2) If you own a secure plot, can you only put secure type rooms in it?

I am certain that the answer to this is no. Afaik you can put any kinds of rooms to secure plots.
In fact I suspect that being or not being secure is not an issue at all when placing rooms, its when you try to add a defense item on your secure room that is placed on normal plot when you learn that plots limitations overrule. ie. if you can put 0 defense items on the plot then you cannot put them on the room regardless whether room is secure or not.
If Im mistaken please correct.
PS. In short I meant that "secure" is just a name afaik. You should be looking at item limitations instead.
the diffrence between secure plots and the hiddent plots is that the secure plots can take more of the primary control and power devices, that seems to be the only real diffrence, and for me make a secure polt much more useful over a larger hidden plot.
I think ur right re putting non-secure rooms on a secure plot. I would say though that as you never really lose the prestige you spend, why not upgrade to a size up non-secure plot. I did this and put in a secure teleport room allowing some small defenses - which if nothing else look the mutts proverbials. Then when we're ready I can sell it all (you lose the salvage used to create personal items is all) and buy a secure plot.
To be honest even if you buy a secure plot (and bankrupt yourself doing so) you'll have to save the same length of time again to kit it out (defenses use more energy than you would think - medium generator I think would be a must at least on the secure plots - our basic one is now maxed out on our non-secure plot with 3 tp 1 raid tp, 2 defense, medibay, supercomputer.
Hope this helps
Lo peeps
Our SG currently have the basic 8x8 tiny plot and we would like to upgrade.
I have a couple of questions
1) Is it worth saving to go for the smallest secure plot?
2) If you own a secure plot, can you only put secure type rooms in it?
