IoP items, sans buffs, for our empty rooms

That would be pretty cool. Maybe even make it a personal item that you can get a reward for doing the CoP trial?
(by personal item I mean the ones that anyone can craft or accquire through vet rewards and place without needing base editing privileges)
We already have the models, and the rooms and such. I say why not? Just add "you got a base detail!" to the current IOP personal buff rewards in the CoP. Purely eye candy, purely base shinies, but at least you get this nice monument that says "we were there, we kicked butt."
I wouldn't mind decorative versions of ALL the functional base items.

Actually as a another option how about adding a new SG badge for completing the CoP Trial in SG mode X times (where X is 1-5) that unlocks all of th eIoP models as cosmetic items?
I like your idea, Adeon.
I believe the Supergroup Badges tab shows a badge can be earned for members of the supergroup completing the CoP trial 100 times. Has anyone earned this badge? It would be really cool if the badge unlocked the ability to craft an Item of Power decorative base item.

Huh, I never noticed that before. Since I'm the only active member of my SG the odds of me running the CoP trial 100 times are pretty low (current badge status: 2/100). Oh well, hopefully a more active SG will fill us in on what (if anything) it unlocks.|

EDIT: For the curious it apparently unlocks the Improved Energy Beam item.

This I like. Put that together with optional raid capable (with pathing rules enforced) and non raid plots (with clipping/stacking/etc. flexible like now for prettiness) and we're getting a lot closer to a system that can fit the needs for elaborately decorative bases as well as more restricted bases used for actual gameplay.

Bah humbug it unlocks a base raid item and a fairly lame one even if raids were back. Not worth 100 CoP trials for sure, I wants pretty shinys. Change the threading to make this an IoP and I am doing a CoP every weekend.

Not me. I really hate the CoP in it's current state. I can't think of any reward that would be cool enough for me to farm the thing.|

Still, I have to admit IoPs are a great looking shiny. It would be wonderful to have a reasonable way to obtain them, even if it was for looks alone. Glad you brought it up again OP.
One man's terrorist is another man's freedom (or freem?) fighter; just as one man's exploit is another man's feature.
This is a great Idea, I wont get my hopes up, but a great idea! IoP's the few times we ahve actuly seen them are awsome to look at.
There is but one truth. Time is limited. ndnw its over
Continuing my drum beat to give us the IoP, just as a decorative item, to place in our bases. The idea of an item reward for game play is great and I do love me some shiny in my base. Otherwise invent some item I can plop in my empty IoP room.
