How Much Prestiege?

I normally either join a friend's SG to earn prestiege for them or make one for myself that doesn't have a base.

However, I have one SG that I'm the sole survivor of-- the friends I made it with have long since left the game. I checked on one of my Alts that's in that SG and I seem to have over a million prestiege in it.

Also, since that toon has never left SG mode and she's now 47, I seem to have gotten a fair number of SG base enhancements earned ...

Here's my question:

Do I have enough prestiege to make a base now that could be maintained by one person?

The main thing that I'd like to have in a base would be the beacons. I would also like storage space, but I don't need the Autodoc or a huge base.

Oh hell yes.

I've seen folks make basic functional bases with a third of that amount.

You can probably afford a half dozen teleporters (taking you to a dozen places), a resurrection ring, some workshop/storage items, and the energy/control items to run them all, and still have plenty of Prestige left over for decorating.

You'll temporarily need the Crafting Worktables for a few of the items (teleporters, etc), but those you can sell back after you're done with them.

even with items that do add rent, the rent is actually pretty hard to get above 2000

my base is mostly self run and i have the most expensive power and control units, 7-8 storage things, med bay, all the tps, empowerment station, IO worktable and all of that is only costing me 1500 rent like every 4 weeks (i can make about 1000 prestige in 1 paper mish on the lowest diff setting (varies a little due to map size), but its very easy to upkeep a base nowadays)

Cool!

Now is there a very basic guide here that could tell me how to make a base that would do what I want?

Also, see here for some instructional videos on advanced stacking techniques once you get comfortable with the base editor:

Seeing as how you're running a solo-SG, it also isn't necessary to install all the TP pads. As long as you have the SG Beacon badges, you can swap the beacons as you need them to get where you want to go.

I will tell you the one thing that I have found out in my base building, think of flow of your rooms before you place them! This is just a fun little tidbit that after building and tearing down 3 bases I have discovered. Good luck and post pics of your work, we love sharing ideas.

Yeah, seriously.

There's nothing worse than having to tear down several hundred objects because you realized later that the rooms aren't where they need to be positioned.

Objects can interfere with the doorways being placed, which can sometimes make it impossible to move a room to a new spot. And the system won't TELL you which object or objects are the offending pieces, so you have to keep removing stuff till it lets you place the room.

So, make sure you finalize the room layout as much as possible before dropping in any objects.

yeah... I am still trying to rebuild my speakeasy room on Red Side after having to tear down the entire show girl stage only to find out it was the other room that had the blockage....

Okay, I got my base set up.

I have one teleporter, and bins for Salvage, Inspirations, and Enhancements.

I used the very basic combo control/power set, and so far I am not going beyond the power needs it supplies.

Somehow I created recessed flooring in a couple of places where I don't want it and I'm trying to figure out how to rectify that.

I was very tempted to get the Supercomputer but so far I have resisted the temptation.

(It's not that I think I'll ever need its functions, but with a big LCD Screen in front of it it'd look a lot like the trouble alert from the Superfriends.)

I think that I'll have to put in some decoration as my control room looks very bare, but I can't seem to put much in there that's functional.

Do I need the Basic Workbench for anything other than making teleporters?

Probably the only thing you might craft using the Basic Worktable for functional purposes is the Holodisplay.

Even then the Holodisplay is more often used as a decorative item than purely for generating Control.

All the other stuff besides the telepads that you can craft using the Basic Worktable is for player vs player base combat, which is disabled right now anyway. Some of it looks nifty, though, so folks use them as decorative items like the Holodisplay.

If you aren't using the worktable, you can save on some rent each month by deleting it.

"Click on the floor of the area that's depressed so that the blue square is there. Go to "place room""

That's "place item".

You're right, Cende. It's both. Checked it out earlier tonight.
