Thread: Anyone else think Rebel Recon armor needs a make-over?

Well as a Smuggler/Rifleman/Pistoleer my main character can only wear recon armor. And correct me if I'm mistaken, but the post-cu Rebel Recon armor is the same as pre-cu Rebel armor. And tbh, it looks kinda...well, let's just say it rhymes with gappy


I mean, look at Battle and Assault armor. Looks so high-tech you could watch satellite and cook three course meals. Then, look at the Recon armor. I'm not gonna even start on the tinman cone helmet, but it looks like you couldnt trust it to defend you from a group of ewok babies throwing empty coke cans at you.


So am I the only one who thinks this?

I have no problems with it. Prbly going to have someone throw one at me in rage, but I don't think the helmet looks that bad.

I think that of all the rebel faction armor, THIS is the most pointless to wear. Battle looks awesome, assault is really quite breath-taking.. recon is just retarded looking. Not worth paying faction to bio-link it.

Rebel Marine armor looks pretty good on MonCals and Sullustans. I agree the conehead helmet ain't exactly pretty on other species, but how many SWG helmets actually look good?


Personally, I think the Rebel Assault and Battle armors look totally out of place in Star Wars. The assault armor looks like a reject from HALO concept art, while the battle helmet looks nothing like what I'd expect the Rebellion to have.

They should redo marine armor into the armor the crew of the corvette in the opening sequence of episode four was wearing. I would love to have those pillbug helmets.

Technically, those are the Alderaanian Security uniforms. Now as for why many of the Rebel NPCs wear them, that's totally beyond me.


I'd love for that outfit to be a Rebel armor, though, as well as the ROTJ helmet that used to be a reward from the Rebel Themepark.

Pfff alderaanian security. Vader and his boys cut through them like butter.

Well, according to a certain princess, they're "peaceful" and "have no weapons."
