This may be blasphemy

   Ok just throwing my 2 cents out there but it is only my thoughts and as everyone knows I am just a Idiot, so here it goes. 
    Now don't get me wrong but it is pretty cool that we can afford the largest SG plot available(at least i think it is) and the design of the recent incarnations of our base have been pretty sweet looking. I think we got someone that went to a interior decorating class to design it for us. But here is my one thing that I can see this causing problems for us.
   It is too big. Correct me if I am wrong but we can only field a maximum of 16 players during a raid, now with us having such a huge base we have to spread out thinner to cover all the areas allowing the opposing team to attack while we are spread out covering the dimensional anchors and the generator and the hospital area. So basically we have divided ourselves allready, so know all they got to do is conquer us. We did half there work for them.
    Also now we have to ensure that we earn a certain amount of prestige a month to keep paying the rent on the damn thing. And it is just my thought but Issue 7 will get lod and boring after a while to some players and we may end up seeing a decline in members participation.
    Now on the other side, with the base being so huge it does mean that they have to look a lot longer and in a lot more rooms to find the Dimensional Anchors so that they can win the base raid and they will also be spread out more. Unless they are smart and stay in large groups or in one huge well coordinated group.
    There are probably more positives and negatives I could think of that others may have themselves, I just wanted to throw my two cents in there and let you guys now what you think.
    On a serious side note, the base design has been pretty impressive and looks really good to me. So keep up the good work.

I have some opinions on this too. But the ol' brain ain't working right now. I'll be sure to feed this dichotomy of thought with a little rant of my own later tonight. Stay tuned.
 
As the guy doing the changes Idiot, I accept your critisms.  Good and bad.  Believe it or not, thats actually a mid sized plot.  We had a similiar size before this upgrade.  What this upgrade gave us, and one of the most expensive items, prestige wise as well, was a secure generator room which the Overlords asked me to put in.  This allows powered defeses, (guns) to be placed in the generator room.  It is expensive, yes.  However, we are slowly being ablet obuild back up and I am adding things as I can.  I am keeping a buffer for our rent.  I have recnetly learned a trick that give us a month as opposed to 2 weeks.  Anywho.  The last solid base design that we used to raid from fell through because people deviated from the talked about defense plan.  Any base is defendable given the proper prep.

Example, we will eventually have 3 more rooms.  These rooms will be used to house additional anchors and other such things.  There are ideas I like to use that I don't want to post here that will help us in raids when we have the larger rooms.  Now, if the overlords want me to revert the base to a non secure plot, I will be happy to do so.  I feel, at the moment, that the changes are good and when I have completed with the updates and make us raidable again we will be highly defensable and be able to hold the base with a minimum of people.

If you have ideas, please let me know.  I am always open to hear thoughts on the base and willing to explain why things are the way they are to any who are willing to listen.
 
Please don't take that post as criticism to your base design, Stone. I was just trying to make the point that with a larger plot we are spread thinner and it may be easier for opposing teams to pick us off one by one.
     I like the deisgns you have been doing and i think that the decorating you have done is pretty awesome, I was just trying to throw out my two cents to share my opinion and see what others thought.

Critisim is a good thing man.  I wasn't taking it personally.  I was thanking you for bringing it to my attention.  I'm not THAT conceited.
