New base prices for beginners


Hammerfall

I was wandering in the uS forums and I found an info (from the developers) that can be of interest, but I don't know if it is implemented yet in the current Issue.

To address the issue of “It takes us too long to get a base that does anything useful” we are adding in some new rooms (in the same patch):


The Oversight Center (Found in the Control Rooms tab):
This is a 3x3 room that costs 50,000 Prestige. It can hold 1 Control item, 1 Storage item, and 1 Workshop item (as well as unlimited decorative items). This room is most likely going to be the first room you build in your base, and should be easily affordable by just adding a couple members into your Supergroup. “What about energy?” you ask. Well that is handled with a new Control item, a small, 25,000 prestige, generator that outputs Control and Energy to a level that is “just enough” to get the minimal functionality of the base online (that being a single Teleporter, Reclimator, and Worktable).


Med Bay:
This is a 2x2 Medical room that costs 50,000 Prestige. It has the restriction of only allowing 1 Medical item in it (no Anchors, no Aux items). This will allow you to get your “Revive in Base” functionality faster than you could previously.


Teleport Bay:
This is a 1x2 Teleport room that costs 50,000 Prestige. It has the restriction of no Dimensional Anchors and only allowing 1 Teleporter and 1 Teleport Aux Item (so your Teleporter is restricted to going to only one zone). This gives your base some limited Teleport functionality almost out the gate.


Workshop:
A new 1x2 Workshop will be available costing 50,000 Prestige. It, too, can not have any Dimensional Anchors in it, and it is limited to 1 Worktable and 1 Storage object, as well as 1 Empowerment Station.

*******************
If that is true, I'll be really happy.
On the other hand, I'm so newbie that I can't even change the style of rooms other than the one that you enter the bse...

That's long been implemented, I think they put it in sometime in July or early August

Although I have to say, the Oversight Center is a somewhat less than optimal design - being 3x3, it's larger than the usual 2x2 rooms you'd normally put into a beginner base - and that somewhat limits your base-building options.

Yes, the rooms have been here for some time and I think they rock.
