SG Base plan and other babble

Guten tag all,

Spinning off of a thread by Big, but with respect to the SG: I would suspect that we will be hitting a cap on salvage pretty soon. Any ideas on what is next in store for the base (i.e. intended next upgrades, etc). I am admittedly ignorant to the whole base building (and using) concept, but would like to be mindful if there is something that I as a "worker bee" could be doing to help the cause?

..aside from kick arse, chew gum, and earn prestige.

Oh yeah, thanks to Marine X, we picked up the DA teleport beacon.

Sorry I couldn't make it to the event yesterday afternoon. I have a blast rolling with the SG, and hated to miss the festivities.

See ya in the city.

RE: SG Base plan and other babble

just an FYI, i'm all over the boards today and i check for new posts about every 5 minutes cause i'm sitting at work and i have NOTHING TO DO! i absolutely hate it because i need someone else to be all over the boards too so i can BS / argue about stuff (slayerz thread *cough :) )

but yeah as far as the salvage, can one person make a temp power then give it to someone else? i noticed you can do this with macros, which i found very neat, but i wasnt sure about temp powers that we build.

ok now i need someone to post within 5 minutes to keep me entertained!

Did I miss the 5 minute window?

**Edit: woohoo, just saw the time. I made it. I hate the missions with a time on them. Don't do that again Big.

RE: SG Base plan and other babble

I must admit, now that I'm in a SG that doesn't suck, I went and bought the discounted CoV pretty much solely for the SG base option. I'm not really interested in the CoV AT's, they just don't hold much appeal for me. (Though I do suspect that the impending expansion box will have content that requires you to have CoV, so I had that in mind too)

Anyway, I joined the Inmate VG with EvilMissMagnificent, and their base was dead. I'm VERY interested in helping to make sure that doesn't happen to us.

Let me know what I can do, whether it be prestige, salvage, ideas, work, etc....

Well, we have storage facilities in the base for enhancements and salvage. I've been dumping all of my salvage into storage for use by the base-builders.

As far as enhancements, check out the storage and see if there is anything in there you need. I know there are alot of Magic/Mutation DOs in there around level 20. It also seems to have a lot of TOs in there so I would suggest that if you have a lowbie character, see if there are any in there you can use (or take 'em and sell 'em). I don't think we want to fill the bin with cheap TOs.

RE: SG Base plan and other babble

Sounds like we have storage ready in the base. Cool! I'll have to get my butt down there to look. I'll drop off all of my salvage while I'm at it.

Do we want to combine any of it before we deposit it, or just leave raw materials? I've got this War Wolf urine sample that starting to get all funky in my supa-suit.

RE: SG Base plan and other babble

combine raw materials?! anyone know a guide to see what combines what into what. am i correct in saying that if you click on the work table, it gives you a list of possible things to built and the materials needed? i thought i saw that yesterday.

Yeah, that's what I thought too. When you look at the list, it shows what's needed.

The raw stuff all breaks down into a base "material" or "power" of the tech or arcane variety. Then you have a list of things that can be built with certain ammounts of that. There are no different varieties of material or power, they are like the basig leggos to get to constructing other things.

Then as the devices you want go up in level, you have to get another table to combine the basic material or power to the next level material or power building block.

Usually when I combine, I try to end up with 50-50 material and power salvage. Then dump it all on a leader/base designer for use as needed unless they report they need a lot more of one kind or another. Now we can also dump it in storage.

You can also cary a lot more of the combined stuff than the raw materials. You can't build anything with a broken Crey pistol or Warhulk fragment as I know it. It all has to be combined into workable salvage.

Just wanted to add that I, too, spend my work days on the site. I have to minimize pretty often, but I'm here from around 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. I do my best to reply to as many threads as possible, but I don't usually post for the sake of posting.

RE: SG Base plan and other babble

What we really need for the base is to organize what we want. I think that we should really work toward getting a useful base (Hospital, TP Chambers) And then work towards getting items of power (if they even exist yet). The items of power can boost our Damage, Defense, etc but also force us to prepare for raids (we would need some items that help defend/repair our base). The good thing about bases is that you can sell things for the same price you bought them (I think) so there is no down side to us throwing something together now and letting it grow.

That would be cool if they could let you have pets or if one of base defenses like the dragons in the Arcane base has, if it would wander around a bit.
