I have been thinking about this ever since I got the GSO Tall Solar Gen. and wondered why is it that only GSO has a solar gen. and yet none of the other factions do not? I think having a solar array for each faction would improve these areas of game play (I will try and add images of photos the emulate the examples I am giving!) ::
1) More Uniform Bases - Having a uniform base would greatly improve the aesthetic of bases so as to have a clean base. Especially if you like one over the over. For example, I could see Hawkeye's new anchor be re-engineered to fit a cool satellite style solar array and it could possible follow the sun to maximize the power intake.
2) Venture Mobile Array - Seeing as Venture is founded around speed and mobility, they would have had in mind for awhile to develop a means to generate solar power whilst on the move and thus would have developed the means to a mobile solar array before any other faction. The style for this one could be a small curved panel in a L1 x W1 x H1 block that always faces in the direction placed.
3) Faster Charging stations - Another reason I am wanting this to be a thing is because of GeoCorp. The fact is that GeoCorp has the BIGGEST and BADDEST block s in the whole TerraTech universe (thus far!!!) and as such would have the safest base worthy solar array. What it lacks in charge time it makes up in rigidity. For this one I could see a L4 x W4 x H4 styled array. Similar to the giant radio telescopes you see but made to focus light to a single point. You could also have it set up like the solar arrays in the Mohave Desert but styled in maybe a wider base instead of a higher one say a L6 x W6 x H1.
This is just a thought but I am curious if anyone has improvements or other ideas for this to be more reasonable as a future add in.
