Alternate Base Basics aside from just Tech and Magic

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

I think they're called, Wing Chun dummy.

Now what I would like to see? Modern/LoTech style. (Like more the stuff you'd see in Counter Strike and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare)

*Storage:
Salvage Racks - Something like the current tech one, but maybe a lot more items and overcrowded, or maybe just a pile of scraps.

Inspiration Storage - A toilet. (Hey, admit it, some of your best inspirations came while on the john!) Just kidding, seriously though, maybe a drawing board with stacks of drafts of various kinds. (I'm going with the idea of inspirations being just that) Or going with them being something tangible; Maybe narcotics storage unit? (But that might push the rating up to M)

Enhancement Storage - A table with lots of munitions, weapon modifications (barrel extensions, silencers, scopes, etc. etc.), and handful of actual weapons.

*Crafting:
Enhancement Crafting station - A metallic workbench with assorted tools and half-assembled weapons.

Base Item Work Bench - Larger version of the enhancement crafting station with equally bigger and heavier duty tools. Maybe have an over hanging arch with welders and so forth dangling?

Empowerment(s) - Body Armor and weapon rack, starting with simple handguns shotguns and vests, moves up to include helmets, SMGs, and clear shields, finally ends with full SWAT and SpecOps outfits on the rack with Assault Rifles, sniper rifles, etc. etc.

*Power and Control:
Power Units - Start Up would look like a large backup generator sold in stores with a radio communication unit on it, due to the logic bomb of this it should deliberately look as haphazard as possible. The rest would all be progressively larger diesel electrical generators.

Control Units - First tier would be a desk with a radio communications unit, second tier would be radio communications setup with desktop computers, and third tier would be a gutted (Walls opened up, ceiling possibly removed, or maybe just have the interior set up put on the floor) Mobile HQ truck.

*Teleporters: Now this is pretty tricky, but possible ideas could be trucks or small helicopters. (Maybe raid telepads would be APCs or a Chinook) Another idea is have them be elaborate entrances to passageways (like sewer caps, hatches, or even Sliding poles into a black hole, etc. etc.) that provide shotcuts/direct links to points in the city or Isles.

I think that above covers it. I'd also like a steampunk and/or techno-magical themes too, but I'm not too sure how to cover those. Ta-ta.

Yes. A Thousand times yes.

Also, as decorative items, Boulders, (Cave)Rock wall sections, floor sections, ceiling items and pillars (in the form of Stalagmites/Stalactites).

Since we can overlap items now, to make a rounded room you could take a large square space and make a corner unit out of it by creating a curving rock segment that bisects the square at an angle.

This would allow us to carve out a more cave shaped room without necessarily blocking off room space.

@Oathbound & @Oathbound Too

YES.

I'd also like a lot more casual stuff, too... I'm still waiting to make 'The Orphanage' SG, where I can use lots of kid superheroes/villains, and have tiny little double beds for them in a single room, and rule over them with an iron fist of hate.

But, then again, more Base stuff in general, yes.
