That's a good idea. I'll add to it some functions that could easily be tied to the Base Computer.
- Arena Terminal
- Auction House/Black Market Interface
- Contact a Trainer
- Contact a Hero Corps Rep/Fortunata Fateweaver
- Basic enhancement stores
- Merit Vendor
- Tailor
- Task Force/Strike Force/Trial Contact (imagine if you could use it to initiate any of the above, not just Silver Mantis, provided all teammates were in your base. It would likely save a lot of travel time on Hero TFs)
- Super Group Registration Contact (pay your base rent online!)
- Respec Contact (I know I get nervous redside visiting Arbiter Lupin, with that many Longbow spawns wandering so close)
Obviously, not all of these functions should be moved to the base computer, but even a couple would make it a lot more worthwhile, especially to Villains who already feel kind of cheated having to buy it to enable the Silver Mantis Strike Force.

I love this idea! Perhaps add the ability to edit AE Arcs from it and maybe modify the Raid Teleporter so it can be used as a mission door for said MA Arcs? 
While a lot of the ideas in the second or third post would be cool... Eh, i dunno. I mean, why EVER leave your base then? I mean what next, hosting costume contests via your mission computer?
Doing radio missions (perhaps modified ones that are tougher) via the computer sounds pretty nifty though. It IS a "Mission Computer" after all =)

Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)
I think Accessing Radio/News Paper Missions and AE sounds good. Perhaps task forces and Difficulty Changers as well.
Market is a bit of a stretch, but I can see that too.
Some of the other stuff seems like a bit much though... and you can access the arena from anywhere anyway.

As I said in my first post, that was a list of possible suggestions. I agree that all of it together would be overkill.|

Or maybe not. If a player doesn't want to leave their base that often... what, exactly, is wrong with that?

ok, so I have an idea for the currently useless mission computer in the COH SG bases. What if we made it so that a team leader, or solo character can access a list of available radio missions from the SG base for ALL level appropriate zones for that character. It would increase the exploration of places some people never go to anymore, it would I think encourage people even more to seek out a good supergroup, and it would fix a problem I have with the game, which is explaining to new players which zones are for what level span.
