Edit to Add:

Some features:

Slammy's Hideaway-the swingingest bar this side of Sharkhead, with a nightclub, fine dining, casino (try the new Hero-One in A Million Slot machine!), and tasteful art displays donated by local community organizations. Come backstage to see how the VIPs live!

Rose's garden and Hedge Maze-The maze has two solutions, can you find the badge?

The Tomb of Antiochus-We might have plundered the actual tomb of Antiochus Epiphanes IV, the founder of our group from antiquity...we're rogues and villains, we do that kind of stuff.  Rumor has it that the Sovereign has a teleporter that can take you under the glass (but you might get stuck)

The Sovereign's chambers-Hidden within the base is Alessandra Umbra's personal lair.  (You can find it using the map, but only sheand her trusted allies knows the shortcut) .  From there she can appear at will throughout the base.

Transport hubs-Operative Shanks used his connections with Arachnos, Vanguard, and various mercenary groups to secrure some serious hardware that will take you anywhere in Paragon, the Rogue Ilses, and even Praetoria(well First and Night Wards). Travel by water or through the air!

One more question. Are the titles that are awarded global, for all our characters, or are they specific to one character?

OH! So torn between Myst Haven and Highwayman's Rock.  I'll go with Highwayman's Rock, because Myst Haven is far from complete.

A lot has been added since these five screenshots, including a beach house, washed up pirate ship, the Rebel's Helm pub, communications towers, a magical laboratory, separate room for a teleportation grid to hit every zone in Paragon, as well as a nice little sitting area near the garden. Make sure to turn vis_scale up to at least 5.

There’s no theme, alignment or shard requirement. All bases are welcome!

  • Your global handle
  • Your Supergroup name
  • The shard you’re on
  • The passcode for entering the Supergroup base
  • The character names or global handles of any Supergroup members that contributed to building the base (up to a maximum of five, including yourself if you contributed)

Judging

After the deadline passes, the Game Masters will take some time to go through each of the entries to pick the winners. We’ll aim to post the winners up by November 15th, but this may take a bit longer if there’s a large number of entries.

 

We can’t want to see all of your bases. Good luck and have fun!

*Adding a small note since we have gotten a few questions. We aren't taking any tours with individual players (we will be touring the bases on our own time), so please add any extra info you would like to the post if you have hidden areas or something you don't want us to miss! 

The Vanguard League on Everlasting is running our 3rd version of a Base Building Contest with 20 Billion in prizes, pretty much in the same time frame.

 

Seems like we should cancel ours now. Looking for guidance from the GMs.

 

"1 MONTH TO GO!! The Vanguard League, Everlasting’s most chillax SG, is happy to announce it’s 3rd Best Base in Paragon Contest. Grand Prize 5 Billion inf. 20 Billion in total! Entry deadline is 18 Oct 2020 Details: https://tinyurl.com/y2y7727m"

Super group pass code: FROST-2389

Contributors: @BarBed Wired

 

Here at First Response Operations Superhero Taskforce (AKA F.R.O.S.T), we have fashioned our Super Group base below the surface of Paragon Island. Much of this cavern has been left undisturbed and natural, clearing out only what we’ve needed for storage, our portals to other cities, and our med bay. We've done this due to the ancient bones that litter the cavern’s floor; we’ve brought in a team of experts to research what these massive creatures once were. There are times when the wind is quiet, and no one is around that you can hear them still breathing.  When the darkness becomes too much of a strain on your sanity, head on up to the surface where a hidden Chalet awaits. Here you can sit by a cozy fire, play pool or games, sit at the bar for a cold drink or relax on the many cushion seats and chairs. Beware, though, we ask that you stay on the lighted path. The surface is wild and untamed; wildlife roams freely; we keep them well-fed, but attacks have happened. Find the hovering rock to see the floating island that hovers above; we’ve no idea what it was, who lived on it; if at all, or what use it has. How the island remains floating above is a mystery, we only know that it is there and remains fixed in place. Be care of the rope bridges as the wood is old and rotting, and it is a long way down. When visiting F.R.O.S.T, make sure to look up when the sun sets, the view never disappoints.cave.thumb.jpg.cac8ea0d75c81d7e582e698a8e252da2.jpgexploreres.thumb.jpg.2958b9d59dfd388335d965bb1fb2a98f.jpgchalet.thumb.jpg.ca0a3a3685672936b0ca194fa676f053.jpgcamp.thumb.jpg.dbf409369479074af40a23fe42e7ce3e.jpgfloat.thumb.jpg.5723c8f7bfc62882e4b55e22593e9d25.jpg

