šŸ’” What is motivating this suggestion?
-I have been watching the #šŸŽØļø±art-cosplay channel a bit, and have seen some really good ideas for cosmetics, and would like to get thoughts from the Community on things that would be cool to see in the game!

šŸ’” What is your proposal?

  • Post your suggestion! Would recommend focusing on Character Cosmetics, since those are already established, but other ideas never hurt. (any examples, images, artwork, to help show what you mean, helps). ALSO they have to remain in character with the game. (Looking at you CoD)

Edit: DONT BE SCARED TO PING ME HERE WITH YOUR IDEA! The highlight helps me keep track of it.

I very much enjoy the idea of ship skins as well.
Racing stripes/flames or pin up girls like bomber pilots would do.
Stuff like that would be pretty awesome.

I've said it before, and i'll probably say it again.
Buck rogers, XZ-38 Disintegrator pistol skin for the luger.
or alternatively, if you want to do gun skins, but don't want to be call of duty with all the stupid camos, or un realistic ideas like the buck rogers one, do things like reskin guns in the game with similar real guns.
so something like the STG you could buy a skin and turn it into an AK.
or the new thumper, a skin that makes it look like "sturmpistole".

#

or since we are pirates, maybe add "veteran pirate skins" for each gun, that are "used" and unique in ways.
say uh... the sten, instead of the suppressor and drum looking like it does now, maybe the surpressor is wrapped with different material or cables or something foud in raids through experience, maybe the drum is painted up some with a pirate logo or something.

#

And I know it's not exactly a cosmetic but you could probably sell it: like stat track in csgo, except instead of how many kills you've gotten, it tracks whose owned a gun.
every time you die with a gun in your hands it adds your name to the list, and if some one picks it up they can look at it by right clicking, either in raid or in menu. Then if they die holding it they get added to the list, ect.

-lady marauder cosmetics.
-emotes and gun flourish.
-old school pirate gear like vambraces, stocking cap, tricorn helmet.
-Asian inspired stuff like Jin Roh armor dudes with some samurai flair to it.
-armors that come in varied conditions like rusty or beat to shit.

Helmet cosmetic that makes your head wear a cowboy hat, inside of a 1990s apollo style space helmet.

Maybe like women character models or stuff to differentiate a women marauder from a male. Armor with less broad shoulders, smaller torso etc.

Going to have to do something about the voice lines changing the sound effects for when players get shot or die. Cause then everyone will sound like a chick when they get shot lol. For the person with the female voice lines at least.

A big one for me is not necessarily the color or style but size of the character model.

Some of the models look like emaciated holocaust victims (which makes sense since we are fighting for scraps of cat food) but they look ridiculous, especially with bigger armor.

I love the look of the first two SAS outfits because they look filled in while the the third outfit looks like a skinny boi.

the crafted level 10 helmet looks particularly goofy on either of the sas head pieces.

Yep mordhau style voice lines are the way to go, you can add a lot of character into them and it would be fun to try and have conversations yelling different voicelines. I personally don't want voip

Ok so, this post is actually super useful to the community @fallen widget . You should really keep this up so that people can see it and you and the team can use it as a reference.

#

There are gonna be a lot of good ideas posted into here

I don’t have an image to share but I do have an idea you can work off of and then use images to work on new things.
Keep it ww1 or ww2 in look. But everything needs a gas mask or some kind of breathing Apparatus. Things need to be tight fitting to the body on the body layer. We’re in space so pressure suits are the norm. But other than that or whatever people wear on top of those suits is really just ww1 or 2. Things shouldn’t be too restrictive in the confines of a space ship or station so it’ll mostly be practical.

weapon skins. not anything Mega flashy but stuff like having wrappings or other small things. no charms or animated skins but more muted colors or adding numbers. notches and other little things a soldier/marauder might actually add

rocky yacht
#

too add to that. let us but banners of sorts onto our larger ships and let NPC's have their own insignia to add some character to the world. make it feel a bit more personal too.

cosmetic skins for ships & maybe guns, but ideally nothing that alters visibility / silhouette of players / ships as they're very important in an FPS game to always be clear & easily identifiable. Maybe more voice lines, I'd love to see 'sprays' like tagging a wall

lunar pawn
#

I actually was thinking about sprays too.
I think it's such an infinitely expandable idea. Not only does it allow you to put in any sort of graphic or clever text you see fit, it also offers you the opportunity to feature community artists and creators, and monetization options for you as the developers but even maybe as a partnership with the artists involved.

