Are there by chance any tutorials giving tips and help on making nice looking and working bases in forge? I cant seem to make a nice looking base from scratch :/
I think the only generic base might be using two bunker rounds like Blood Gultch and Hemmorage does. Other than that they are all from scratch, I think. Maybe have a few friends who are good at forging come see what you have started then see if they have any ideas based on what they see.
Well there's no magic formula for making a good base. It should be defendable but not invincible. Aesthetically pleasing and stand out from the rest of the map, yet also look like it belongs there...Not an easy task. The best thing to do is to look at other peoples maps and see how they tackled the issue. You can also use a pre-built building but I never use those things.
A base doesn't always have to be a structure, it can be an area. Think of countdown and the lines of symmetry but if you need building you might try putting an object reflecting itself. Alot of the pieces bungie gave us look and function well when mixed with themselves.
