and Im imperial as well. I want to see less bigger helemts as well. These things are freakin' humoungus.
Too true!
I landed in Bestine the other day and there was a whole swarm of Imperial tadpoles swimming about. I screamed "Look out... Tusken Raiding Party!", they all looked round fast and snapped their necks. No wonder they're always grouchy. Poor lambs are all suffering from compressed spines.
Meanwhile, us durty rebs get to run about in our romper suits, with spill-catcher bib and all. Tell me, honestly, does my butt look big in this?
OK, serious tho. Yes to rebel flight helmets. Yes to rescaling the Imperial helmets. And give those poor freelancers a hat at least! Us 'military' types get the overalls and headgear, the civvies are left standing there with a bandolier???

I guess this is the reason... but they can get that chitin helmet to work with the transparent face/eye guard...
Hmmm...
Star Wars stuff = borked Dev stuff = works great
WHY!?

It should be given to Rebel pilots at Tier 1, just like us Imperial pilots get our helmets at Tier 1. (And yes I am an Imperial pilot fighting to get you guys your helmet!)
Don't make the Helmet a reward for some quest, don't make it a loot item, don't make it anything! Just give it as standard issue to all Rebel pilots at Tier 1. Make this game look and feel more like Star Wars by including common items like this as the norm and not the exception. (You Devs took the time to make (and FIX!) a Black Sun helmet - c'mon now, how about prioritizing things properly? Real Star Wars stuff first! THEN add in other items....)
'nuff said?
i'd like the movie model even if the glass wasn't transparent

Yeah, give us our damn, none face covering rebel helmet. Why the hell wasn't it included in the JTL launch?

I rather like the Ace helmet actually. But I also think that the non face covering model should be given as standard issue like the Imps. Or the other way around would be fine since there seem to be many who hate the face covering one.
While I'm here though, we also need the A-wing flightsuit, the Y-wing filightsuit, and the A-wing helmet too!
Oh yeah, add in all of the different styles of helmet too, lol! Or let us customize it like the Rebs did to their own helmets. (yeah I know I'm in heavy wish territory here, but it would be cool)

i like the idea of the "standard" rebel helmets. i think it'd be a cool idea if the helments were specific to the differant squadrons. because now theres no differance between the squadrons other than the missions that you do. it'd be neat if you could see which pilots belonged to which squadron just by lookig at their helmet

I'm going to guess time crunchon this one. Chitin helmets and the special edition sunglasses all have transparent textures, so they know how to do it. But they probably ran out of time to code it in, so I would think it will be added eventually as a faction gift or space quest item.
Hope they add it, Ace helmet looks weird.

This issue can't die we need to keep this post at the top of fourm, in beta we had a post around 1,400+ at least on this topic stickied to the top of the forums.I think a dev told us they were adding the helm and the post settled down fora while, but picked back up after we found out it was a master item only.
I don't want to sound like im complaining about the pilot trees but imperials are given a pilot suit and helm each non-craftable, freelancers are given a bandolier that acts as a backpack that is non-craftable. But rebels get a orange flightsuit that we could get from any tailor. Why not give us the dang helm already, put it in as a teir one reward and later give us a craftable version with a number of decal variations. Another thing you could do to stave are want for movie stuff would be the chest peice they wore, very easy to do just tke the tie fighter helm and slice off the helm and hoses give it a white texture and make it a necklace item your done.
Oh and what the heck is that black sun helm sapost to look like, it looks ugly to me. I wish they spent the time from making that peice of bantha poodoo on creating or fixing the rebel helm so the game looks more like the movie that its based off of.

I really dig the rebel Ace helmets (and as a Freelancer Ace I'm a little jealous! 
), but I agree that a "standard" model should be available at Tier-1. No mask, but the transparent visor would be nice.

In beta they told us that the Rebel helmet wasn't available because it didn't fit everyone as it wasn't enclosed. But somehow they managed to fit most of the races with the Endor helmet and that fugly Marine disaster??
