After setting up a Player-Owned Base, owners can request to have the base model changed to reflect the station's nature & purpose. Either Scientific Data or Credits can be used to purchase a model. Below is the pricing of each core level model, alongside a further list of what models are available at each core level.
Purchase of base models of higher core level than your base is prohibited. However you are allowed to purchase models of a lower core level. Player base hit points are tied to the model used, not their core level. (Core 5 stations using a Core 2 model will have Core 2 hit points.) Models purchased retain their value, so in the event of purchasing a new model for a POB with an older one, a discount will be applied depending on what the value of the old model is (see below).
Staff reserve the right to reject such a purchase if the model does not fit the location / nature / purpose of the base.
Examples include but aren't limited to:
Newark models out in the remote Border Worlds and Omicrons.
Asteroid bases outside of an asteroid field.
The following template should be used and posted via this page:
Code:
[b]Request for POB Model Purchase[/b]
[b]1. Name of your base[/b]
[b]2. IFF of your base:[/b]
[b]3. Model requested:[/b]
[b]4. Date of any previous requests:[/b]
[b]5. Reasons for model being roleplay appropriate:[/b]
[b]6. The name of the ship(s) holding the purchase fee.[/b]
. .Most important update - just to remind everyone: Staff reserve the right to reject such a purchase if the model does not fit the location / nature / purpose of the base.
Updated thread based on 5.3 patch notes and previous replies here.
Replaced imagery with a clean list. All core listings link out to images of respective base models.
Core 5 models I am still getting confirmation on. What is here so far is available to use. . .
