Misc SG/base questions

It's been 5+ years since I last played CoH, and needless to say much has changed since then.

1. While in the SG base editor, is there a way to see what the upkeep/rent would be?
2. If i'm editing the base and accidentally delete a room containing storage bins, what happens to the salvage/enhancements that were in those bins?
3. Is there any way for an *SG* to "go rogue?" We had a pre-CoV SG that we'd like to turn into a "VG," and don't want to lose its prestige by having to recreate it.

1. No.
2. As I understand it, you cannot delete a room with storage bins that aren't empty.
3. Sorry, SG's remain side and server-locked.


It's not how many times you get knocked down that count. It's how many times you get up.

No, not that I've ever found. Rent it so cheap now it's really not worth worrying about. See Wiki page on rent.

I could be wrong, but I don't think it will let you delete a room that still has bins that are not empty. I faintly remember trying to do it by accident once and I couldn't do it.

Nope, can't change a hero group into a villain group.

That was fast -- thanks, all!

Ok just realized what has happened in the 5+ years with bases and SGs and other systems that may help. Leveling, and thus prestige earning, goes faster now. Several base items had their costs reduced. Recently we also got telepads that take 6 beacons instead of 2. Oh and base rent was radically altered to be almost trivial.

On a related note, inf is easier to earn than ever. Also it can be traded between sides and even emailed to your own global. This is relevant because you can spend inf to get prestige to boost your base.


It's not how many times you get knocked down that count. It's how many times you get up.

You're also not allowed to directly delete a storage object that's not empty -- so there's no way this question can actually come up.

Unfortunately, the exchange rate stinks.

I was wondering what that smell was.

Yeah, one of my Bases has a bugged Insp storage bin with a phantom item in it. When I try to fill it up, it maxes out at 99. When I "empty" it out, I can't delete it.


Teams are the number one killer of soloists.

Oh that's absolutely true. But with some small time investment in learning the market and alignment merits it can still be worthwhile.

Not really, but I hear there's a scale out there somewhere that gives you an idea. And by scale I mean there's a Zero point and a Minimum point.

The game will NOT let you delete Anything that has something else stored inside. Be that a storage container or an entire room.

Not unless you do so Thematically speaking. IE: you rewrite the SG's group ranking names, Motto, etc. Considering you can't change the group's name, that's about it. There's no way to make it switch sides (R-->B) either. Honestly, it's not that hard to get a group/base up and running, functionally speaking, as you get prestige bonus per toon upto 15. After that, run your 50's in SG mode for a while and you'll build it pretty quick.

Easiest way to roughly calculate rent: Count how many worktables, med room items (minus the rez ring itself), and storage items you have, then add two zeroes. You may be off by some (the higher empowerment stations cost 200 and 300 p/mo) by you'll be within spitting distance.

Rent I've seen averages between 1000-4000 prestige. It is pretty much impossible to not have enough prestige to pay rent unless you never play in supergroup mode and don't have enough inf to convert. Run one to three missions in SG mode (depends on reputation) per pay period and you're set.

So basically: don't worry about rent; it's worthless these days. lol

I have a fully-functioning one-person SG with rent like 900 prestige a month. Kill four bosses and I'm ready for next month! lol

"to".

Pffft. Learning the Market and using alignment merits. If I'm desperate for Prestige I'll just buy a few Super Packs, sell the ATO's I get at 1 inf a piece, and convert the hundreds of millions I get from that to Prestige.

Yes, it's on the Info tab:
