So, the character design dev(s) were releasing pictures of TR & VS headgears.

The TR had a sleek WWII inspired hat albeit with a large dopey eagle insignia :lol:

While the VS has a futuristic helmet that would also double for disco freaking in the shade :rofl:

Now it's the NC's soaring turn. What would it be? Ski goggles? Aviator cap? Beret? Bandana?

A couple of suggestions:

Hard hat with ski goggles:

aviator style cap with goggles

large face goggle with cap:

NC are essentially mercenaries, so it's really anything goes in terms of headgears.

Post your NC headwear suggestions :) Think cool :cool:

What VS helmet are you referring too the only empire to have concept art of new headgear was TR with the Commisar helm.

If your talking about the new Scifi helmet designs those are not the same thing.

No. Goggles belong to the TR. All the goggles.

I could see a kind of boonie cap, but the NC can't corner the market on CR5 berets.

Give me the old PS1 Cr5 Beret for the NC and I'll be in heaven.

oaky so I scoured the interwebz and came up with a few suggestions I think the NC will be okay with



This is a hat used by infiltrators to evade detection by the vanu

No one would ever suspect the hotdog guy as being a freedom fighter

I want to see that old tanker flat brim cap they had in PS1, that would be cool old school style. I bet they could make easy money off the nostalgia.

I like that helm. Also, nice touch to the gold throwback PS1 armor.

It's not like we've been the best targets since 2003 as NC. ;) The gold will protect us when we glow in the dark! But man do we look good in it. xD

The TR bug eye goggles jive with TRay's TR design principles/parameters: round, smooth, curvy.

A full face goggle doesn't. It does fit with NC's:

Angular sides, Hard edges on the face, boxy overall. As an example let me introduce a quintessential rebel:

Luke Skywalker at Hoth (Esamir): Beenie hat/cap with scarf and big face goggle that would fit nicely with NC schematics. :bouncy:

Luke Skywalker - Rebel

Anyway, MBroome1 (twitter) just release the amazing new NC military helmet. This is right before they got assaulted by the twinbarreled monstrosity of their Atwalkers (Prowlers) :bouncy:

NC should get Aviators and a Truckers hat.

Definitely not berets.

I would suggest boonie hats but I dont think they would look good with this game engine. Probably something along the line of Marine cap would be the best non-helmet choice.

Definitely berets
