[Post your best costume designs here!]

I've loved viewing the costumes in this thread for some time now, so I thought I should finally add a few of my own:

 

 

Here's a favorite of mine:  Monkeyman

 

And another:  Jet-Strike (based on the Cyclone armor from Robotech/Mospeada)

 

Here's another one I like:  The Tick-Tock Kid, a time-travelling gunslinger

 

[CTD Starting in the last few days]

I have also gotten this error twice in the last week when trying to enter my base.  Prior to that, I'd never been forcibly disconnected.

[Show Off!!]

I've made a Dirigible Steamship as a base for my steampunk-related supergoup, Steamsters Union.  I'm hoping to be able to get people to join, assuming they like this sort of thing.  If you're interested, send me an in-game email "@Scarlett Scarab".  I'm on most days between 8:30-1:00 pm (PDT).

 

On Everlasting:  STEAM-21178

 

My character's backstory is that he's from an alternate earth, where steam-related technology really took off.  He and his band of adventurers were trapped by Nemesis to build weaponry for his army.  They escaped, but now they're cut off from their original dimension.

 

You really need a flying toon to be able to appreciate it properly...

 

Here's the bridge, with a captain, a navigation map, and everything...

 

Of course, every ship needs a big gun!

 

Here's the main entry, on the science deck...

 

... complete with portal to extra-dimensional locations (Pocket D, Shadow Shard, Night Ward, etc)...

 

... and an invention station, enhancement lockers, and salvage lockers.

 

There's even a quartermaster and Icon tailor to help you outfit your heroes.

 

And when you need to travel to other areas of Paragon City or the Rogue Isles, just take a Longbow Jumpjet on the flight deck.

 

[Homecoming Launcher Public Beta]

i also am running into that same issue.  also on win 7 64bit edition.   first pic is after i try to mouse over it, second is after some clicking  then opening a window over it then dismissing window, but just goes back to 1st pic when i mouse over again to log into beta or normal servers

I'm also getting the "things being black" problem.  I'm also on Win 7, 64 bit.  Has this been resolved?

 

I can still play fine (once I find the "Homecoming" widget), so it's not a major issue for me.  It's just weird.

[Invention Salvage Storage Scheme]

Based on Flashtoo's excellent idea about  using Banners (and in at least one case a Supergroup Logo glass panel), I've reconfigured my storage area to be much more compact.  Also, using Dacy's idea of hiding my storage bins behind some tech pipes dressed up (with keycard readers and grab bars) to look like tech lockers.  For my enhancement "locker", I turned the enhancement table on its side (you're seeing the bottom of it with a "2" on it), sunk it on the wall and threw a label and a grab bar on it.

 

Thanks a lot guys!  Your suggestions helped me make my storage system even more compact and more aesthetically pleasing.  Plus now, I can nearly reach all of my storage bins without having to leave my crafting table.

It's interesting to see how other people approach salvage storage.  I prefer not to segregate my salvage by rarity, since I usually don't know what rarity an item is in a recipe. 

 

Dacy, I like the idea of turning storage on its side to make it more of a wall.  That is a great way to keep your storage from looking like just another static pile of junk.  Using the storage containers as a facade for the salvage storage is likewise a great idea. 

 

I also liked the idea of disguising the combat logs as a microwave (as you indicated in your video), and hiding your icon tailor in a clothing rack.  You're really a whiz with all of this!

[Invention Salvage Storage Scheme]

The personal storage vault isn't accessible by my alts, so I prefer salvage storage. Thanks, for the tip, though. 

[Invention Salvage Storage Scheme]

I'm not sure if other people struggle with organizing their invention salvage, but I know I have.  I've been searching for an optimal way to store a reasonable amount of invention salvage in my base, while being able to know how to best separate and organize my storage and stay under the 18 storage unit cap in bases.  To that end, I set up a few parameters:

 

Salvage Maximums:

• 15 of each Common (White) Salvage
• 10 of each Uncommon (Yellow) Salvage
• 5 of each Rare (Orange) Salvage

 

By using 12 Salvage Storage units, I am able to store Salvage in the following alphabetically organized sections:

 

A - (Alchemical Gold to Boresight)

Br - (Brass to Circuit Board)

Cl - (Clockwork Gear to Data Drive)

De - (Deific Weapon to Essence of the Furies)

F - (Fortune to Improvised Cybernetic)

In - (Inanimate Carbon Rod to Luck Charm)

M - (Magical Conspiracy to Photonic Weapon)

Pl - (Plasma Capacitor to Rikti Alloy)

Ru - (Ruby to Scope)

Si - (Silver to Spell Scroll)

Spi - (Spirit Thorn to Synthetic Intelligence Unit)

T - (Temporal Analyzer to Volume of the Obsidian Libram)

 

In practical terms, this means putting a section label (Large Cement Plate, I think) on all of my storage.  I keep my storage near my Invention Table for convenience.  The end result looks like this:

 

I also usually leave an extra Salvage Storage near my Supercollider in case I want to Empower my toon.

 

Hopefully someone else will find this useful.

 

[The /baseedit command]

My experience is that the "/editbase <integer>" command functions like this:

 

/editbase 0 - exits base edit mode

/editbase 1 - this is the same as clicking "Edit Base"

/editbase 2 - this is the same as clicking "Add Personal Items" (except it appears that it allows you to add pretty much anything)

/editbase 3 - this is the same as clicking "Upgrade Plot" (ie: allows you to alter the maximum footprint of the base)

 

For me at least, editing privileges are still fully functional.