#

@fallen widget I want to see all the baron helmets and hats from the concept art as well as the armors presented here that aren't already in the game.

#

But I think that falls under armor pieces...

-I think Ship liveries are a must & having the captain / crew name plastered on the side of the ship too adds that aspect of personality to the ship. Just general Decals (somewhat like elite dangerous)

-If not entire ship skins then nose arts would be a fantastic edition. Since the games dieselpunk theme, having some sick WWII dieselpunk-esk nose artpacks would be amazing, ideally make these skins big enough/visible enough/in the right place on the ship that the pilot can see them while flying the ship, nothing worse than a skin you can't see often. In my head, seeing a big mural of a kraken holding onto the front of a Heavy Frigate would be amazing, wouldn't mess with visual clarity that much.

-Non intrusive gun skins, ofc avoid changing gun models for skins (like Apex Legends does a lot)

  • Maybe armor stickers, avoid allowing reskinning armor items cause it messes with visual clarity but being able to add faction stickers to your chest/helmet would be sick, just avoid full recolors.

A few extra voice lines / goofy voice lines

-simple emotes like dark & darker style stuff, point, hands up, etc etc etc.

-progress outfits are always nice, more of what we already have is a great place to start for ingame earnable ones.

-Wall sprays for general silliness / [crewname] tags, would be sick to throw up a tag on a wall everyone can see during a raid.

-Stat trackers that could be physically displayed inside ships would be amazing IMO, like "Times breached" or "raids since last breached" or "gun kills" or "fire extinguishers used" etc etc etc.
Breaching onto someones ship and seeing a big stat tracker on the wall that says "TIMES BREACHED: 93" would be mildly intimidating

-cockpit accessories would be sick, little baubles & bobblehead type stuff the captain could put around the cockpit.

@fallen widget

#

That's me ideas for cosmetics. Personally, decals & ship nose art is up there on what I'd love to see. Stuff like attached image would make personalization fantastic.

I'd also love if the outposts had little characterizations but that wouldn't fit here.

#

Honestly Player made "Posters" basically sprays but a bit more befitting could be cool. you could have a set of premade ones on a wheel and then others that you could have added in through a mix mash of things or some sort of workshop created Poster you could slap around

these could be your sort of calling card and way to scare people who know what it means or a sort of code of "Where I've been" when playing with teammates

Skin IDEAS people

#

more "blue" skins the rest of the colors are represented pretty well

hasty current
#

Add more textures to the colors. Metallic/matte variants? I agree we have a limited amount of distinguishing colors. Maybe add muted purple and pink suits?

low oyster
#

What about ship skins? The rustbucket would look great in yellow or blue and for the interceptor frigate a yellow version with a big V on it to distinguish between the ones used by pirates and ones used by security personnel.

#

Or something like a chrome interceptor would be dope.

i think the best route for cosmetics is for them to take things like spray paint from csgo and use that as a main inspiration.
Really good and interesting artwork, possibly coming from the community. And make it usable in multiple ways. make it a spray you can put anywhere on your ship like how warthunder does decals, but also let us spray it in a raid like cs does, or on our armor.

# low oyster the having the same spray on your ship and pressure suit thing sounds sick as he...

basically you buy a spraypaint, or win a spraypaint from a crate, and you equip it and can spray it within the match to show off or creat distractions or.. all sorts of things.

Back in the day of css they let you upload and import any jpeg or gif as a spray, this obviously created alot of problems with nsfw stuff, so now they have it as carefully curated artwork from various artists and community members.

#

The idea is to basically take that, and improve on it to allow those same sprays to be used as cosmetics on everything, ships suits and walls.
This would save money on design costs hopefully, and also help with the upcoming clan systems for clan identifiers, and save the customer a few nickles and dimes by giving them value for their buck.

If they don't have to buy the same graphic for 3 different cosmetic applications, they are going to be more likely to buy other things too. rather than feel nickle and dimed at every corner to get a matching set.

I was thinking something on the lines on the Italian arditi or maybe the anzacs for some more KA stuff

fallen widget

Nice!

