yea, as me and Bru have spoken alot about this (since we are in Coalition lol) he knows we completely agrea on this subject. Even we had to recruit especially for CoP, so that we would have good team-configs for it (since we are a bit corr-lite atm).

I would really want to know what the plan was from the beginning with colitions.. i know during the 1 year on CoH US i never figured it out, and never bothered with it... with the upcomming CoP/Base-raid/IoP situation 'soon' making ppl fight eachother alot more, i formed a non-aggression pact within the coalitions, so we could find a use for it ourselves... other than that, id say coalitions are meant for ppl to chat only.. ie, Alt-SGs works good as coalitions, so that main and Alt SG can communicate without using a global channel.

regarding SG-pimping, heres a great place to do that
SG Recruitment Corner - Union

GL with the SG

How about if we all dug into our pockets and payed for Bridgers Swedish education?(it will also be a great asset when/if he wants to search for a new job as a forum moderator at a swedish adult forum.) Its a fun language and considered to be one of the most difficult languages in the world, so it will keep Bridgers skills at their peak and stimulate him, from his otherwise gloomy days of complaints and forum-flamewars

just kidding btw.. no offense to anyone.. jsut trying to be funny a late friday night...........

hehe, kul.. jag gjorde en svensk-SG på US servern, men det gick inget vidare.. men jag gjorde en grym SG-kostym.. som **** en snitsig varian av det gula korset. I dagsläget är jag inte intresserad av att joina, eftersom jag har fullt upp att ösa tonvis med pres till min egna SG men jag har en fullblods viking (både krafter och kostym) som kanske kan fylla ut din SG när han blir lvl 50 (en månad eller nåt)

Lycka till och om du behöver tips/hjälp så kontakta mig elle @max powerz för invite till Union Leaders; en global chat för SG ledare.

well, i still try to run them at times, tho i find it hard to get corrs interested i dont really agrea on corrs and MMs being close in performance in RSF, since MMs are usually useless for dmg after the 1st min of combat (this since pets buffs wear off, and the die very, very fast and its mostly very hard to respawn them (this is when u stopped pulling and do the head-on strike) and dont forget about scourge that is very handy to increase DPS... but yes, i was with BJB when we did it with 3 MMs, we also did one run with 6 corrs, 1 brute, 1 dom and faild... i also done it with only 1 corr (kin) and succeded... BJB and myself have 2 of the most useless ATs (in my oppinion, so dont flame me on that one) for RSF, but we done very good results (BJBs astonnishing records shows it all) its alot about skill and how u handle ur char, not really what sets u got. tho some configs tend to work faster atleast.. such as rads and kins improves DPS for entire team alot.

anyway, since im still running RSFs (mostly SG-runs) drop me a tell if ur interested in joining the runs.. usually we need corrs (no dark tho lol) and unfortunatly space is limited for other ATs, but there is no harm in sending a tell, and ill see what i can do =)

here are some numbers u can work for an acceptable base:

* 2nd plot 8x12 (tho not needed, for more than estetic/tactical/RP reasons)

* Energy terminal (can hold a generator and 1 storage)

* Teleport Chamber (can have 2 TP (so 4 beacons))

* Medbay (all u really need as a 1st hosp)

* Control room (supports sufficient amount of aux to boost production to a good point + 1 storage)

* Workshop (can support more storage than actually fits the room???? i placed basic and advanced tables and 1 of each storage)

This base is NOT raidable. making it raidable will cost approx 1 more mill.

however, this base contains all that a SG will need, and still have plenty of space to add rooms for decorations or additional TPs etc. imo this is the 1st goal for a new SG to reach, since it will be a fully functional base in every PvE-sense. The total cost will end at about 3-3.5 mill with all equip and decorations included. Perhaps the 1st functional base, should be fittet in the 1st plot since it will save u 1.6 mill on the cost. but i used the 2nd plot, since u asked for it )

regarding amount of time it takes to earn this amount varys alot ofcourse. if we include rent and other unexpected(?) costs, lets set the goal at 3.5 mill. in my experience, u can set a pretty good meassure at 4k prestige/hour/player (not the 1st 10 lvls tho, where its about 2.5k) we aim low and say a fresh, new lowbie SG will earn about 3k/hour/player this means in an SG of about 20 ppl lvls 1-25 i reckon u end up with about 175 hours active playing. so maybe (just a guess) it takes about 1 month is probably a good guess in time.

