Hi all.

Its been about 14 months or so since I have had this account active. Anything new on the base building scene? Either dev wise or any amazing tips and tricks I should not miss?

POUNCE!!!!

*hugs Greyhawke*

welcome back

Not a whole heckuva lot has changed for bases since i13...

  • base raiding is still disabled, making stacking things easier than ever
  • salvage racks are still limited to 30 items
  • we have a new red Leadership star... only one person may hold it at any given time, they automatically have all permissions, it will only be passed to a qualified person of the next rank down (old leadership stars). It should not fall to anyone of lower rank than that.
  • Storage items now have rank permissions you can set on a "per bin/table/rack" basis. You will need to be on a character that has the "edit permissions" setting enabled.
I think there's a couple things I'm missing, but I can't remember off the top of my head at the moment.

Cool, thanks Kat.

For the leader star, does it auto transfer down after a certain period? If so, what happens if there isn't someone at the next rank down, will it stay indefinitely or pass down to someone on tier 3?

Jut curious. I am considering opening up my personal SG to others. Its got some great elements in it and its always fun to share. If I could absolutely guarantee leadership would not transfer if I had some kind of real life issue and could not get in game, it would make that decision easier.

Would be nice if they had added z-axis controls, tintable interior walls and floors, and some bedroom furniture. But the storage permissions per bin is sweet

The Ultra Mode graphics have altered the appearance of some stuff, depending on what graphics level you have your game set to.

Most notably the Slow Fields look very different, some say really ugly.

Hmmmm... I think I see where you're going with this... I honestly haven't tested that, so I couldn't say for certain. Snowy might have a clearer answer on that. Or, if you'd like to set up a 15 day test before you open your base, PM me & I'll help ya set up your ranks/permissions.

I believe that the only SG members that can get the red star are ones that have been promoted at least once. I recently got the "Big Bubba" star from my original SG in which everyone had left the game. I had 4 un-promoted characters that I logged in on just for day job stuff. They didn't get the big up but when I logged the one alt that I never logged in on but had gotten just the first promotion with I got the star.
