The "Perfect" Base

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

The perfect base for me would be a small rock, in the middle of a high radition field, with voilital pockets and mines, heavly defended, in the middle on an empty system but one with lots of jump holes to get places quickly

I like Wanders idea, but I think the guns are a bit to much in combination with the mines/gasses.
imo, one or the other should be enough.
I totaly agree on the fact that it's surprising how few custom build bases have been designed.

Btw, does that base actually excist in a mod form?

Let's seeeeeee.........

It would be shaped somewhat like The Ring in New Berlin with a few more connectors for a biodome on top of it. You can join 2 together and an extra station in the middle with enough firepower to bring down a starflier...(j/k) actually enough to bring down 10 of the largest Rhienland fleets although it has no fighters to protect itself (the size of the fleets are: 20 battleships, 40 cruisers, 80 gunships and 160 Valkyries per fleet !). It can be placed anywhere you like, I don't mind. It would be Corsair-owned, however,for comic relief, I would place it next to BH Jackson's base.

Been done before ........

I've thought of another one. It's a regular base, whatever type/faction you want, but it's located in the middle of a massive planet, you have to take a twisty-turny path to it. Not mined, that's just boring. I just love the idea of having your own little cavern, isolated

F: An old Battleship converted into a base. (solar panels, biodomes, and maybe one of those turning drum-shaped things kinda "custom added" onto the sides.)
F: in a sensor-jamming nebula
F: Battleship Weapons
B: Medium population
F: Admission on a case-by-case basis.

It would be a converted battleship that got lost with barly any protrools situated in one of the omnicron syesterms

My perfect base would be something made from salvaged ships, junk, and asteroids. It would be a self-sufficent meditational place, placed in a star sistem just outside the Barrier(but not on the Sirius side). The star sistem should be a place full of space wonders( everything you can imagine). Only robots and very few people live there, but everyone can live there if he\she want(he\she just have to build his\her abitational space), to live by contemplating the miracle of the Universe. Since it's not a danger to anybody, it would have a low defence level.

Hmm...Let's see.
Q1: F: How about juneai shipyard or watever it was called, with one of those weird newark/waterloo/roppongi station halves, the half with the doks on them attached to the front to serve as the main operation moduel. Also gotta add 3 biodomes onto the IC half station.

Q2: F: Just like zone 21, u have a minefield souronding the station and also in the middle of a sensory reducing nebular with volatile gases and high level radiation. And it's gotta be in the nomad populated top unkwon system (da really purple one).

Q3: F: Let's add some 20 or those nomad lair turrets (da really huge ones) and many more misslie turrets.

Q4: E. Well, just about. occasionally you get the order or nomads placing an order on the ships this station makes. The station will be run by me and mostly other robots.

Q5: D, so long as ur doing business of course. If not, we don't want you here.
This is like a zoner shipyard open to all, unless you'r not buyin anythin. It will be completely self sustaining, except for the construction material which you will need to supply with me if you wanna build something.

UM....ME?
DOPE! Man-Hin get outta my way...Oops did i say man-hin? i mean't chris..Oh and olie, what was he called again?

Q1. F- Heavily modified Rheinland Battleship (they're huge, with oh so much power, and modifying it would make it even more powerful).
Q2. B (or maybe E)- A hidden base for Mercenaries would be no good, we wouldn't get much custom...
Q3. A- In the mercenary business you don't half make a lot of enemies, its only a job, you know?
Q4. A- The more people to be hired by, the better.
Q5. D- Can't be picky about who I work for.

You people know nothing...

My perfect base:

Massive base deele in the middle..something big..I dont really care..

Then, The Zone 21 Minefield, Weapon Platforms going up and down in an all encompassing ball, 50 BShips from each house (Yes Hispania to..) 100 GBs from each House, 200 VHFs, 300 HFs, 500 LFs and 20 UMoS VHFs to top it all off...done an dusted...

Beat that mateys

I'd rather just have a cloaking, camouflaged, superbase INSIDE a jump gate tunnel, with 3000 weapons and some 30 BS coming and going. Is that enough for ye' folks ?
