All Starbases the same

edited July 2012 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
When fleet starbases are finished and fully upgraded, will they all be exactly the same? Will there be anything to make one different than the other? If they're all going to be exactly the same as each other then I'm very disappointed.

    Well...yes. I admit, some customization might be nice, but only if such things were looks-only, and didn't have an affect on game-play or anything like that.

    But, I am curious, what did you yourself have in mind?

    I want an original series starbase, inside and out.

    Good post, I would like to see some options here in the future.

    Old abandoned space stations, labs, mines etc. Some fleets, specially on KDF side, play a band of marauders, raiders, the shiny official military facility doesn't fit in really. On FED side one can think of a section 31 Black Ops facility.

    I'm hoping they add projects to change the deck appearance (similar to bridges) or have a selection of projects that are "either x or y but not both".

    EDIT: to clarify, I mean "not both at the same time", so you can switch between them by doing the appropriate projects, but cost deters it.

    From devblog S6 #12 "From time to time, special projects will become available for fleets. With these special projects you can unlock new features to give your starbase more crew, more customization, and more recognizable features from Star Trek!"


    Whether that'll involve entire redesigns, or just putting a flowerpot in the corner is anyone's guess, though...

    At the very least I hope we'll have either the name of the fleet or the name of the starbase on the hull.

    Like we do with ships.

    + to customization.

    Would be awesome!

    Would be cool if you could equip weapons on the base too! For those pesky fleet defense battles.

    Yes I know they have some, but would be better if we can choose them ourselves.

    Being able to change the faction logo to the fleet one would be good too. It is, after all, a specific fleet's starbase, not just a generic KDF/Fed one.

    One simple customisation I'd like to see is, in the main room on Ops, there's a huge white circle on the ground, (Not yet sure if it's actually for something in one of the higher tiers)
    But if it isn't for anything, then i would like to see the Fleet's Emblem on it.

    The spinning cog icons above it would imply it's going to be put to use sometime in the future.

    Or..... That it is yet another broken item that got ignored in what is laughingly called a test server.

    THis!

    I love the idea of, when we finally reach level 5, warping into the system and seeing the fleet logo on that massive dome.

    There's a number of these floating (no pun intended) around. K7 has one. ESD has another.

    Been meaning to make a list with screencaps.

    A custom fleet emblem would be really cool... It could also emblazen our uniforms!

    There's no need. This is a known issue. A code change when we swapped branches broke how those interact FX work. If the server can't find the object that it's supposed to be on, it plays the FX at 0,0,0 (which is often the center of the map/room). Last I heard they were working on a fix.

    Actually it's been designed and first used for The Motion Picture (as Orbital Office Complex).



    How about having holo-projections of our fleet emblem somewhere in our bases? Like the holo-icons seen near the transporter pads of ESD, SB39 and DS K-7.

    And YES, having our starbase name written somewhere on it's hull (pls not too overly large) would be nice!

    AND: Would the game's code allow for actually adapting the system designation according to our base name? "Fleet Starbase System" is soooo ugly.

    Fleet star base customization I would like to see:

    HOLODECK:
    * Weapons testing against selectable enemy's - as seen on TNG where Worf would use the holodeck for training.
    * Ability to pick space / ground skills for FREE while in the holodeck environment and then test them in space or ground scenarios again off the holodeck. Once tested, skill sheet can be saved and loaded in the real game environment skills re-spec station at the normal cost of a re-spec token.

    OPS LEVEL:
    *A location board on one of the walls that shows where everyone in your fleet is in real time

    TACTICAL LEVEL:
    * The window unblocked from the ready room on the tactical level.
    * Foundry projects to work from some of the un used doors all over the starbase (whenever the foundry comes back)

    STARBASE SECTOR SPACE:
    * Ability to beam over to the array / fabricator / ship yard as seporate locations with different view points of your star base sector, and moving what ever NPC person is associated to that area from the star base to the correct structure / building in the starbase sector...

    I also hope there will be something more to customization. Placing a few items is nice, but things like additional room placement, or styles would be fantastic.

    Or something like City of...'s base editor. I realize they have to have spots to link in missions, but that can be done by making certain consoles mandatory to place.
