I was bored at work (as usual!), and thinking about things that we tailors could make, that the bulk of players would desire, but would still allow us to be creative.

We all know that most combat types run around with full composite on, with maybe a BE'd undershirt and bandolier...

Well, what if we could make clothes that a player could put on over their armour? I'm sure this has been brought up before, but I haven't seen it here, so I figured I'd discuss. With the combat revamp, all armour is going to get 'nerfed'...so there will be no more 90% composite. Those 'uber l33t' kiddies will be looking for something to supplement their outfits...perhaps we can get some new schematics like cloaks, over coats, etc that could hide a person's armour, and give them SOME style in the process (although I'm sure they'd all want black anyways *sigh*). Maybe even put a SC and RFP slot into them to switch things up?

(I was reminded of this by a Marine coworker that also plays...he wears his bulletproof armour under his uniform, after all!)

The other thought I had is a revisit from several months ago...why can't we wear 'bodysuits' under armour? I mean, fleshwraps or a tactical skinsuit SHOULD fit as a first lair under anything...just like a dancer could wear a real leotard under other outfits, to make it easy to change backstage...

Thoughts on these? I'm sure the devs would toss out the over clothes, since they couldn't make them fit graphically, more's the pity...

many many many many times. But then again our list of things we want keeps getting longer and longer over time, since none of it is ever impelmented, and things like this tend to get forgotten. Specifically I've always thought that the spec-ops duster ought to go over armor, but oh well.

Bodysuits under armor is also a good one. I've actually seem people do this, well kinda. I forget exactly what the configuration was, but I've run into a couple of people that wore like maybe the helmet, jacket, and boots of the armor along with the body suit and it actually looked pretty good. Perhaps I'm thinking of the infiltrator leggings. I'll have to check this out. Anyhow, it gives a very slick, sleek, high-tech sort of look. Very cool.

Another random thought...

What if we could create an under shirt type object that could then be 'buffed' by doctors or smugglers. For example, we could create a 'bacta' suit, or a 'morphine drip vest', that could then be 'loaded' with doc buff packsor smuggler spices when the PLAYER wants to. It would have to be a limited use item, so as to create a useful market for us, as well as decreasing the insane doc lines at starports.

I'd forsee these buffs being longer duration but less powerful than the 'applied' buffs by docs, but would be quite desirable by many players who just want to 'get in the game' and not wait the 20 min lines.

So, this wouldn't be some new 'component', but an actual clothing item we could craft that would be desirable.

That's what I figured

But, I AM blonde, and losing my mind today...so doubly scatterbrained!
