Faction Alt, HQ Apt and Meta questions

======= Support Inquiry =======
HWS+ NA/EU - Player: Globeadue
Greetings
Some questions:

Q1:
As a admin in large faction, I think Star Command reached 60 something members this season at one point, we have large faction problems and needs.
SC has massive community bases that when broke down for storage need their own storage space.
There is no Faction OCD for us to use, so we have made use of Alt Accounts to do so, but with the ban hammer warning being put out in the recent news post, I’m worried that this will be cause for my alt account to be banned.

If rules need to be put in place to allow a faction ALT to be used I’m fine with that…
Alt account cannot:

  • participate in HQ missions / event in order to gain additional rewards
  • participate as an active PVP participant
    stuff like that

Q2: More of a feedback / feature request:
As a player that enjoys doing all of the ECC HQ mission portals daily and a Astral supporter, It would be nice to be able to have an Astral perk of an ECC HQ Apartment dedicated so that I don’t have to worry about taxes and have a place to stow my daily loots and a wireless connect to when turning in tokens. Something simple, not as extravagant as the Racom apartments. A 640k container, maybe a couple 16k containers, and wireless connectivity from top to bottom are all I really think it would need, HQ already offers full medical and my idea isn’t for the apt to be a full fledge base of operations, just a storage/wireless point for doing missions and token turn ins.
Apartment size, I’m thinking of Corbin Dallas apartment in The Fifth Element.

Q3A:
Is it possible to have a copy of ECC HQ spawned on a donation planet playfied as one of the allotted POIs? I like doing the portal missions but people heavy farm them and I found them on cooldown a lot this season. Being able to designate one of my plantets POI’s as a ECC HQ would let me enjoy portal missions on my schedule and when I wanted to.

Q3B:
Is it possible to for me to make a POI that has the portals on it that point at the missions? ECC HQ has a lot more than portal missions so I can understand why it wouldn’t be allowed, but a custom POI of just portal missions might be allowed? Is it simply pointing a stargate @missionpoiname? I have never setup mission portals before so I don’t know if its that simple or if there is extra work needed. I don’t really need a full blown ECC HQ, I really just want to be able do the portal missions without worrying about someone having done them.

Q4A: more of a feature request / feedback
For the past 3-4 seasons, I have heavily renovated my Meta planet HQ to make it more usable for my needs. Expanded garden, removal of decorative fluff, expanded landing pad to accommodate a destiny/ravager class ship.
It’s sad all that work is lost each season because F2/Blueprinting/Base spawning is disabled there. It would be nice if I could have my META base persist through the wipe and be ready with my renovations on the next season start.

Q4B:
Is it possible to have a custom base put down on META?
I seem to recall the description of the Meta or was it Residence that it was designed for people to build stuff creatively on the planet, with the restrictions in place, I don’t see that being something anyone can or would want to do since they cannot save their BPs and they are lost at end of season.

@RexXxuS

Don’t do that.

A faction OCD was always planned but now, unfortunately not possible anymore.
It was always delayed / blocked by the deep implications of problems, such as thieves, logs, permissions, etc.
Especially if it should have the same logic of being a persistent storage throughout the full wipe. What if this faction does not exist in the next season anymore for example. Too many issues.
And during the season there is a system called Logistic/Containers.
I know that players like the global aspect of it of course.

What I’m thinking would be to create a Dialogue System Feature that let you store, share and access items globally. It’s what I can do without the help of others.
It means less fancy HWS Connect support and item support though. For now…

With my idea above your Q2 can be solved as well.

This question came up many years before and the answer was and still is: no.
I rather improve the EGS HQ Stargate (cooldown) system.

It would not solve the problem. Any Portal leading to one Mission would be on cooldown. The cooldown is mission based, not location based.

Nice idea. I could add it as Meta Patron reward, to be able to request his blueprint spawned on Meta as his own Appartment.

Maybe you mean Elite Builders League planets?
Meta was rather meant for admin cored POIs, as a nice chill place to hang out.

Thanks for the answers 8)

I hadn’t even stuffed the faction alts ocd yet this season so no worries there.

The dialogue system sounds interesting… I’ve done some crazy dialogue logics to produce dynamic output in my POI’s I’ve built.

That sucks on the portals being global 8(
