken looking ones (though those might be nice if I did a sewer theme base)

TV's (not just the tech LCDs) - they have them in the breakroom at the university.

Different wall textures - I would like to see just a plain old smooth office wall texture that I could "paint" whatever color I want.

There's probably more, I will be back later.

Wish List:
Ability to make an upper floor walk around in large rooms, Like in the Hero base in RV.

I want those targeting dummies that are in the RWZ armory. The ones that I can hit with Siphon Speed.
Add to that the items on the targeting range in Agincourt (photo coming later) and you could build your own danger room.
Could the code that makes the Rikti Dummies shootable be applied to the Agincourt Targets?
What else in the game is shootable but not destroyable? (other than NPCs in Mayhems.)

I would love the Arachnos Base Map Targetting and Weapons room...its one of my fav rooms even if it shows up so rarely.

Holographic Targets should be..moderately easy to add.

How about more looks for the equipment?

Why not a coppery sheen on the generator, or even a rusty old generator that sparks?

And tech floor lights that are in the corner of the wall and floor joint?

Oooooo! Or even neon lights for a clubbie feel?

Sparkly globe for the old roller rink/disco nostalgia...

Laser tracklights like at Pocket D...

actually, Though it is expensive to implement. Those laser lights can be added to the base. All you need to do is add a tech stealth suppressor to a secure room, preferably secure transport for it's size and price. you place it on the ceiling and it fires awesome lasers all over the place, and will boost your perc when near it
we have a stage with the Tracker lasers.

Robotics lab items; Hess TF is full of some great equipment pieces. Bots in various states of power-down or mid-upgrade. Us Robotics Masterminds would love to equip our lairs with the labs we must have in order to build our creations.

I'd like to be able to put water in my base...make a pool or just have water for the sake of...water i guess...ooo and bathroom items like toilets...so i can put that in the middle of my oversight center for laughs...would also like to see more of a variety of bookshelves and TVs, LCDs showing sciency stuff does not make for a good lobby (entrance room). O and things you'd see in a bar (wanna stick that somewhere in my base), pets, instruments, more statues, pedistals with open books on them, and those cool metal balls on poles in plastic that have electricity in them and make your hair raise when u touch em. Also, ALOT more swords, axes, hammers, polearms, guns etc in glass cases and vechicles (tanks, cars, [they alrdy got longbow chasers and arachnos flyers but] helicopters, vechicles from factions [nemisis robots, skyraider skiffs, etc], motorcycles, and assorted disassembled things), dissection tables with aliens and mutants on them, aquariums, animal cages with critters in them that walk around, and prison cells either empty, open/empty or with npcs in them.

I'll think of other things eventually...

Things I would like to see/change:

1) Talking with MANY SG/VG Leaders, this idea would benefit EVERYONE in these groups. Create some sort of "station" (floor stand, computer, wall mounted Calendar, etc.) where the SG leaders can post things like SG Team Days, Base Raids, TFs, Current Events, etc... It would be readable by ALL SG members and *Coalition members *(by option of course)* by simply walking up to the "station" and clicking on it.

This would be a very nice option to have, as it keeps everyone in the SG in the loop of what is going on. It could be just like the SG Description page, but allow MUCH more room to type things...Say 2000 letters max. (just an example)

OR

Have a calendar where we can post things in each day of the week...SG Leaders can post events for any day they choose, and maybe even allow Members to "Sign up" for each event as well. That way the SG Leader has an idea as to how many people will attend, are interested, etc...

Basically this would be like a "mini" SG website within CoX.

2) Allow all things like Arcane Blocks (Stone, Cracked, Mossy), Arcane Altars, Book Cases, etc... to be stackable. I like to do things like put plants, torches, Glass SG Stands, etc.. on top of these. The way it is now, we have to stack desks up to the desired level and place items on top of them. Then we have to remove the desks and "slide" the Arcane Blocks underneath to give us the look we want. Save us all many hours by allowing us to stack things from the get go...instead of workarounds.

3) I would LOVE to see some Chandeliers introduced into bases. I want me a huge bulky chandelier (rustic/antique looking) to go along with my Arcane style base.

4) More tabs in the base builder that have more preset options...Like a tab all by itself for "Lettering". Instead of having to create letters from many vents, allow us to choose letters from this menu and place them on the walls.




More Ideas coming soon........
