On FTB I am in the process of moving my base and I need some inspiration, I am going to clear out a bunch of area underground and make a base out of it, I'm not sure exactly what I want it to look like, so please post pictures of your underground base(s) to give me or anyone else inspiration. ( Or just to show off your work ;))
 
Look at Zisteau on youtube he has a good underground base, there's also pryopuncher they both have under ground bases
 
I don't have any pictures unfortunately (the server I was playing on disappeared before I'd finished the build) but my favourite underground base design was an inverted glass pyramid. I'll try to explain it in a way that makes sense.

I quarried out a huge area all the way down to bedrock (49 chunks in a 7x7 square), and covered the ceiling in glass leaving a massive underground "hole". I then suspended my base from the ceiling in the centre of the area on three levels with glass walls that tapered inwards.

Level 1 was a 5x5 chunk "green" area that contained all of my environmental dabblings; it had a tree farm, a biomass/biofuel refinery and a laboratory for bees and trees. My magical workshop was also on this level. I had animals roaming around it and it was very free range and tranquil.
Level 2 was a 3x3 chunk "industrial" area suspended a good distance below level 1 and contained all of my heavy machinery. It housed my ore refinery network, my charcoal plant and my tritium generation facility as well as all of my item storage/distribution and workshops.
Level 3 was a single 15x15 chunk secured with warded stone and an MFFS system. It was home to my fusion generator and my matter fabricator.

I never really got chance to do anything with the exterior of the base site, and hadn't decided on a theme for the view outside the glass. I was toying with ideas such as recreating a Nether Fortress/stronghold or building a gigantic sculpture of a demon encased in ice or something. Sadly, that's when the server went splat and it was all for naught.
 
Kinda like:

But square, with glass walls, less floors and without the extra rooms at the bottom
 
Yup, Taco .. and yup, Dwappo .. that is the hive from RE1. :P .. it was the original inspiration for the build.
 
Haters gonna hate, RE1 was pretty awesome.
I mean, it was BAD, but in a good way.
Like a toned-down version of Ghostbusters or Back to the Future.

Bad explanation for the win

That's what I'm saying; they're amazing, but if you think too hard about them out of context you realise that they're pretty weird
