Windowscapes: moon, undersea, stars, maybe even lava.

This. Windows with a view. Let us pick the surrounding area then let us put windows in. So I pick, say, "Forest" and the windows show a forest scene. N/S/E/W windows show different views. Sun rises and sets. Possible areas:
[*]Deep space (stars hurtling by, Star Trek style)[*]Earth Orbit[*]On the moon[*]On some ringed planet[*]Galactic orbit[*]Forest (normal forest or with the base up in a huge tree)[*]Antarctica (with or without wandering penguins )[*]Beach[*]Mountain top[*]Under water[*]Shadow Shard[*]Inside a volcanoe[*]Moving out on the ocean[*]Out in the ocean near Paragon City or one of the Rogue Islands[*]Castle. The base would be the castle itself so there would be castle walls out the windows.[*]Nether world - just a lot of strange, rolling colors with a touch of lightning and fire.[*]Inside the sun - did I mention windows should also act as a light source?[*]Up in a tornado. Every few minutes, a couple of old guys in a rowboat will fly by and wave.[*]Underground tomb, along the lines of what is in Dark Astoria down at the Seeker of the Unknown badge.[*]Near a black hole. Preferably one that's eating a star or some such so you can tell that it's there.[*]NCNC studios. Only people with the Bug Hunter badge can use this.

Building blocks of varying sizes so we don't have to keep using counters and desks to create second levels.

This would be very nice...

One fairly small thing I'd like to add to this:

A request for "Floor Tiles", Desks/Building Blocks, and this sort of thing - with VERY simple Textures that don't (won't) tear and flicker when overlapped, please!?

I would love to have the bar items that are in pocket D available to us. I'd also love to have some varying building blocks as well. I also want the medical stuff that is already in the tailors Villain side. I figure since the stuff in the bars and medical stuff is already used in game it shouldn't be a big deal to add it to base stuff right????

Horizontal cable bundles, wall-mounted control panels (animated or non-), pipes horizontal, vertical, and bent with and w/o valves.

How about actual DOORS, besides the rather silly restroom trio?

I guess this is a thread I can get away with posting to without reading. Pretty sure models & skins for all of these items exist, so this post gives BAB a break.

* Lockers
* Mannequins
* Cars
* Hazard signs
* Chain link fence
* "Windows"
* Cold cases (hero mutation store wall detail?)
* Magician posters (hero magic store wall detail?)
* Rikti dummies / shooting targets
* Big horizontal pipes (Terra Volta)
* Sci-fi metal detector (police departments)
* Magic wells (common magic mission glowie)

Dear Santa Dev.
I've been a mostly good girl this year, and even kicked the habit of That Other MMO and am back to CoX for good. If it wouldn't be too much trouble, there are a few items on my list that i'd like added to base editor selection, and i know several others of the building community have already asked for them. My list includes:
<ul type="square">[*]New wall and floor textures for a more nature-based room (mebbe an ivy or hedge wall for low/med/high walls, and sky or forest view for med/high walls only)[*]water effects without using slow fields (don't get me wrong, it works great, but you can only use so many in certain rooms, and it limits creativity)[*]the ability to select NO ceiling/floor trim, instead of shoving something against the wall/ceiling at regular intervals and hoping no one notices.[*]individual glasses, bottles, dinnerware, vases with and without flowers[*]everything Propelled by a gravity controller/dominator [*]Kitchen items: stove, fridge, microwave, hood, dishwasher, and even a hanging pots-and-pans rack if you're feeling extra generous (though i probably haven't been good enough this year for that. I'll try harder next, i promise!)[*]windows looking out onto lots of scenes. someone else said it better'n me, but forests, deserts, mountains, space stations, underwater, moonscape, planetscapes, etc.[*]there's one very handy floor tile. Can we get more? Would you please look into doing similar place-able wall tiles? Kitchen/bath/wood planks etc.[*] how about a ceiling option that actually looks like sky? The tech options are close and people have done amazing things with them, but could you imagine what else we could accomplish?[*]Furniture. preferably colourable in SG/VG colours. Beds, specifically, but also more couch / chair / table options sized to actually fit an average (6') super-person, or better yet, 3 sizes of furniture (small would fit someone 4', med 6', large 8')?[*]World Peace[*]flowers in planters of various sizes.[*](more) decorative lighting. braziers like the arcane resurrection item, chandaliers, pendant lights, rope lights. ceiling fans[*]thin wall segments for partitioning rooms. in 4' and 8' lengths, and in 4' and 8' heights, please. (4x4, 4x8, 8x4 and 8x8) or simplify and just do 4x4 and 8x8. Base Editors are a patient lot, and we'll worth with what you bring us.[*]I'd request Z-axis controls for easier floating / stacking, but in quiet rumination, i think that would actually annoy me a lil more than just using our magic everything we have now...[*] the ability to position something on a 45*angle.[*] teevees, radios, alarm clocks. ooooooh, a big ginormous wall clock that displays server time. grandfather, grandmother, cuckoo clocks.[*]single books, notepads, etc, similar to the small stack of books and the stack of papers.[*]hunting trophies: deer, elephant, buffalo, lion, kudu, stuffed foxes, ermine, bears. Not somethin' i'd be inclined to use much though some of them could be used in nature bases as "wild-life"[*] decorative handrails, balustrades, banisters, in wood, wrought iron, and stainless steel.[*] wall art. impressionist works like Paul Cornoyer's "The Plaza After Rain" (my fave painting!), photographs in black and white or colour, of famous international landmarks, abstract or cubist art, weird colour splotch/splashes(or smeared versions of supergroup emblems. that'd be kinda neat...)[*]an end to my rambing...[/list]
Wait, what? Wow, lookit the time. I better get this mailed off before Christmas.

