Hyperstrike

Honestly, given your system specs, I wouldn't bother. Just about anything you buy that's higher performance is going to have you spending extraneous money to upgrade the power supply as well.

Plus, due to the age of the base platform (P4), the performance bump will be even less pronounced.

There. Feel better?

NOW WHADDYA WANNA DO WITH YOUR LIFE!

Okay the totem thing. Just Bad-Dumb, start to finish.

The Iron Spidey thing. Wasn't a huge fan of it. However the whole setup for Stark locking up the armor and Peter sandbagging him by having back-doored the armor's controls? It was almost worth putting up with the whole subplot just to see Stark taken down a peg or three.

And while some people hated the unmasking. Three words describe it's crowning moment of awesome.

40+ years of pulling the web over JJJ's eyes. And he gets pimp-smacked with it ON NATIONAL TV!

Wrong. An acronym CAN be an initialism. But not always.

No. To be an acronym, it would have to be a short form of a three-word phrase, where the THREE words started with M, O, and B respectively.[quote]

WRONG!

Before you get set in stone about this, actually do a bit of research please.

Incorrect. While a great number of acronyms are initialisms, there are various terms that are classified as acronyms that are actually contractions of the full term.

CONUS, for example.
MOBCOM
USAREC
WILCO
CINCPAC



Because it makes impeccable sense to object to people who use common english definitions instead...

Right?

Doesn't mean it BY DEFINITION, influences our choice of words.


Tanto and the lone ranger were surrounded by a group of indians looking to take their scalps.

<Lone Ranger> Looks like we're in trouble Tanto.
<Tanto> What mean "we" paleface?

In short, YOU may refer to these concepts this way. It doesn't mean your mode of thought is universal, nor more correct than another.

Was before my time. My SG was founded in July of '08.

Current breakdown for my SG.

I have a couple friends and their alts in the group. So they've provided about 13.25% of total prestige earnings.

Biggest Earner: Hyperstrike: 3,038,105 (Yeah, I play him a lot.)

Yes it does. All prestige is common to the SG and can be used for any purpose (not just paying rent).

The downside is the 500-to-1 inf-to-prestige conversion ratio is a massive ripoff.

I dunno about obsolete. And what about train service to Hazard zones?

I'll just chalk it up to personal taste. Then again, I don't keep massive quantities of salvage on-hand in my base much anymore (unless it's actually a team base). Mostly because I wind up having to spend prestige for rent on stuff that just really needs to be sold.

Hence the inspie storage. Usually, by the time you've glommed a few spare inspies, you're golden (at least on a larger base).

Necessities:

1. Power
2. Control
3. Telepads to cover your "side"
4. A medbay
5. A crafting area

Decoration is largely what you make of it. But the bare-bones you'll need:

Now for Power and control for a full-function base with ALL the basic amenities, you can get away with the middle-tier power and control (Ley Tap/Turbine Generator and Orbits of Control/Supercomputer with some auxillary control).

1. Power: 1,000,000 Prestige
2. Medium Control: 500,000 Prestige
3. Aux Control (2): 100,000 Prestige
4. 11 Telepads: 165,000 Prestige
5. 22 Beacons: 22,000 Prestige
6. Reclaimator/Res Circle: 10,000 Prestige
7. Invention Worktable: 25,000
8. Pillar of Ice & Flame: 50,000
9. Room Cost: 973,750

• 100,000 Control
• 162,500 Power
• 100,000 Medical
• 398,750 Transport (5x5)
• 162,500 Transport (3x3)
• 50,000 Workshop

(Note: Doing telepads as 2x to a room with 6 rooms would rack up 600K in room fees as opposed to 561,250)

Now this doesn't take into account the cost of the expanded base plot you'd need to fit it. I don't have time right now to factor that (it's 2 in the morning and I NEED to get to sleep), but you understand.

Pretty much anything beyond that, storage, etc is "decoration". Crafting tables can be brought in and removed as needed.

"Nice to have" stuff.

• Inspiration Storage in the medbay
• Autodoc
• Vault door
• Raid Telepad
• Mission Computer
• Storage (Enhancement and Component)
• Empowerment Station

This is probably causing you to suction-cup to your chair right now. Don't worry, the prestige comes hot and heavy later on.

Now, how much for a "functional" one-man base for someone with access to the base editor all the time? You could probably get away with a pair of telepads running off the combo unit and swap out beacons on an as-needed basis..

This is what I did when I was building Superheroes Anonymous up.

Oversight Center (Power, Control, Crafting): 50,000
Medbay: 50,000
TP Bay: 100,000

Combo Unit (Power and Control): 25,000 (125 Power, 75 Control)
Telepad (1): 15,000 (-50 Power, -25 Control)
Beacons (2): 20,000 (-10 Control)
Invention Table: 25,000
Reclaimator: 10,000 (-50 Power, -25 Control)


Total Cost: 295,000 (If you can pack in 15 alts or friends, you have this pretty much from the get-go).

That right there, if you have all the beacons, will get you around to pretty much any place in Paragon or the Rogue Isles. And it fits on the free, default plot.

rofl!

Other possibility is that UAC is preventing you from writing to the directory.
Try turning UAC all the way down, reboot, and try again.

Right-click on the executable and select "Run As Administrator".

If that works, you can navigate to the executable itself, right-click and select the Compatibility tab and check the checkbox for "Run as Administrator" so it runs that way by default in the future.

Shhh! I haven't watched Titanic yet!

Well, most of the movie's in the spoile....trailer...

I'll be going to see it for the extra 90 minutes of bonus footage!

Essentially it's a badly constructed pen that uses a liquid graphite ink instead of normal ink.

I've seen them and had a chance to try them.

By whose definition of "fix"?

"Fixed" for Nemesis could be where he rules the universe.
"Fixed" for Darrin Wade would be "We were a Chicken McNugget for Rularuu, but *I* was a McNugget he decided not to eat."
"Fixed" for Synapse would be...well, we have children reading this. So I'll stop here.

Done! TWICE!

GIMME GIMME GIMME!

Nope. Only have one. I'm busy enough that I can barely afford to give attention to one account, let alone multiples.

I'll answer this with a "maybe", as "farming" means different things to different people.

Since we're talking about the old GR beta, probably. The NDA on that expired a while ago. Granted, this may or may not change for i19. Actually haven't got a clue.

With the early GR, you essentially paid to have the Incarnate slot opened. Then you had to build the enhancement for it.

I remember that a portion of the enhancement ignored ED. Something like 1/6th. So, if you were already at ED cap for recharge on a power, and added an Incarnate enhancement that was 33% Recharge (acts globally), you'd get the basic 4.25% (IIRC) or whatever you'd get as if you'd added a Level 50 Hami-O, plus 1/6th of the value (5.5%). So you'd get a bare minimum 9.75% bump to recharge for that ED-capped power (and more for those that were not ED-capped).

Again, this may have changed some.

According to scuttlebutt going around, we're going to find out in 2 weeks or so.

While, on the surface this seems reasonable, this move can be a REALLY Bad Idea<TM>. Yes, it keeps the repairmen off the tower, but you have to chase them to kill them (instead of doing AOE and melting them right there).

Plus, I've had situations of repairmen wandering off and resurrecting defeated towers because of this. It earned me a STERN talking-to by my teammates.

Unless the tank in question has powers that require he have lots of enemies around (Invincibility, Energy Absorpotion, etc).

Actually, the Romulus Console is an ideal use of this power. Except when you want to blast holds (especially EM Pulse) on the waking Romulus Phalanx bots. As a non Fire/Rad superteam move, it's probably a Good Idea (save where mentioned above).