Ahoy! The Swashbucklers are also recruiting pirate themed toons! We are not just 1 type of pirates we are a big collection of many different pirates some like the classic stories others digital or futuristic and the base shows that. Now most of the nicer bases are on everlasting so I'd like to Excel represent! This is a one of a kind pirate fort we  called Fort Mako! Made from the bone structure of Fort Massachusetts  on Ship island Mississippi (i wanted to use the likes of Ship Island because of its very very VERY rich maritime history)  shaped into a enormous fort made for the best pirates! We have 8 pirate sloops and a tug boat! 256 custom built cannons in our arsenal! We support full base functionality that rivals that of the Cosmic bases with the 4 main npcs being BELOW  deck of the sloop you enter on (based off a historically  accurate sloop innards framed to scale from a roman sailboat), the tp/door to below is  marked with  NPCS sign. You can enter 1 of the 4 dinghy's right next to the entrance  to set sail to anywhere around the coh/cov verse.

The fort houses:

the Workshop: for functional needs

Anne's INN which houses 8 rooms: as we grow and members get curious they claim a room currently 6 vacant

Our very own cannon producing blacksmith,

The medical house,: remade into a 18th century med different from previously pictured new pics are up

The Bamboo Kat's Tavern,:  Pieced together from multiple historical RL places Now with rooftop access and additional meeting place

The Armory with firing range and my first try at custom cannons before i made the authentic look

The Treasury: 3 story warehouse/treasury/rooftop garden replicated from a real 1719 mansion brick frame with concrete walls and a thick vault door for security/last line of defense

The Guardhouse with upper Rampart access and a video game  Easter egg reference, look for the hay

The jail/interrogation room replicated from a historical 18th century building

The capt's house: also replicated from a historical 18th century building all buildings have my original spin on them as nothing replicates perfectly

We are aligned to our crew with contracts on both hero and villain sides  sailing where ever the plunder is. We house a Arachnos flier and "borrowed"(plundered) 2 longbow fliers

A true sight to see for any pirate lovers! /visscale 6  or higher is suggested when wanting to take it all in! Majority of the base is taken from RL historical accuracy with about 10% fantasy fun thrown in.

 

Edit: updated current changes to the buildings plus new buildings also added a hatch to the first floor of the treasury that leads to a dungeon like cave that leads out to a secret dock with a dinghy that  will take you to the awaiting ship that brings you back to the docks at the front of the fort. Used for smuggling and during blockades or for a quick escape should the fort ever fall. Also changed the entire base's lighting to indoor for dynamic lighting effects nothing looks as it did before!

 

P.S. updated pictures to show the fort in its current form

Here to register my superbase for consideration.

 

  • First of Equals
  • @First of Equals
  • Solitude
  • Excelsior
  • Solitude-748
  • First of Equals/@First of Equals is the sole architect.

I designed the base to be an homage to Superman's Fortress of Solitude, so I was less interested in small detail, and more interested in scale. The main atrium was designed to look like it had an icy texture --- I recommend setting /visscale 5 because the base is large and you want far off details to render. It's important to explore, because you'll need to discover how to shrink yourself down to visit the Bottle City of Kandor, an important element of Kryptonian lore.

 

As well, there's a Phantom Zone projector in operation which will allow access to this timeless realm. From a game standpoint, entering the Phantom Zone will allow one to become a phantom and observe people inside the base, while being invisible to them (thanks to the one-sided property of most textures.)

 

The base has convenient teleport off the Atrium (although the city zones are broken up into Metropolis or Gotham - with teleporters to non-city zones available but set aside) - and convenient workstation area with the Superman flare of the captive Sun Eater (from All-Star Superman) and the forge for crafting black holes to feed the Sun Eater.

 

Careful observers should be able to catch a glimpse of Mogo, the planet-sized member of the Green Lantern corp, from various points in the superbase.

 

I hope you get a chance to explore the full length of the base when you visit.
