	As the name suggests, a base design that gets everything it can out of the smallest plot size to avoid ever having to pay rent on the base. These bases can, with current game mechanics, last forever with no need to ever have a leader log in. Once established, they last and can provide most of the services a larger base would. Properly laid out this base will allow an SG a total of nine (9) rooms including the entrance, a control room, Energy room, a Medbay or Infirmary, several Teleport Chambers and Workshops. It is impossible to provide teleport to all of the current 21 zones that have beacons in the game (it requires 6 rooms and exceeds the amount of control available unless you have a super computer). However if one small SG forms a Coalition with a second small SG they can coordinate their teleport chambers and offer teleport to every zone and still offer workshops where members can store invention salvage (with the addition of a Personal Storage Vault), craft enhancements (with the placement of an Invention work bench), and even store invention or dropped enhancements. Members of both groups can use the vault and Invention workbench in either base but only members of that particular SG can store or remove items from and enhancement storage unit. As prestige grows even a small SG can eventually obtain a Super Computer which allows even more options like placing a Pillar of Ice and Flame so time travel missions can be accessed directly from the base. If one small SG has this option any coalition member from another SG can also access time travel from that base. NOTE: since the Pillar has to be placed in the control room the Super Computer is necessary because a small base only allows 4 auxiliary devices and to run the teleporters and a Basic Reclamation Chamber (in your medbay) along with a workbench or two you will need 4 databases or not everything will work. You can get around this limitation by giving up a room and using the 4x1 control room which allows 6 auxiliary devices. This room would allow the Pillar and 5 databases, which would be enough control for the Basic Reclamation Chamber, 6 teleporters (with 12 beacons) and one workbench.

Properly laid out this base will allow an SG a total of nine (9) rooms including the entrance, a control room, Energy room, a Medbay or Infirmary, several Teleport Chambers and Workshops. It is impossible to provide teleport to all of the current 21 zones that have beacons in the game (it requires 6 rooms and exceeds the amount of control available unless you have a super computer). However if one small SG forms a Coalition with a second small SG they can coordinate their teleport chambers and offer teleport to every zone and still offer workshops where members can store invention salvage (with the addition of a Personal Storage Vault), craft enhancements (with the placement of an Invention work bench), and even store invention or dropped enhancements. Members of both groups can use the vault and Invention workbench in either base but only members of that particular SG can store or remove items from and enhancement storage unit. As prestige grows even a small SG can eventually obtain a Super Computer which allows even more options like placing a Pillar of Ice and Flame so time travel missions can be accessed directly from the base. If one small SG has this option any coalition member from another SG can also access time travel from that base. NOTE: since the Pillar has to be placed in the control room the Super Computer is necessary because a small base only allows 4 auxiliary devices and to run the teleporters and a Basic Reclamation Chamber (in your medbay) along with a workbench or two you will need 4 databases or not everything will work. You can get around this limitation by giving up a room and using the 4x1 control room which allows 6 auxiliary devices. This room would allow the Pillar and 5 databases, which would be enough control for the Basic Reclamation Chamber, 6 teleporters (with 12 beacons) and one workbench.		As the name suggests, a base design that gets everything it can out of the smallest plot size to avoid ever having to pay rent on the base.