Such a cute way to ask ! Let's hope that SantaDev &amp; his DevElves think it as cute as I do and and grants you your wishes.

/wiggles

thanks, Az. Really had to cut myself short there, i probably could have carried on for two more pages.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays. Hope everyone's safe and warm and loved this season. (I'm usually such a Bumhug this time of year. I guess being back in CoX during the holidays instead of That Other MMO really does wonders for a gal's mood.)

lol

the ability to place defensive turrents on cielings and walls.

in addition to that: shading, textures, color options for all defensive items.

and still operational defensive items that look destroyed or broken or in different states of disrepair.

also ambient sounds, other than the hum of generators and such. things like birds doin' bird stuff, wind, traffic, people talking, other animals, surf, fog horns, etc, etc..........

I would like to be able to place any item energy, control, defense, crafted, etc into a "decorative" room. The item wouldn't be functional, of course since it's not in its intended room, but it would "function" (the arcane bookshelves would have the cool glow around them unlike when they're not attached to a control item, etc.)

How about adding customizable npc guards to guard against raids? A big part of my characters story is that he has legendary crusader guards from the crusades spirits inhabiting fallen enemies bodys gaurding his fortress.
(Which is also going to be my supergroups base, so more like OUR fortress.)

this isn't necesarrily an "item", but what about wall, ceiling, and floor textures that are more organic. Instead of having to get super creative with the tech complex ceiling to give the appearance of clouds, we could have various "sky" textures, the same for the walls there could be "landscape" textures or even large wall hangings to use as backdrops kinda like movie sets sometimes use.

I must agree with Jynxie on the last two requests. My request is that we have all of this salvage now, how about being able to "invent" some cool decorative stuff for our bases? Things like the windows, rugs for the floor, different bookshelves, auras around decrative items that sort of thing. Unless your planning on doing a buch of base raids I don't see the point to some of the things that you can invent once your have your teliporters built.

