empowerment stations will work from scratch but you need a workshop to place them in
Everything else requires power anc control so you'll need to build those rooms next...

hi there!
its all about how much prestige u got,if u wanna build sum usefull stuff.
it takes pretty much to get it started.
so if u want to keep it a 1 player SG [think not] then its gonna take ages...
we got a small supergroup with about 6 peeps and sum alts.
im playing and started out from late okt 2005 and we only got 1 or 2 things workin yet.
we do play in SG mode but not always and not every alt is,so it takes sum time.
its verry expensive to buy and build the SG base.
a lot of peeps want it 2b cheaper but others think its okay like this.
imho the issue is that u MUST have a lot of players in ur SG playing in SG mode to get a functional base faster,but still it takes sum time then. 
we dont want a large SG so its gonna take us sum time i guess [and i dont like that]
thats just how it is now. good luck and have sum patience if u wanna keep it a small SG,cause even a small base costs sum time.
conclusion: its gonna take "TIME". [sorry but thats how i feel about it]
I created a working SG base between myself and Threads with a teleporter and medical point in just 5 months. All our alts are in this group though.

I seem to have now about 690 000 prestige at the moment. I have only the base room, so haven't done anyting except some decorations. Yes, my SG will be allways single player SG. Most of my ALT's are in this SG, haven't added them all yet.
iff im correct u get 20.000 prestige on the 1st 15 toons that u get in ur SG.
so that will give u sum extra cash![prestige]
1st u get a energy room to put in a generator[power] and a controll room to put in a database[for controll]
after that i created a workshop with a workbench.[to make items from earned salvage.
after that i builded a teleport room,and added a teleport machine in it.
after that u need to get all the SG badges[in SG mode] to make beacons for that teleporter.[u place the beacons in the teleport room] then the teleporter works.
thats how far i am at the moment,and i bought all the cheapest and smallest stuff.
remember u can always sell all the items back for the same price and u can start over again if its not to ur likings.
thats all i know so far about it. hope it helps a bit!
SHOUTS* yo heroe's help wen ever u want pls!!!

First thing you will probably want is a workshop with insp, enhancement and salavge store to share stuff between your alts. After that you can either go for empowerment stations or start saving for power and control rooms. Power and control will set you back about 600k for the minimum control and power base items and then you can place either worktables to build stuff or med bay or tp rooms. For teleporters you need the basic worktable.
You'll need about 2mil from memory for a "fully functional" base.
First build a workroom, the new storage racks and buff creators fortunately don't need power and control. Next the power and control rooms - the basic generator and mainframe will just about provide enough power to run a teleporter and a medbay from memory, I know we had to keep juggling with our worktables.
You'll be close to getting these three in with what you already have (you can definately get the rooms down, not sure if you can place all the items you need)
Then it depends on what your priorities are what you place next - the medbays aren't amazing. You get dropped somewhere random in your last zone, so they're only really useful if you were in a hazard zone, and you don't come back on full health.
Teleporters are probably more useful, especially since we've been promised beacons for the normal CoH zones "soon".
The following isn't certain, but I think you get the best prestige/time returns from bosses and AV's, you certainly get the best XP/prestige ratio.
This may make you a bit happier.
You'll just have to wait a while for it to happen.
Wow!! That IS good. It just makes me cringe my teeth to see that devs once again had to "see their data" until they believed us.. Oh well, I guess it is understandable to avoid taking something away from players .. I guess they learned something from the ED incident.
Im happy!!! so will be many others! whoooopieeeeeee
That is actually so big news im expecting Bridger to make an official thread to devs corner soon.
Dangit! 7months of scrounging and saving prestige such that I'll probably have a generator (last bit to basic base, have control & kitted out workshop, will by power room tomorrow night at the latest*) by the end of next week if not before and NOW they look into doing this...
/em sighs in resignation...
On the plus side at least all the new players can enjoy the base building thing faster, hopefully they'll have fun.
*assuming no problems playing tomorrow, probably won't play tonight.
What I need for small base, what can do at least someting?
I'm in single player SG and I have base, but not much anyting in it yet. Anyting usefull what I should put there?
