Standard issue (not ace reward) rebel flight helmets :

Maybe i'm wrong, but it seems to me that if you were going to put them in, there's a high probability you would have already done so. So i figure there must be a reason why you haven't yet. I think alot of folks would just like the straight info about it so we can stop hoping for them one way or the other.

So here's my guesses:

1.) Ran into some sort of art/object rendering issues that made it a buggy item to work with? ( after all, the front side of the helmet renders a lense unlike the rebel ace helmet which was probably easier to render im guessing)

2.) Some sort of legal issue the prohbits the use of that item ingame?

3.) Just plain flat out ran out of time during development, and it got bumped down on the hot list?


Im just guessing, but all speculation aside, will we ever see Rebel flight helmets? If so, can you tell us why not?

As an aside suggestion:
Why not use the same model as the ace helmet, and just color scheme it differently like you guys did with the imperial standard issue / ace helmets?

One way or another, i think alot of people would like a flight helmet and not a swoop cap.

theyre ingame, you get it at master level.

but they got a mouthpeice

but some folks like this. i think, devs should remodel the helmet, with a seethrough lens like on a chitchin helm or on glasses. and you can drag n drop your helm on your trainer for a 1 time trade or somthin. just a thought. or be granted with the flightsuit

>>theyre ingame, you get it at master level.


No thats not it. Thats the Ace helmet. Im talking standard issue. In otherwords, when the alliance navy gives you your flight suit, it should have included a helmet.
Imperials get a helmet along with their flight suits.

All 3 professions get an ace helmet and a jacket.
Factioned professions get a flight suit + (helmet or nothing at all)
Theres something missing there, and its a standtard issue helmet
