Base Personnel

NPCs as placeable base items.

The simplest would be stationary and immobile guards, uniformed mannequins in a couple of styles. As a piece of furniture, there's no limit on how many you could have. (Assemble an army of them in formation, if you want.)

Next up, stationary personnel with limited animation, probably seated but moving their arms to interact with desks, monitors, and consoles. Probably not much more complicated than some of the animated base equipment, but they might be limited to one per room. Or they might be attached to a oiece if equipment (Monitor Bank with Personnel).

Finally, mobile animated NPCs on a level with those roaming the streets. One per room would be great, or maybe one or two who can roam the entire base. They might have clipboards and wander around saying things like "[Villain] is attacking [zone]".

I know the odds of it happening, but I still think it would be cool.

Well since this cool suggestion has been made repeatedly for years now I guess you can guess what the odds are of this happening.

Not only that but there's a long list of more important base issues that need to be addressed that we've been begging for for years.

Maybe if enough people ask for the same thing enough times, the developers will take notice.

And maybe if a small change to bases gets a big response, the developers will look at making bigger changes.

Heh.

Maybe devs should create a small "project team" to work on an issue selected by players from a votable list.

It would give us an idea of what they consider to be possible/reasonable, and give them a better idea of our priorities.

See the colorful links in my sig.

I'm betting, outside of "Bases/Supergroups Moving to Another Server with Transfer Tokens in F2P...being looked into" that any other base changes are down on the list under "root canal day at the office".