In my case it only took 7-10 days to get an operational base, but we had our aim set high and was very intense (only me earning 200k first 2 weeks and think the SG had about 50 members at that point, my SG isnt the best comparison)

i hope the numbers help a bit, and feel free to send either me, @max powerz or @Far-seer a tell for invite to Union Leaders global chat, for SG-leaders where great info and ideas can be exchanged with other SG-leaders.

Good Luck

hehe.. i dont mind the competition.. tho i feel prices are good.. and that i dont really make that much benefits from it (not like the 20k pres i can get for that 10 mill inf makes any diff, and the inf isnt going into my pocket, but for SGs collateral expidentures) but i admit.. i could sell 400 tech power and not even miss them.. or 350 tech materials.. as said in previous post.. i have 1.5k components.. and i cant even see how on earth ill be able to spend it in the next 6-8 months.. while the SG still keeps grinding new salvage....... tho the insane time i would have to spend transferring 1000x99999 inf to earn 100 mill isnt even a possiblility at this point.. just the 10 mill with ka-kashi took 10-20 min lol (side note: i know it been said 1 billion times before, but for the love of XXX... give us another digit in the inf-transfer lol)

i got another plan regarding the salvage as well, involving Union Leaders, but ill keep the lid on for now, untill i spoken to the rest of the guys about it.. in the meantime.. insane amounts of tech components are up for grabs.. drop me a tell

Even tho i dont really need to explain myself, the prices are set fairly reasonable if compared to actually farm for them regarding time vs amount of inf earned during that time.. 10 tech power would take for a solo player atleast 10 missions, most likely more... and the amount of inf earned during 10 missions is far more than 1 mill (at lvl 50)... which means u loose no real inf farming them or buying them.. but u save 2 hours of playing.. and dont get me started at the tier 3 components so either take it or leave it..

lmao.. u cought me.. hey.. 1 sec.. ur always up that easrly too, m8.. i have CET, so ur up even earlier than me.. now thats sick.. atleast i dont get up at 5-6 am anymore in order to play

hehe... dangerously close to cross-posting here.. again 2 prominent players and SG leaders on Union let their greed cloud their judgement It suprises me Max actually has room for every1.. i take it EVIL... (hmm.. now what is the eglish word for this) has a high member consuming.. (this is not the word i was going for lol).. Here is some info about the other SGs that might interest you as well.. SG Recruitment Corner

not totally sure on my online-ability this week, but if im online, ill be there for all events listed as usual.. since ive noticed that unless we can mount a whole team from SG on mondays, no lvl 45+ will be left to pick up, i most likely wont be running my SG-run this monday, tho me and a few members may be open for RSF, so ill drop u a tell monday afternoonish

i actually want to point out 1 thing missd in ths section.. and that is the RP-aspect of base. Having a base will massively increase the RP value of the game/SG. unfortunately i feel that in order to build a satisfying RP-base (only minor functions, but with several decorative rooms) u still need an extansial amount of pres if u ask me..sure u can do a low-budget version, but im sure due to the lack of space in the smallest plot, most RP-SGs dont see this satisfactory..

well, regarding salvage farming.. u can farm the lower types and PvP-specials. just as if u would farm SOs, ie nemesis will reward with tech SOs and certain Nemesis salvage. but there is a probability equation that enters this system. the result is that u have a huge chance of acuire salvage used to build basic components, and almost no chance (id guess 1% or so) of gaining a salvage used for expert components.

Some1 said to me that arcane salvage for expert components are less common than tech version, tho i seriously doubt this. but i see some diff in salvage drops regarding enemy.. ie Arcane SGs should farm CoT where u get alot of arcane salvage. Since im addicted to PvP-missions, i can confirm that besides the standard tier 3 special salvage for completion, the bosses reward probably 90% salvage needed for tech components. But when it comes to farm salvage needed for expert-components, i havent seen any easy way to do this. they are very rare drops, and can accour at any time against any enemy. (tho im sure we are talking lvl 40+ since it became alot more frequent in i7 than i6 even tho i played my 40s alot in i6. but i cant confirm this to be true, but im positive probability scales with lvl)

And as max said. Salvage for big SGs after the salvage racks introduction, has becomed odd. We also has insane amounts of salvage and there is nothing to use it for, unless u want to build stupid things u dont need. Tho im sure this will be usefull with Empowerment stations where u actually can afford to boost teams performance alot. (Thx for the boost on that btw)

Thought i may as well make it official, even tho i spoke to u earlier this week, But im up for all 4 of the weekend runs. guessing ill use my high-DPS brute or high-DPS dom depending on team config along with my bubbler

edit: tho my EM/DA brute with massive res to PSI and taunt may be a nice way of handling sis P. ill let u decide.. ill bring what u need

oops, the rare IoP wasnt awarding correctly - fixed".


