Post Get rid of base slot limit on an account
Some players like to build their accounts rather than pay for lots of accounts to get proper base building going.

I have recently been hit with the base limitation on an account, and I feel this shoudnt be.

I've already suggested this in a form of some "improved" or "additional" subscription payment so you can have roughly 2 accounts worth of base slots before I was a developer.

I'll ask the other developers when the next meeting happens but I have a feeling it maybe too much pay to win mentality and may upset some players or the extra payment just for base slots wont be enough for paying an additional subscription fee.

We did raise the account slot limit to a flat 150 instead of going off of your SM levels. That ought to be pretty much enough for anyone since you would surely want a couple MFM alts.

only limitation should be skill level per char. if you want to add double accounts for a payment, feel free.. but that's beyond the point

Why would you want more than three characters' worth of bases on an account?

Can use MfM base slots to make IC bases, regardless the answer it's to maximize your slots.

If you organize your slaves and base utilization well enough, you may not require MFM slots.

Can ask, why would the devs want to limit the amount of base slots?

He's not wrong, why not just give each character a set amount of base slots, instead of the account slots bullshit? I often use MFM bases to tap random nearby nodes to a prod that I don't deem worthy of an EE base.

Because bases are one of the most computationally expensive assets for the server and we don't want to allow people to spam them all over the place.
