AE Mission Teleportal for Bases

I really enjoy playing and creating AE Missions but there is room for more improvements. Like with Ouroboros there should be a teleportal in the bases to get to them. I achieved the badge for making and tweaking the AE missions without entering their buildings in various zones. Now to find your team and to get there can be a bit of a pain. To put in a Teleportal for AE Missions in our bases would save us time with ease.

what would be cool is if we could zone back into the sg.

I have to be the Nay sayer in this, and I have a few reasons why.

First off, every single AE building is located in a zone in which our base has the ability to have a porter to said zone placed such as AP Cap or RWZ.

Second, the last thing we are in need of is more porters, we need to get the Devs to focus on bases, yes, but we as a base community need to ban together and decide what are the IMPORTANT base issues we need covered first. Base bugs, perhaps a more efficiant building system, an UNDO button of sorts, or even an offline editor so we can build without lag, or having to edit at odd hours so we don't disrupt the rest of our SG families.

Third, I have to say the community is 50/50 on the AE and if it should even be in the game. I enjoy using it for intended purpose, but many people feel different on this matter. To give everyone a base portal to the AE is like pushing the issue on people who (in all fairness) shouldn't be pushed to use a feature they don't care for in game.

Now, if I was to "want" anything in my base, it would be to have a "science booster tailor" made availible in the base, perhaps look like the hologram in the AE building, or a new version of mystic advisor that we can place in the energy room (just an example room) and be able to access the new tailor version. Those without the booster would have limited access to a "normal" tailor version from the base. this way no one would feel pressured to buy the booster.

What would be better is, as long as you are on a team you could enter an AE mission in any AE building not just the zone sort of like train missions...


It's better to save the Mystery, than surrender to the secret...

I agree with this, and have been saying it for a while. It'd be like the X-Men's Danger Room.

Add this ability to the existing Mission Computer!

I mean, it's got the perfect name already!

I see myself as witty, urbane, highly talented, hugely successful with a keen sense of style. Plus of course my own special brand of modesty.

And let me using my Mission Architect PDA in my base.

Or like a Star Trek holodeck!

You sorta could. Instead of exiting the mission normally, use the base teleporter vet power.

Make it craftable. Only those who want it would have it.

Those tailors are surgeons. They go in the infirmary!

So, what I am hearing is you want the single easiest to use mission getting and playing system to cater to you even more?

Entitled much?

I agree! It would give the mission computer some more use but would you be able to write your own missions from there as well or do you have to go to the AE building?

/signed, if only because I suggested the exact same thing right after MA was released:

http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=129267

The mission computer doesn't even offer the nonexistent Cathedral of Pain trial now. All it does is insult me. "Not for the likes of me"? I BUILT you, you @#$%^&* piece of !@#$%....

Basically, my idea was to make the Mission Computer a mini-AE, with arcs selected by SG leaders. They would have to be valid arcs currently published in the AE-- the SG leaders put their favorites, or arcs by SG members, in the Mission Computer list.

Then stick a mini-hologram column, phone-booth sized, next to the mish computer. Or rig it to where the mission shows up on the list of available destinations on the base teleporters' list, like when we have an outdoor mission accessed at the train station.

It wouldn't introduce any more farming into the game than what's already there, it would be a good way for people to get their stories played, and it would also add more activity to bases, turning them into a true meeting place. Stick a red blinking light on the computer when there are new arcs, and bam, you have a TroubAlert-- creating the illusion that your SG is being contacted to take on an emerging threat.

Signed again. ...Can I get in trouble for that?
