I've given up on several bases and ended up scrapping them because of the constant shifting of placed objects. The further you get away from the "interior" section of the base, the more degradation happens. I was building a starship down around the "bottom" of the exterior space and every time I'd come back to the base the next day a few things would be out of of place. It was becoming more and more irksome for placing doorways, edging, etc, that I finally just gave up and nuked the base.

 

Something that isn't on the list that I'd like to see is the ability to just create a single massive room for a base. Fill the entire plot with one room, and so be able to build around within or outside of that without needing to play the "fill in all the gaps with rooms/doorways" game. Though this might not be possible if the "entry room" is completely static with no way of adjusting the code for it, or getting rid of the "required gap" that exists when placing hallways and rooms.

I'd like to see more glowing items that could be placed. Vines, plant life, bushes, trees even. Sure, I can do a bit of kit bashing with the glowing whisps to create the appearance, but more options in the plant life that could be placed in bases would be wonderful. Even more grass templates would be great. Flowers too. I wouldn't mind them being tintable, but I'm completely fine with them being a light source themselves.

One thing I'd appreciate above all else is increasing the tolerance for building outside the base boundaries. As it stands, it's pretty annoyingly hard to build a spaceship when outer hull pieces refuse to align the way I want them to, not to mention it's nigh-impossible to place anything even remotely resembling wings.

I wasn't sure if this has been suggested anywhere, but I had an idea I think would change the base editing for the better. People like to build their bases and take advantage of vertical space. Nothing is more off-putting than looking up and seeing a floating base portion. Could we get a "surface" that makes objects on the opposite side transparent? Of varying sizes, preferably.

Grouping object would be my #1 ask.

 

For what's not on the list, eliminating the teleporter style connection restrictions, allowing the use of the "ech beacons with magic teleporters and vice-versa. While I look the banner look of the magic beacons, my tired, old eyes just can't scan through them as quickly as the crisp, clear images of the tech beacons.

 

A big ask for what's not on the list is having personal "apartments" and physical buildings in each zone with similar aspect as the AE building or the dome in the AP building, where you can literally look out your apartment window onto the city below. The footprint could be restricted to studio, 1br, 2br size to realistically fit within the building.

Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds. Looking for modified whole powerset sfx?

Check out Michiyo's modder or Solerverse's thread.  Got a punny character? You should share it.

It'd be better if they added copies of the tech teleporters to the magic list and vice-versa, rather than make the beacons interchangeable (so "Magic White Hole" and "Tech White Hole", rather than White Hole reading both beacon types).  There are some tricks you can do with tech and arcane beacons within the same door space that cease to be possible if portals can detect beacons of both types.

I'd like Praetorian Clockwork versions of NPCs in the base. Functional ones for leveling and selling, then some Clockwork doing random tasks like on the streets of Praetoria.

My two big asks for the bases would be…

 

1) complete Nova Praetoria/Imperial City/Kallisti Wharf buildings. They look gorgeous and placing them around the edge of a large open to the sky base plot would just be *chef’s kiss.”

 

2) more non-vendor heroic/villain NPC options. While my ideal would be fully customizable NPCs, a practical level would be having NPCs akin to the civilians currently available for say… Arachnos, Vanguard (I know there are the vendors for those two, but I’m talking purely cosmetic ones), Longbow, and IDF (the latter just because their uniforms are so spiffy)… bonus points for having other groups like Circle of Thorns, Legacy Chain, Council (perfect for generic faceless villain minions), Freakshow, and maybe all the MM pet types (because MMs clearly have a legion of backups given how often their pets fall in battle).

 

It wouldn’t need to be the whole roster for them either… just 2-3 really iconic ones (ex. a Freakshow Juicer, Metal Slicer and Tank… or IDF Ranger, Seer, and BCU) and could probably just be in the neutral/idle pose.