Just think something to differentiate lady marauders is needed. Games like Hunt, RB6, Apex, Cod all have a ton of female skins. I like the voice lines coming but maybe something visual would be good too.

finite viper
#

My ideas for faction cosmetics for KA it would be anzac inspired for CE maybe something like a imperial Russian army inspired outfit for UA I say the old French uniform inspired outfit

#

Oh and for pirates say maybe old stolen navy uniforms with 3 different versions for all 3 factions

# fallen widget literally are in VAC suits my brother

What Sandypeener is trying to say is he wants boob indented vac suits

Nah all jokes aside tho, generally in games where there are, (for the sake of distinction), male and female characters/clothing, the female variant is often preferred for they have a smaller hitbox and/or a smaller body. Less of a body = Less area to hit

remote flame
#

I don’t wanna sound sexist or say too much, maybe get a few women to chime in idk lmao. But what if we could have a very limited character customization where you pick from like 10 different pre set characters and they can have their helmets off like the traders. You wouldn’t see their face anywhere but the menu maybe in pre game screen when you are standing there waiting for queue.

#

Could be in the appearance tab you just pick the character type and voice lines right there.

Idk dude I’m just spit balling

#

Half the stuff I think probably doesn’t make sense lol.

lunar pawn
#

I really like the idea of sticking with one model.
It means cosmetics can be standard fit and that means way more time to develop more cool cosmetics.
But I also think we for sure need female voice lines, among other things that are voice line related.

remote flame
#

Yeah, mordhau level voice lines would be dope.

lunar pawn
#

I think the voice line system offers them a unique opportunity to in the future when the game gets more popular offer celebrity, or streamer voice packs, like some games have in the past.
@fallen widget

#

I think we need some space psycho cosmetics. Like dudes looking like they are straight out the gutter. And some psycho voice lines too. Like just a bunch of different grunts.

#

Being in space for 70 years with a bunch of meth probably ain’t too great for mental/physical health.

#

Add a shank skin for the hunting knife.

Tattered vac suits duct taped together. Bone armor. Weird shit.

Like I said in a previous post up above, I think fullskins aren't the best idea but stickers/decals/nose art could be one of the best ways to add zazza to your own ship

buoyant pewter
#

I personally don’t mind full color reskins on ships, who cares if it’s hard to tell the difference between a rustie and a scout? I think space shouldn’t feel so predictable. Sea of Thieves for example has ship types but with different colors. If that isn’t a satisfying answer then I would argue that they should make the rustie and scout different models, especially since their stats are different. You can keep the same interior like the interceptor and heavy frigate but the exterior should look different. I think it would look cool if the rust bucket was more ramshackle and lived up to its name

finite viper
#

Maybe a pirate admiral skin

German afro/afro German forces need representation

Also I wanna see more futuristic kinds of armors look a sort of "What could have been" type deal like for the UA they could use those suits of experimental US ww1 armor I remember the US support in battlefield 1 actually sported one of those helmets

In the writing and quests of marauders we know that workers and miners are treated like garbage and often revolt against their masters.

Alright so what about the predator’s mask? This is going to be apart of a map I suggest the predators mother ship obviously but it’s an in raid found cosmetic now I don’t want you to add the predators and all that even though that would be fucking sick but put all the bosses on this map because it’s an alien ship and everyone wants to know what it is and what’s going on and wants to be first to discover it and so on and so forth but put it behind a locked door but because it’s the predators make it so this door needs a certain sequence of symbols in the yautja language in order to unlock the door and get the mask. This quest/cosmetic could also be locked behind prestige

I mean some kind of lost city or some shit like a ubar or some kind of Atlantis MF thang as a raid location would be sick. Where you open an alien coffin or some shit and like get an ornate mask

There's no proper EVA-style suits in the game yet, so allow me to make a humble proposal:

The British Interplanetary Society Moon Suit

Pros:

  • Designed in 1939, fits with the game's dieselpunk aesthetic, made from cloth, metals, leather
  • Makes you look like a kickass space knight
  • Was theoretically feasible such that, aside from issues with radiation protection, it could have kept someone alive and safe on the moon
  • Adds an actual EVA suit to the game, not just a pressure suit
  • Shiny

Cons:

  • Actual design is a pretty funky shape, would probably have to be restructured to allow vests/helmets to fit over
