Thread: Division Specific Insignias Fixing Master Jackets and Ship Paintjobs to reflect the concept

Awesome idea, I'd love to see this!
On a side note, it doesn't matter what condition the jackets are because you lose 1% or 5% condition when you die, anyways. So a 100 condition jacket will go down to 99 or 95, and a 10,000 condition jacket will go down to 9,900 or 9,500.
So why not just have the decay removed for these particular items? I've died problably a hundred times since I got my Mark of the Hero ring. It hasn't decayed at all! All non-replaceable items should have this feature. I'd wear more of the stuff that I collect from specific missions except for the fact that I really don't want it destroyed.

Hereis my Idea for Master Pilot customization of jackets and ships
PLEASE bump this if you Like it!
( I am using Neut as an example)
Since each pilot type has different factions (example Hutts, Corsec ect.) Each Jacket should have a different Badge.
Perhaps since the Hutts are Pirates and Mercs, they might sport a skull. Their ships may also be able to sport a skull, Like the Avatar I use here in the forums for example.
a) Jackets would be customized by the following.
1) You would have to have the original Pilot jacket.
2) You would need to complete a fun master level quest. The reward would be your division Badge.
3) You would then take both items to a tailor who would add a few other parts and combine them producing your new master Jacket. Also the jacket would be upgraded in durability from 100/100 to 10000/10000 (why once in a lifetime items are only given 100/100 is beyond me, just keeps folks from wearing em... and it's not like they have sockets or special abilities) Perhaps the upgrade would socket them?
Jacket design would remain the same, but would change color and badge would be shown, so say a Hutt Jacket would turn Black or Dark gray (but no more blue/gray - smack the artist for that one) and have a skull on the back. Corsec Jacket would change to Corsec colors and sport a corsec badge ect.
Rebels and Imps would have their own devision Jackets. So you could tell by the Jacket which division they mastered.
(Neutral helm could be taken to an armorsmith and have a neck added)
b) A quest would be available for division specific paint kits. These items would not be tradeable and could only be applied by a master of the correct division. Redeeding would remove the division paintjob.
Also, why are Neutral Pilot masters just Master Pilots?
We fought just as much.
How about at the very least giving us Freelance Ace titles?

Good idea. I think once in a life time items should not decay as no one can make you a replacement and you can't re-earn it.
Clothes can still be worn at 0/0, Tailors have been bugging this since launch.
I've got 4 TIE pilot suits, 4 Imp ace jackets, 4 TIE helmets, 4 TIE Ace Helmets, 5 bandoliers, 5 Freelance Jackets, 5 Freelance Ace Helmets, 4 Rebel Flight Suits, 4 Rebel Ace Jackets and 4 Rebel Ace helmets, don't tell me I can't re-earn them.
As for the idea, customization is always good.
