creating my own base!!

[Binski]

He is technically free to settle in Tau 29 15K out of any TL and base, because on basis of the Tau Decree, in which area, beside TLs + 15K zones around them do not belong to anyone.

However, I propose that you should listen to Ponge and make yourself familiar with game first.

I'd still be careful, neither navy is going to tolerate just any base in the zone, and since there is a Zoner base in that zone (FP6), Zoner might seem logical. However I wouldn't recommend a delicate situation like that to someone who doesn't know the RP/laws and lay of the land very well, and is only setting up their first base for the first time.

Not sure if anyone answered this for you, but yes, you need a base construction ship, that you can use that to build the base after you have collected all of the basic commodity requirements.(see base info guide)

Then you need other transports standing by, ready with the essential supplies to run the base, 200 crew, and lots of Food, Water, Oxygen, and Reinforced Alloy (which is the #1 thing that will keep your base running).

If you run out of any of those things, the base will start to die. There are also other resources you need to stock up on in case its damaged. You will also need to ship out supplies to build other modules, for storage, a shield module to protect it, and all sorts that come later, like modules that will let you build things like cloaking devices, or jump drives, etc. You'll need to ship out about 8000 units of RA (reinforced alloy) per day, + f/w/o.

If you are going to build a base in any of the Houses controlled space, either ask the house for permission, and you will have to pay a monthly fee (which is the same policy in any house, since a base can be like a business, it can generate money if you set it up right, to buy and sell goods for profit). If you plan to just do your own, I'd pick a spot far above or below the system plane and keep it hidden.

Before you go sinking a large amount of time into a base, everyone who's ever had one would advise to get very familiar with the game, the area you want to build in, the factions in those areas, and where you might build it so that it goes unnoticed. People can rush into this and make huge commitments to bases. Some work out ok, others turn out in disaster. Odds are your first base or two will only last a short while, but you'll learn how they work and eventually be able to succeed with a more permanent set up. You'll also learn how much time goes into them, they can become stressful instead of fun, and its a gamble with your own time. Just don't be surprised if you lose a couple times before you win!
