CaptA

I do this too. Several bases. Several hundred set IOs and the like. I am always amazed at how many players I've talked to that farm for influence so that they can buy all the stuff they need to set out their 50 build. I ask them, "Why don't you just craft the recipes you find and store it for characters later? You can change set IOs from one to another with converters and just build up a bank of sets you like to use." Their answer is always the same: "I don't have time to craft." But you have time to endlessly grind on farm missions? Ok.

• Character name: Brainbane • @Dr. Feedback • Base: Newport City • Shard: Excelsior • Passcode: FUTURE-18986 • Base Category: Multipurpose over 7k • Item count: 14237 This base is a section of Newport City, which is a town south of Founders' Falls. This section of Newport City is home to Gentech corporate headquarters and lab. This company is owned and run by David Prescott (Brainbane), secretly a mutant that is doing research to help understand and help mutants in the world. His mansion is on the SW corner of the city, and is one of 3 entrances (the back of the coat closet) for the underground "hero base" part of the city. There are a few members in his supergroup, but they are all mutants. A secret entrance in the mansion takes one to an elevator down to the base. Another in the Ajax Warehouse (restricted door) allows access to storage. Finally, another entrance in the laboratory (elevator in the office space next to the main lab) takes one to the SG transporters. All three areas under the city are connected by a rail car. Otherwise, this section of Newport City is home to many affluent people that work in Paragon City but choose to live away from downtown. Get a cocktail at Lola's with its retractable roof! Or delightful sushi at Mizu House. Stop in to ponder spirituality at the Newport Cathedral built in 1638. And listen to your favorite tunes on WXHP.

Pretty cool!

Ok, thanks.

Are the pillars made from colored O letters?

Great idea!

Happy to give you a tour. I'll have to send a code later. It's on Excelsior. EDIT: found the code GIANTS-18986 Here's a link from the beginning of the year. It's complete now.

I sold a base I had on live when I was moving a character from one server to another. The guy that bought it I think gave me 50 or 70 million inf for it. This was when prestige was still a thing and it had taken some time to build the base as I was a solo toon on that server. I recently created a base for someone else (it's on the Show Off thread on the end of page 28) after they asked for a builder on here a few months back. While we all enjoy building bases, you are in fact paying for someone's time. I'd have to be in a real mood to do another commission anytime soon. I got away from base building for most of the year after completing my "city base" earlier this year. It took a good three months to build and I was a bit burned out. I accepted a reasonable offer for the base I did recently, and the person I did it for ended up "tipping" me more because they were so pleased. A win-win.

The planters on the roof garden are tech-based, but I'm pretending they are just magic lol.

Congrats to you both!

That is pretty impressive.

Yeah, but that's just a vid. It's not an actual file you could use to enter your base.

I have tables for ranged, melee, resist/defense, healing, and misc (holds, travel powers, etc). Also I usually have one for very rare IOs/AT-specific sets/Winter sets, and another for crafted generic IOs. Edit: I have some storage for inspirations. Nothing smaller than large, and also a few of the ambrosias for Hami raids. Salvage: One filled with tech top-tier commons, another the same for arcane. One for top-tier uncommons, and another for top tier rares. I also use the vault to keep usually three each of top-tier commons and uncommons, and any overflow rares.

No, but that would be cool. Like a backup in case something happens.

I was a base builder on live and have continued that here. I have most of my toons in my main SG. That SG has a base I spent a few months on. Since then, I've built a few more and have a few solo-toon SGs and another with only mutants. I have SGs for storage, convenient travel, and a creative outlet. If I need to team I'll start a team or join another.

Love this idea

Fixing base shift would be great. What I really want is a group/copy/paste function that would allow you to build something out of objects, group it as one, and copy/paste it as desired. This could cut down massive amounts of time. Also making the walls transparent would be another great ability. It would be so nice to look off into the distance and see a skyline or other vistas. Edit: also, more wall art

Do you have a power source for the teleporters? I think we still need that. Use he basic power/control combo thing.

I have taken on this project

51 here. Started in 2004 and played until 2012 when the game shut down. Found out about Homecoming from someone in chat in Star Trek Online at the end of 2020.

It's not pointless. It produces things. It's fine the way it is.

South end of Skyway - just southeast of the train station. Coordinates are in the chat box. There is a gap between the top of the building and the lower roof.

Also a good method. I don't have multiple accounts, however.

I craft and store enhancements as well. People seem to grind for inf and sell their good recipes and buy everything later and it baffles me. Make it, store it, and use it. Usually I am buying very few enhancements when I am building out a 50. I've had people tell me they "don't have time to craft'. Lol it's 10 minutes at the end of a play session. So odd.

This is why I build bases and store a decent amount of salvage so I almost never need to buy it.
