do you plan to utilize teleporters? that's usually what drives the cost WAY up.
first, you will need the basic rooms and items:
control - oversight center = 50K prestige
*control - combo power and control unit (125 power/75 control) = 25k
workshop - 2x2 = 100K (allows 9 storage)
*enhancement table (100 enhancements) = 95k
*salvage rack (30 salvage) = 15k (you will likely need multiples)
*inspiration collector (100 insp) = 75k
medical - medbay = 50K (1 rez ring)
*basic reclaimator (50 power/25 control) = 10k
Total = 420k prestige
now, once you want TPs, that's another major investment. your combo power/control unit will not supply many items, and you will need to create independent control and energy rooms with dedicated control/energy producing items in order to power your TPs and beacons. this drives the cost way up. you will also need to put a basic worktable in your workshop to create the TPers.
hope that helps!

a wise man once said...
"don't screw this up."
I went with the Basic 4 room base
8x8 plot - free.
2x2 Entrance Room - Free
3x3 Control Room - Work Desk, Combo Unit, and Savage Storage (90K)
2x2 Med Bay, with Ring = (60K)
2x1Telport Bay with crafted teleporter (50K)
Total Building Cost = 200K
I blocked off all but 1x3 of the Control room to make the entire base cozy. Set the style to a red-brick, and gave it a recover warehouse look and decided to go with tech and plants with at little touch of oriental.
About 10-15K of decorations.
Currently saving up for proper Workrooms, but the base is now fully functional for a supergroup of 1 player. With coalitions, it makes it much more useful.
Also, if you'd like to keep rent to a minimum, remember that rent is now based on storage items in your base. 100 prestige each. (IIRC)
How much prestige will be needed to get a simple base going that my characters will share? (A single player/multi-character SG)
Just want a common place to store enhancements, insperations and salvage and a simple medical setup to re-enter instances. 8x8 plot will be enough, and I would like to keep rent to a mininum.
Would like to be able to later max out storage, but other than that I don't really have much needs.
What are the basics and the costs?
