You can actually fit everything you want into an 8x12. It's a bit cramped, but I did it (pre-I13, when stuff was expensive). It cost me about 6 mil back then, but with the lowered prices for rooms, etc, I suspect you can do it for a fraction of that now (perhaps 4 mil?).
I took some time and added up what I think I'll need and came up with 4.03 mil. so we are either right, or wrong in the same direction. I found an excel tool in the guides that let me play with room placement a little and I got everything into a 12x12 not sure if I could shoehorn into an 8x12 .. ohh wait looks like you are correct sir 8x12 will work for the crap I want.

Well I think it will be between 4-6 million. I am in the process of trying to get the second teir generator in my base and that costs a mill to place so.... I will let you guys do the math, unless someone here knows a cheaper way of powering all telipads and medbay and have some spare power for less...
There isn't any cost difference anymore between the secure and hidden plots (at least not much if any difference) so the cheapest way would be to goto a secure plot and have 2 power rooms (or one that can hold 2 power units)
try that i think its cheaper then moving to the tier 2 but not by much. This is a better cost saver when you need to upgrade from one tier 2

So a few years late, I am finally getting around to starting a solo sg. The group I run with is great, but I got the bug to build a more efficient base. I took an couple alts started the SG got a base, and ran around a bit last night collecting 1/2 a mil prestige.

Wait, are you saying you earned half a million prestige in an evening?
Or does this include: 1) the 300K from 15 starting toons and/or 2) trading in influence?
P.S. The right way to do this would have been to plan ahead, back when they had the prestige grant. I have 2 SGs and a VG with no bases, but sitting on over 6 million prestige from the grants.

I have 9 members so far I dual boxed for a while and between the two earned a bit over 300K for a total of little over 500K

Uhh, wasn't that almost two years ago, I know hindsight is 20/20 and all, but I gave away all my stuff, quit the game for over a year, came back, re-purpled my mains etc .. since then. At no point until yesterday would I have guessed I would have ever wanted my own base.
but thanks for the advice!

Oh, right, I had forgotten that you quit and gave away all your stuff. Probably because you didn't give me any.

THEN I started reading a few guides and wikis and what not. From my preliminary research it looks like having a utilitarian base with max storage, transport, and a rez ring I am looking at about 6mil prestige. how far off am I?
I am assuming I can squeeze everything into a 12x16 plot, or will I need to go bigger?
Also I was thinking I want to make basically a warehouse of a base is there some trick to creating the "rooms" with out walls?
Finally is there some kind of mids like tool for base building?