[/ QUOTE ]

lmao.. this is a very possible scenario. and u have reason to doubt raids. Since raids was introduced into CoX which is starting to close in on its 1st year, it is still bugged??? im amazed how this function of the game, that is supposed to be the reason we bought CoV, still dont have priority to be fully operationable. CoP is still locked after 9 months of theoretical access, since its not quite complete yet. Raids still reward us with debt, which has been a bug since day one and surely wouldnt be that hard to fix.

The reason ppl are loosing interest in raids, are that they never seem to be 'up and running' and frankly.. most ppl dont enjoy debt that much.. its only the fanatics that actually dont mind the debt. There is also the issue with some SG/VG making raids a high priority of SGs agenda, and by doing so becomes very, very strong compared to the grey mass of 'care-free' SGs. Not gonna make any propaganda or anything, but there are a very few numbers of SGs/VGs on Union that would stand a chance in our base. The same goes for most of the top 10 SGs. sure a battle between them is more even, but no1 is interested in spending a week of organising, 1 hour of endless instant dying, just to get Sgs morale lowered, trying to attack the stronger ones. And if i would say it myself.. i doubt most of the Top 10 SG/VG even would conciderate attacking eachother, since they are all a happy bunch that are more allies than enemies. even tho im sure most of them will give it their best shot to set our base on fire :P

I see raids as prolly 1 of the most fun events an SG can take part in, and the idea of all-out wars between SG/VGs in persuit of the perfect IoP is very exiting.. but will it ever work?

[ QUOTE ]
I still dont see what IoPs have got to do with base pvp though. If its not happening without IoPs it aint gonna happen with them either as IoPs suck.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, cant say i agrea here.. Not sure how it is throughout the game, but Villains on Union has a fairly active 'Instant raid' activity, and has so since it started to work properly. This is just the more established SG/VG that does this on a regualr basis, but we are hoping it increases as more ppl reach 50.

and regarding the effect of IoPs i cant really make up my mind. I know most larger SG/VG will do the CoP atleast enough times to win it once, atleast for teh badge/experience. The initial boosts from IoPs do seem a bit small and uneffective. not sure how the mez-protection works, if its res to Mag 1 or what, but if its Mag 1 resist, its usefull, but not important. there are the rare 20% (i think) boosters as well in the game (6 per server?) and tbh.. 20% +dmg or +XP would be worth fighting for, no doubt. and if u possess an IoP, u are forced to accept raids, and if u have one of the rare ones, u better be prepared. This is the motivation and goal i have for My VG, and i hope we can achieve atleast 1 of the 6 rare IoPs. and with the boost in Base-strengths, i can see it possible to defend one as well lol.

meh.. max gets 2 spots hey? bloody brownnose Well, set me up as reserve on sundays run if u please..

well, as soon as u find, let me know.. got a nice webbie to throw at it

ah.. well tbh, in a case like this, the SG shouldnt own a base so it still feels as a good balance.. but on another matter.. unless they release IoPs soon, no1 is gonna care about bases anyway other than means of transportations =(

well, if im not too late and ur still looking, drop me a tell if ur an ambitious player with high goals. we in Violators are 1 of the leading VGs on Union and are very active, both in playing normal PvE and taking parts in events. there also is a thread somewhere in this section where u can read up on several VGs on Union and get a good comparison regarding VGs.. anyway, welcome to Europe and i hope you can survive the harsh climate here.. no way near the same activity here as on US-servers so teams can be very scarse at times.

Unless you buy stuff with the prestige and dont sell items to pay rent.... Then the base will get locked down and you cant sell the items anymore..


[/ QUOTE ]

considering u get a notification about rent pretty long before its due, and u can owe rent for a while, a lockdown isnt really an issue, unless u disregard the rent on purpouse and dont save up for it (which is ofcourse stupid and then deserves to get locked down) however im quite sure i once entered base with my rank 1 char after a lockdown and sold stuff to pay rent once, but i wont guarantee that so was the case, tho it sounds most likely that the highest ranked memebr can access base to sell items to pay rent.
