I really was annoyed after I got over the fact there was another Rebel hat in the game that this one looked nothing like the Helmets Luke, Wedge or the X-Wing and Y-Wing Pilots wore in the Classics. I'm also annoyed at the lack of respirator in the game too. Like that chap said, it'd be so easy to do.
Also, please give the flightsuit more detail! It looks like it was done in 5 minutes.
Hell, I'd choose the helmet and respirator alone over the crappy jackets.
And I agree, there should be flightsuit and helmet for every craft availiable.

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??-Zz
Not to mention the; chitten, bone, and mabari in addition to all the hats like the swoop helm ect..... These are all open faced headgear.

The Rebel flight helmets (like their fighters) are allowed to be customizedby the pilot. Typically, pilots will use generic paint schemes and helemts but a few (like Biggs) have customized helemts. The colored logos were supposed to depict squadron affiliation (like Navy squadron helemts). Funny thing was, Gold Squadron wore helemts with red logos and Red Squadron wore helemts with gold logos. So much for squadron identifiers. If standard issue helmets are given to new Rebel pilots with the prisoner jumpsuit, that would rock. We also should be able to receive andother helmet that (like comp armor helemts) have color customization as well as some decals to add. I for one would love to have ablack and yellowRebel helmet with the VF-84 Jolly Roger on it.

Make the Master Pilot helmet customizable, remove the blast shield mask and make it look right. That'll make it look right and be worth wearing.
Also, if we get the normal helmet with the jumpsuit put the Squadron you've joined logo on it.
And please, increase the detail with the flightsuit.

The thing I don't like about the Rebel Flight Suit is that it looks like it was painted on. The Flight Suit isn't clingy, it's actually a bit baggy. I have a Star Wars Unleashed Figurine of Luke Skywalker in Hoth Flight Outfit sitting on my desk right now. The Hoth outfit is not a complete flightsuit type of thing like a jumpsuit. There appears to be a seperate type of full-orange pocketed pants and a jacket. The clearly defining points to the Rebel outfitter are the respirator (?) assembly that is worn on the chest and the straps that hang down. One of the most distinguishing features... a holster... with apistol... please. In EQ2 it is apparent there are scabbards, when could holsters be implemented? It can be done by an SOE game... it's been proven.
As for the helmet... if they can do it with Chitin then there's not execuse that they can't do it for the Rebel and Privateer helmets. As for a respirator assembly, Tie fighter pilots have them... shouldn't be to much to transfer that over to Rebel and Privateer. Even if they made respirator a backpack item I'd be more then happy to sacrifice my 50 items of storage for that little bit more style and immersion into character.

I agree make the helmet look like the one from the movies, and make it a tier 1 reward. Imps get their helmet early why can rebels and privates? Also for the love of god change the privateer helmet. It looks like a motorcycle helmet on steroids. The rebel uniform is a joke as a "gift", I had a fighter flight suit months before JTL was released and mine has sockets in the suit.
Give us our helmet and some customiseable options, same for privateer.

I think Pilot Rewards should be increased as well, Rebels should get a proper detailed flightsuit and Helmet when they do tier 1, tier 2 you'll get the proper boots and gloves, tier 3 you'll get the respirator, tier 4 gives you the flight jacket you can wear over your flightsuit and the Ace Pilot Helmet for Mastering it.
Give the Privateers some love too, if they join RSF Give them the Pilot Uniform the Naboo Forces wore in Episode 1 and make up a nice looking CorSec uniform.

Cant say it enough - THEY SHOULD NOT BE LOOT! These are standard issue items and should be given at Tier 1. Period.
Rebel pilots should not have to kill 4000 meatlumps, night sisters, TIE fighters, or what have you to try and get lucky enough to "stumble" across one of these things.
Jeeez how retarded it that? Come on Devs use some common sense. Why would mobs have this stuff and not theRebel flight trainers? GAH!

Amen brother.
if they make any more helmets loot only items i may very well just quit this game, in my opinion the black sun helmet just looksugly.I could understand makingrebel flight helmets loot for a imperial pilots ONLY if we were given our flight helmets at the same time.
WHEN we get our helmets we should have a option like composite has now, which i heard wasnt ment to happen but oh well, where we could change the colors and textures on it with out a paint kit.
