Once you have a 8 room base, with 6 dimesional Anchors and hold an IoP (from the SG Mission computer thats not yet active) then you have a raidable base. Although not advisable at that point as you will have no defence or structure in place to withhold defence from an attackers team.
You will need to switch the plot to a secure plot, and then have choke points installed that you can add gunnery and other defence into. (bearing in mind your power and control can get attacked in a raid) - this costs millions 3 mil prestige for the basic secure plot size that wont really benifit a good raidable base. so start with the next size up, I think thats 5 mil and thats JUST for the plot size. - then you need an extra 150-400k per room size, then choke points, (very expensive) and then equiptment on top of that. so looking at about 10-15 mil before you even have anything worthy, well thats at least for a fully raidable IoP base. - However you can ignore all the above if you just want a instant raid base, where IoP does not matter, and items if destroyed are automatically repaired, more for fun than anything else really.
The above is not based on actual figures, just a guestimate as Im at work so cant tell you what things cost. - You can try and read the US boards for more accurate information as they already have fully raidable bases it seems.
our base is raid worthy with no defense at all cost around 1.5mil prestige it can be done, mission computer also has a SF with badge on it, so not a waste of space although some of the workbench/forge items are, holodisplay was nice looking but a let down so was the scrying painting(arcane).
Our base is coming along nicely - we now have teleport capabilities to CF & PP. All good, although it would have been nice if the mission computer did something other than just take up space.
Anyway, my question to those of you with more developed bases is; how much does it cost to get to the point where you're ready to not only go get an IoP but to get to the point where you have a defensible base.
I would assume you'd need a larger plot, some automated defences and some cash in the bank to repair damage and get fully operational after a raid - else you'll be easy meat for the next raid.
Anyway, just curious as to what either people's impressions are or how much their SG has actually spent.
