Thread: Sign here if you feel ALL races should be able to wear the ace pilot rewards, this is just wrong!!!
None of the pilot rewards were very well done or thought out, let's run a list
Helmets: too many races can't wear them, and even if they distort one for your race, it looks stupid (ever seen a Mon Cal in a Reb or Freelance helmet? *shudder*)
Jackets: Either they are crappy colors that don't match with anything in the Tailor pallettes, have a horrible mesh that doesn't align with most hairstyles, gear, clothing, or all of the above.
Medals: the new medals don't align with the reward jackets, and disappear inside them.
Bandoliers: the fact that they gave Ithos and Wookiees a bando that holds items is nice. The fact that it's invisible under wookiee fur, or that it passes through an Itho's shoulder, not so good. Also the Freelance bando doesn't work with the Ace jacket.
Colors: it may be just me, but the colors on all these items just don't fit in with other garments ingame.
Yeah a lot of the problems are racist, but most of it is just poor rushed design. The fact that instead of making open faced helmets that work for everyone, they cheesed and made a close faced monstrosity that gives anyone who puts one on an entirely new pencil necked head, is a perfect indicator. Other races may not get these items, but look at them long and hard and tell me,do you really want them?
