Base choices

[Brak Zanagin]

So H and I have done some research.

We've got a design issue we need to resolve.  Currently, you can only connect 2 zones to each TP.  That means that right now, with our current config we can only port to Sharkass, Nerva, Martial and Cap.  We can change this though by reducing the size  of the RP room to a 2x2 instead of it's current 3x3.  That would allow us to place 2 more telepads.  That would add in Mercy and Port Oakes.

Something else we can do is make the base raidable.  Yeah, I said raidable.  A SG that has a raidable  base can participate in raids against other SGs that have 1 or more Items of Power (IoP).  Meaning we could get to raidable status, and then go for jaunts into other SGs bases (provided they have IoP's).  This would mean removing the RP room altogether.  IoPs do things like increase your XP gain, damage output, debt removal, etc.

As a SG we've got a choice to make, and we have 3 options.
1. Go with the large RP room. Live with only 4 outbound zone options for TP.
2. Go with the large TP room, get all the beacons. Live with a smaller RP room.
3. Go with the Vault, and do raids or the IoP strike force.  Live with no RP room, 4 outbound zone options for TP.

Discuss!

What is the benefit of having an RP room?

Tentatively, I like option 3.

It's a room with space.  You can't place functional items, like teleporters or rez rings, but you can put large shit in there like this awesome world domination table.  Effectively it looks cool, and if we were going to ever line up, so I could give you a speech, that would be the room to do it in.  Check out this link for a floorplan of our current base: http://65.34.26.29/images/sslive2.jpg

Oh, there are now energy cannons in the telepad room.

Note: Turn off your travel powers.  They pack quite a punch!   Don't become the 2nd member of the group to  use the rez rings.

Eh??

[Brak Zanagin]

Energy cannons don't like travel powers.

Hey, the lower tiered items don't cost as much.  There's a reason why.

The room isn't that large so walking should be fine.  Also, with the new rules you won't get one shotted by it (unless you get into view of both of them), so you can shut off your travel power before it shoots again.

I'm confident that everyone can handle this.
