I LIKE this idea  :D
But I wish we could be a bit more creative about building bases :(

Excellent idea. Me and a couple of guys bought one of the last Faction Names simply so we could have a cave. It really doesn't make sense for people who have no interest in PvP/TC to be named as a faction.

We didn't want a cave to be a faction we wanted a cave to get a nicer place to live! :D

Awesome idea.
But the waves of ennemies should also be related with the number of players (1-3-5-10-20-50), the nature of the base (cheap hideout-Heavy Barraks- Modern and complex infrastructure)

Also, the challenge would be harder if you want a faction name. (if you want to create a well known faction, you better deserve it)

For the ressources, i think you need :
- A bigger number of ressources. (a few pieces seems a pity to build an entire base)
- Intermediate pieces (for instance, build the door with wood, then bring the door to the builder)
- A fee (the guy doesn't work for free)
- The ability to help the builders, between the waves, even with a low skill character. (which mean no character dedicated to help the builder, but a time investment on building, for everyone)

kraskish, The main disadvantage is that the players that has built this base is unable to participate in TC, until they had bought a name, which can cost any sum (maybe even 30, 70 or 120k, depending on the type).

Lizard, naossano, guys, your ideas is good too, but they would require a lot more working time and a few "buildidng in progess" maps, which developers don't have at the moment, unless you want to help with it and contribute your work.

So how about upgrading a base, without dynamic maps?

I wrote that somewhere, but can do that one more time:
 U build a base without any lockers. Then you go to shop and simply buy lockers (which are normal obljects, that you can lift using science/repair on them), then you go to base and simply put locker/box where you want. Using this objects you 'stealing' from it. Using skill on it, you can lift and move. So you can organise whole base as you want. There should apply not only for lockers/boxes, but also for stills, workshops, nukacolas machines, brahmins pens etc.

Its like cube from Diablo 2, which is moveable objects, and can store other objects. Of course there should be limit of objects can you store in. And also when you put something inside locker, you simply cannot move it (to prevent from abusing).

Yep, I've thought about the dynamite/dynacord stick/plastic explosives, but after a little comparison I've considered them as a pretty rare and hard to get stuff, so I've decided to stay with grenades, which could be activated by pulling out of the linchpin with the rope. Same result, but cheaper and more reliable.
you can make a cave using fragmentation grenades?
NO
a frag grenade is not a big boom devise, his deadly effect is due to the FRAGMENTS dealed by the explosion wich are like proyectiles. your idea is completely surrealistic.
Anyway the game is completely unrealistic, but the Dynamites must be used to make caves, that was his purpose in FO2.
Being sincerously everybody have a suicide bomber alt.

And what about the computer? you craft it or what?
or maybe you buy it among with the faction name, but it will need to make two maps.

Why not pay 30k caps AND do the quest ?
The TC name only cost more blood and money...

You're right, though if you didn't mentioned - I suggest to use nades instead of dynamite because it's easier to craft and all. But your point is obviously more logical.

And what about the computer? you craft it or what?

It's easier to let it work, but instead of regular greeting that says "*beep* welcome to the [faction name] members database", it may say something like "sorry, no connection to the database ... logging off" until the faction name is registered.

The computer should keep been used for registering new members. (or there is no need for a computer)

+1, if I could vote more than once I would say +1000.  It's a great idea.  I also kinda like the idea of the quests being needed to help move you along for making the base. 

Since the current system is SO easy to abuse when it comes to taking things from other players, you might make it where you don't have to carry everything at once to make the base (like the 10 hides for a tent).  Not sure how, maybe make it so that the place where the base will finally be needs to have your main tent there first? (sort of an upgrade.)

Somewhere, not too long ago someone posted several possible new tent maps, I bet they could be partially used for small base style, and added to for bigger ones.  I can't find the thread though.
