This isn't much compared to most of what I see here, but I gave the teleporter room in my group's fairly-oldschool-style base a facelift yesterday on account of the new zone beacons and I'm very pleased with the result:

I color-coded the vegetation and torches on each platform, as well as added colored effects to the teleports themselves, to make things easier to find (blue for hero, red for villain, yellow/white for Praetoria, green for hazard and trial zones, purple for Shadow Shard and Pocket D).

 

Also the detailing around the entrance and the skylights isn't new but I'm proud of it, so:

The Villainous Inverted Beast of a Pyramid is complete! The base holds the teleports and NPCs, ATMs, etc. Mid section holds workshop and the tip is for lounging.

In the same tradition of Myst Have I've made another "village" style base called Brentwood.  Nestled between Kings Row and Brickstown, Brentwood has a larger population than Myst Have (about 250) of 2600.  Currently working on different shops such as an automotive shop, a bank, ice cream shop (because yes, there needs to be an ice cream shop), a recreation facility with basketball court and baseball diamond, and a few other shops.  Here's what I've got so far.

Basic view of the streets in Brentwood.  Left side has all the actual businesses, while the right side is a set of faux apartments.  Skylight 2 works really well for third floor windows.

Brentwood Grocers, which even has one of those coin op horses outside.  Myst Haven has one.  Whoever produced them is making a killing.

 

 

As I only have a limited space to post pics, this is part one!  Part two is coming!

How many bars does Paragon City need anyway? The answer is "at least one more" because I've just finished building an Irish pub. The Wooden Stag is now open for business in King's Row. TheStag-13865

I spent all day yesterday building a small steampunk airship base for my alt, Tess LaVolt.

 

I'm finally at the point where I'm okay with sharing the base with all of you: TESS-18557.  

The airship has a aft sitting parlor, Cargo Hold port side and Repair Bay starboard side.  The Bridge has Engineering port-side and Navigation starboard-side.

There's an elevator which will take you topside to the Observation Deck and the Crow's Nest.

all the villain statues seemed a very good fit for chess board... white or heroes had to make do with generics

 

Nice.  I made a chess set for the Crowned Heads base, with mostly Tech pieces for White and Arcane for Black....

Must be nice.

For me, the base editor hovers between useless and completely non-functional.
And I just don't know why.

It COULD be my high resolution.  But I play elsewhere and don't have this issue.

@Hyperstrike Well, you could try turning the resolution down while working in the base editor and see if that makes a difference.


Doesn't work very well.
I have to fiddle my Windows desktop resolution or I'm playing in a narrow-tall Window or section of my screen.
And these are the resolution choices I'm given.

Trying to go full screen basically causes some alignment issues.

Hm... very strange.  Maybe post on the discord and see if anyone can offer a solution.  Otherwise, sometimes you can find people willing to build a base for you.  I know others have gone that route.


It's a multi-monitor thing and the way I'm running things is VERY non-standard.

Had I known exactly what a problem it was going to be, I'd have gone for the non-4K monitor (2560x1440 IIRC) and run them native res.
As it is, I'm having to use screen magnification to keep the desktop legible (4K on 27" monitors is nigh-illegible).
(And it woulda saved me about $800 too!)
