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?

Let's just a regular helmet with a life support unit attached so we don't all look like tards wearing bibs.

I like these ideas. One I would add would be new paint jobs for your master level helmet. Good suggestions and I like the fact that your ideas also add content to other profesisons.

This is similar to an idea I had where you could do mission to earn the Texture Kits not available to a pilot Normally. Certain Pirate ships have textures that can't be duplicated (scycks with a Flame job is most notable). But I love the idea of a Squadron Texture style, with a mission to earn it, or at least an NPC that will sell them in exchange for Prestige points.

Sounds great, if you still can find your post, repost it here in this thread and keep this thread alive. Also make sure you post it on the sticky new years issue thread that will only be open a few more days above

Good ideas, you got my vote. Id sport my privateer jacket with pride if it could be done like that.
Only problem is, how the heck do you get the devs to do it? Ive seen tons of good ideas on here that would make the game awsome but ive yet to see any of them ingame or even responed to by a dev.

Only way to do it, is keep the thread alive and get as many folks as you know to bump it. The more folks that do the better chance of it happening.
Also since it's not just a item change but has some quest aspects and involvement for a crafter, this makes it more content oriented... so it i think becomes more possible with content additions since they need more content for Masters that dont involve PVP. So why not add something fun that folks like?
Besides, if i was a Corsec... would I really sport the same jacket as a Hutt Pirate? What an insult!

good ideas.

I would LOVE to see some insignias on Tie fighters, not so much that it takes away from the over all uniformity that theempirelove so much, but an insignia on the Hatch of the ships maybe? DEFINATLY something on the Decimator. Those could easily sport a division insignia without losing the uniformity
