I'll start us off with a group of items I'd like...
More stuff to hang from ceilings.<ul type="square">[*]Chandeliers[*]Dome lights[*]Hanging SG Logo Banners (Arachnos uses these types of banners everywhere)[*]Ventilation ducts[*]Fans[*]Cables (like the ones dangling off the AES, or in the Arachnos labs)[*]Stalagtites[*]Catwalks / scaffolds / support beams[/list](I'll remember to edit this with screenshots later.)
Pocket D....yup all of it
There's a TON of stuff in Mr. Yin's store that would be great, seriously - there's even a fast-food style soda machine back in there on one of the shelves.

Mad... I have a lot of respect for you, so please just realize that any snark you're seeing in this post isn't directed at you.
That being said... why? Why waste our time making yet another list that they're just going to flush down the toilet like they did the last 2 lists we made, like they did the list the PvPers made.
Seriously man, why? 
<QR>
Decorative, completely non-functional, right?
Different wall textures, a la the offices in CoV
More "art" to hang on the wall - I am so sick of the same 2 ginormous pictures and one little dinky white rectangle and the weird black linked rectangles. There are lots f very cool pix hanging on the walls in instances, I want them.
Snack machines, coffee makers, microwaves, refrigerators, etc. - stuff to make kitchens & break rooms look better.
Smaller Arcane decor, including the gargoyles thrown by Grav trollers
On the same note - most of the stuff thrown by Grav Trollers, including the burned-out car shell (would be nice in your sewer base)
Televisions.
The computer stations seen in Council bases.
Different couches, chairs in colors besides black
Room detail items to set on desks - blotter pads, pencil holders, staplers, books between bookends.
Most of the stuff in the Midnighters' Club
Altoholic - but a Blaster at Heart!

I would love ceiling options like in the Warehouse or Pocket D zones, something other than a flat panel.

because *right now* the devs are finishing off I13 and giving us means to expand bases.
What better time to say "so in this larger base, my new empty rooms you're letting me buy, it's time I had a refridgerator." or pool table. coat rack. treadmill. stereo speakers. drum kit. suitcase. gelatinous cube. whatever you want.
the goal is to present that wishlist as a simple list that may give them ideas - something that's not gonna happen with the whole first page debating if we're getting heard at all.

I reluctantly must agree. How many of these kind of things are we going to do? Lots of great item ideas found in other places have layed fallow for years. MadScientist, you know what these are better than most anyone. Heck, you're the person that did much of the thoughtful compiling of them.
But no disrespect to your "Mad" skills intended. And if this is how you enjoy spending time, who am I to criticize? The ideas are already overwhelmingly available though...just waiting to be implemented.
One man's terrorist is another man's freedom (or freem?) fighter; just as one man's exploit is another man's feature.
I would like to see chain link fence sections, these are all over just about every map
it would look pretty cool to have your salvage rack or somthing gaurded with fence and a gate
I think its worth the effort. Given the removable of bounding block restrictions and pathing restrictions it could open them up to do decorative things that would previously have been too restrictive (walls, for example). Here's a list from me.
[*]Pinball machines, such as in Pocket D
[*]Delivery truck, such as the one parked in Pocket D
[*]Portals, like the CoT demon portals, and tech versions similar in size but looking more like the portal corp portals
[*]Pool tables. See the easter egg area in faultline for example
[*]Bars and Barstools. Again, pocket D.
[*]Target Dummies, as in the Vanguard base in the RWZ. Could also be functional like those, or purely decorative.
[*]Decorative walls. Basically, take the lateral file and double the height and length, change the texture to one that will fit for tech and one that will fit for arcane. Add another variation of each with a standard sized doorway cutout. Add as many colors and textures as you can afford to, resource wise. Add the ability to stack, if possible.
Nailed all of my wants, so I'll just second Greyhawke's post.
Especially barstools. Couch-type chairs just don't fit for a bar.
Real beds
Beertaps (Pocket D)
Liquor bottles (Pocket D)
Seperator walls as Greyhawke described
Vending machines, pool tables, slot machines. etc. We need fun stuff
More wall art
Computers with keyboards
Standalone workstations - basically the computer that is attached to several decorative objects and the tech teleporters
Those would make me happy.