Thought of more things i would lurve to see:
<ul type="square">[*] More columns: Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian, specifically.[*] Double Doors[*] Entry hatches that open/close, like in tech bases and certain oranbega missions.[*] Mirrors. (Scrying Paintings are nice, but only work in control rooms.) Standing, Hanging. Plate glass mirrors of varying sizes like you see in commercial bathrooms. Even if the reflection is super-blurry.[*] I mentioned flowers several times in my last wish-list. i can has pretty flowers, prease? vases, planters, rosebushes, TULIPS /sighs dreamily. [*] flowering trees, mebbe? dogwood, apple, cherry, pear (that should cover the colour spectrum of flowering trees) palm trees! nearly forgot! there's some outside the vip lounge in pocket D.[*] how about the "unloved" plants in some door missions? the leaf-less trees, brown and wilted plants, etc. while we're on that thread--those missions have a unique office tileset. very warm and golden. i wants.[*] unlit floor torches and tech torches. sometimes the wick burns low, or bulb blows, and you haven't gotten around to replacing it yet, but still want to show it in your base.[*] ooh, hey, while we're talking about lighting: how about that iconic bare lightbulb hanging from a cord on the ceiling? ((this ))[*] bedside / end table lamps with shades. Something like this. or, heaven forbid, this. [*] stone lions: sitting, standing, reclining. mebbe lil sphinxes? Sphinx Avenue, Temple of Luxor, Egypt Pick a lion. any lion. [*] elevator wall details. even if they don't open like the do in missions.[*] laptop computers. opened /closed. computers with LCD screens. for serious, who uses CRTs anymore (unless you're at work like me, and the boss won't spring for a computer or monitor newer than 2002 x_x)[*] camera monitoring systems. they have them outside of buildings in CoV, and inside of door missions too. be a cool wall/ceiling detail. /nudge-wink-say-no-more. [*]would need a big honkin' wall of snow-fuzz display monitors to complement it. or a single row of 4 together that are stackable to fill a wall. awesomesauce. Big Brother is Watching you! Arachnos sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He knows when you've been bad (not good!), so be bad, for badness' sake. ((/groan))[*] apartment-style mailbox slots or PO Box details.[*] flavour signs found in game. Dangerous, Keep Out, Employees Only, Reactor, etc[*] ceiling, floor and wall direction indicators. left, right, straight arrows.[*] the ability to decorate in doorways. that no-man's land looks even more abysmal now that we can crowd the rest of the rooms so prettily. At least wall details and ceiling / wall lights, please. i can understand nothing on floors or blocking pathing for doorways.[/list]
i'm done for a few days. i promise. /keeps fingers crossed behind back.

Mirrors would be a MAJOR change to the game engine. They'd have to make the mirrors so blurry they'd really be like that ugly metallic finish all over Grandville.

Doors would be nice, but they'd screw up raids so I wouldn't bet on them.

but they have the stupid trio of bathroom doors! why not have some "doors" it would make some of our bases look more homey.

If you mean "doors just stuck to walls as decoration" then the devs could do that.

If you mean "doors that provide access from one area to the next" then no - you won't see them for the foreseeable future.

Here's a few didn't see listed but would like.
[*]Food Turkey, Ham ,Pizza, Sushi, Burgers, Fries, Shakes, Soda, Coffee, Tea, Hotdogs, Steak, Cerial Boxes, Canned food.
[*]Glasses Wine, Beer, Soda w/t straws, Martini, Champagne, Daiquiri &amp; Margarita.
[*]Resturant stuff Dishes + Cups all shapes and sizes, Dish washer, Tables w/t candles/cloth, Specials board, Ovens inc Convection, Deep Frier, Grill, Pizza &amp; Microwaves.
[*]Bathroom accessories Sinks, Hand dryers, Paper rolls, Toilets, Showers, Towel racks, Urinals, Soap dish, Curtains, Faucets, Drains, Shampoo &amp; Womens stuff like makeup and so-on.
[*]Sports Basketball, Football + helmets and gear, Baseball, Hokey &amp; Socker.
[*]Beer Cases, 30 packs, 6 packs, 40's, Single, Kegs, Cans &amp; Bottles.
[*]Wine Bottle racks, Cases, Bottles &amp; lol... boxes.
[*]Cobwebs
[*]Hangmens Noose
[*]Electric Chair
[*]Grated fencing
[*]Wall outlets/plugs
[*]Laundry Washer, Drier, Baskets, Discarded outfits on floor, Hangers w/t &amp; w/o clothes.
[*]Cleaning Supplies Mop, Bucket, Cleaning Solutions/Soap, Wet Floor Sign.

Darn I forgot the milk, I allways forget the milk.

Water water water water.....

also the ability to turn things in 45 degree increments on the floors and walls

the ability to change 1/4 of the grid square your working on(in other words 1/4 the grids)

more objects.

and the ability to turn things upside down and place them on floor or ceiling.

Don't know if its been mentioned or not, but I'd like to see decorative specail effects. Things like ground fog, dripping water, a ghostly mist, a fiery wall, icy ground, a mistical vorex, falling rocks, etc.

I big time Second that!!! Please!
How about some feed back on all this stuff from the Red Names!

Surely someone has suggested medical beds before? The 2 torture / restraint beds we have now aren't very fitting to a medical bay... or have I missed them?

I'd like the ones that can be thrown by the gravs.
