Wouldn't mind the rename option. Don't think I'd use the move option, personally. Though I think:

Think this falls into "Nice idea, but not practical." Limit to one man/small SGs? What about the larger ones that want to do it? (for instance.) As far as "just tear it down and give back the prestige," there are two issues - again, more of a multi-person SG. What happens to non-base items (salvage and stored IOs/SOs) there, and the fact prestige is not an individual's but the group's.
Personally, I'd rather just see the exchange rate (INF to Prestige) updated - it was a lousy exchange rate in the beginning, when 50s people had been playing for a few issues didn't have anything to spend it on otherwise, and it's still a lousy exchange rate. But it would help to have THAT updated, so starting a new SG wouldn't have such a "start from scratch and slowly build up" feel.
Ok I know it has probably been brought up but I was thinking with the Going Rouge about to be released, would it be such a bad idea to be able to change the alignment of SG's?
Maybe there could be like a $10 fee charged or something of the like just like when you change your toon's name.
I don't know about anyone else but the only reason why I have a SG blue side is because my toon's powers I wanted wern't available blue side, and now that I can take my toon red side I would like for him to be able to pack his base with him. I am a 1 man Sg so this would be ideal, instead of having to start from scratch. I have just invested way too much time and prestige in my base to toss it and start over. I would imagine it might be difficult to take an entire base and switch it over red side and vise versa, so how about the dev's just make it to where your base will get torn down, but you get the prestige for it so you can rebuild it over on red side/blue side.
Also I would like to see the option of being able to change your SG name. Reason being when I first started my SG back in 04 I was like 19 years old and now that I'm almost 26, I realize my SG name sounds dumb as hell.
I know this last part sounds like a stretch but it would be cool if you could transfer bases or prestige rather to other servers. Again I would imagine a fee being charged but I think it's worth it.
Now I know what some of you guys are thinking...Sgs don't in most cases belong to one person and by offering these options you may break up or create alot of drama within the SG. My answer to that is that what I am suggesting is simply an option for those of us who are 1 man Sg's, small, or tight nit enough to where it could be pulled off without causing any commotion. Probably wouldn't be ideal for a long established and a Sg with alot of members. The incentive not to abuse these options are automtically present. SG leaders aren't going to want to risk losing members so I don't think it's a system that will be abused.
I'm just saying it would be nice to have the option.
