And I'm not sure a War Hulk or a Malta Titan could feasibly remove its "villain uniform".
Just put them in orange jumpsuits and give them a tag to indicate what faction they're from.

I'll agree here.

I liked the SG base raiding (at least in thought). Sure it was annoying/stupid at times with the bugs/exploits that could be done but if they could have fixed those and just worked on bases in general I think the game could be even better than it is now

PvP (zones) needs to have an objective more than "kill him before he kills you". Recluse's Victory was a shot at that but...not so much...

Agreed- base raiding was incredibly interesting to me. I think it could have done loads for Supergroups and PvP in terms of their usefulness and popularity. Don't get me wrong- I am very thankful to have SG teleporters and Workbenches and such, but I think there are plenty of now defunct SGs who would be alive and well still if they had something like raids to band together for.