# Hanging SG Logo Banners (Arachnos uses these types of banners everywhere)

You can do this in i13 now. The base I have on Test has banners hanging from the ceiling in the middle of rooms and hallways.

Ok, if you insist...I'll play
How about everything in the thread "Decorative Base Items We Want... and Exist" + all the decorative items in the thread "Consolidated List of Base Suggestions"? There's more of course ("Base Items We'd Like to See", "Base Items We'd like to see, Mk. 2", etc, etc, etc) but these would make a great start 
Done and I've contributed more than anyone. Next issue.
Sorry for the snark.

My Corner of DeviantART
The Queen's Menagerie
A much more complete set of sewer items.
Working elevators and multiple floors.
Windowscapes: moon, undersea, stars, maybe even lava.
Working doors, even if they're only roll-up doors, that we can lock.
An "arena" room where SG-mates can PvP with each other.
An influence bank.
A portal room to the Shard.
A tailor station.
NPCs to staff the base with.
Statues or posters of our characters.
A real store to sell stuff at that doesn't require 5 million points of healing.
A Wentworth's/Black Market station.
And please release thousands of decorative items to the base palette.
Goldbrick 50 inv/ss tank
Other 50s: Power Beam, Rocky Mantle, STORMIE Agent, Matchless, Major Will, Knightmayor, Femstone, Space Maureen, Crimebuster Ako, Dr. Twilight, Doc Champion, American Gold Eagle
I want to see more things that make it feel like a home/pad:
stacks of pizza boxes (turtle power)
game systems
TV's with images of news and sports rather than medical info
basketball hoops
dart boards
laundry bins
different styles of beds (bunks, woo!)
kitchen appliances
slaved NPCs (think Alfred or something. hey, someone has to clean up!)
jukeboxes or something that allows music to be played in the base
pets/aquariums
tools/garage type decor
arcade games
barstools
fitness equipment (bench press, free weights, exercise bike, treadmill)
targetable dummies like in the Vanguard base (combat/target practice)
Poker Table....

Of course, I could settle for them making the small bookscases stackable with the same properties as the floorsafe. Then this
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...cohdoorway.jpg
becomes simple enough to build
LOL, all of the above!
And as mentioned, release more stuff that already exists; Council Base Decor, Long Bow Base Decor, and Sky-Raider Base Decor.
Stairs of different heights, appearances and arrangements. (Goes back to multi-story complexes I guess).
Cafeteria Decor; Serving line, Bufet tables, Dining utensiles, heck, everybody gotta eat.
Just simple Kitchen Stuff, if the above is to much bother.
Ditto the Weights/Training Room already mentioned.
A Garden set, with natural wall, floor, and ceiling tiles to work with. No planters, but the plants themselves that can be placed. Benches as would be aesthetically pleasing in such a place, cobblestone walkways that can be placed, or floor tile arrangements to make it possible.
More medical equipment for decor in the Medical Area of the Base; MRI, Cat-Scan, X-Ray equip, Nurses Station, Nurses?, Real Hospital Beds to choose from other that the Torture version offered now, X-Ray Lights both on and off, some blank, some displaying x-rays.
Ditto on TV's that are not showing statistics and madical Info, and whatever else the ones now are showing.
Sure I'll think of more.
Black-Strike: lvl 50 AR/Dark Corruptor
Brutally Beautiful: lvl 50 BA/Inv Brute
Seared Earth: lvl 50 EC/EA Dominator
Yashi Onuku: lvl 50 Ninja Blade/Ninjitsu Stalker
Death-Widow: lvl 50 Night Widow
I'd just like a bed that doesn't look like a torture device. And a friggin' refridgerator.
Oh, windows. Why does my base have to be underground?
There's a new Beacon to Cimerora now, isn't there? I could use some Roman stuff to decorate with....
With I13 coming, perhaps it's time for a new list of Base Items We'd Like To See.
[/list]
We'll probably all be adding new rooms this issue and saying "if only I had a _________"
Since functional ideas tend to get pretty good discussions in their own threads (and easily linked in the big Issues thread), I figured maybe we need a spot just to focus on all those decorations we want.
Things to keep in mind:<ul type="square">[*]Devs like lists. Much easier to read than paragraphs.[*]If it exists in-game, consider linking a screenshot, or at least a description of where to find one.[*]This is brainstorming, not a survey; /signing doesn't make any one idea better than the others.
