It's my understanding that this is in the works. If i'm mistaken, please make it happen.

SG HQs could be a place to drop all the things people are asking for for their own hideouts without requiring an extensive rewrite of existing code, such as research stations and a powerhouse trainer.

Currently, regular hideouts have a limit of 10 persons in them. A SGHQ should allow up to 30, to allow a given SG to have their CCs or other multiplayer events there. an open invite option would allow anyone interested to attend without requiring the specification of invitation one character at a time--but nonmember players should still be 'bootable'.

Purchase of the hideout can be set up the same way that new bank tabs for a SG are purchaseable through the c store--meaning that the SGHQ could outlast the purchasing character.

Some suggested themes:
1) city: Hair Salon, Bar/saloon/casino-(back room), warehouse, penthouse/office space.
2) rural: Private school, Farm, Island, estate, castle, abandoned and reclaimed prison, tower in the swamp
3) Other: Orbiting Space Station, Quilphthotic hold, Underwater complex

re: Salon-- i've got a couple characters that joined an all-girl SG and had to ask. What better place to meet for them?

addendum: Decoration of the SGHQ should be limited to the sg leader exclusively or alternately, be a delegatable option such as sg bank access.

I was kind of thinking that maybe the Officers of a SG could declare certain areas "public" or "private." Anyone could come into a "public" area (unless banned from the premises), but only members could enter a "private" area.

Officers should also be able to design and place NPCs. These could be domestic staff, security guards, office staff, or whatever else they want. They'd be pure window decoration and provide no real function (other than, perhaps, to dispense information to visitors).

Also, I think generally more than 30 people come to CCs. At least 50 would be more appropriate.

Hopefully, as SGHQs become closer to reality, the devs will open up an Official Suggestions thread and we can go wild. :D
