Different uniforms???

[Psyklone]

I've noticed that a lot of the PSU screen shots show Terrans running around in different uniforms. I'm not talking different armor, or command rank armor either. Maybe its just a coloring scheme, but can you customize how your armor looks?
(ie Chest plate red, grey, black)
This might be a totally basic question, but I'm just wondering.

[RandoMTerroR]

I think u can only customize ur skin color and gender...

Rest is based on armor type, command rank, and other ranks...

Thats what i think anyway...



Or maybe u just found some old pics ;)

[Psyklone]

No they're off the new beta shots at PSU.

Here's an example....
Check out the helmets. I know its small, but I just thought I'd bring it up...

Well, there are two types of ranks in PS, theres battle ranks and command ranks, maybe the guy with the black helm is a high ranking officer with a high command rank and the others are just enlisted guys with little command rank. Just a guess.

[Peacemaker]

Diffrent ranks bud. A high rank = shiny pretty armour that makes a big tempting target for anyone looking for high BEPs.

Your colours sort of rotate as you gain battle ranks.

EG NC peeps get progressively more yellow as they rank up, and become lil walking talking Pikachu's

[Psyklone]

Hey that's cool. I didn't know you change as you gain in battle ranks. Thanks for the info.
Little pikas? Another reason not to be NC!
:p

Would it Change with CEP because im going to be focusing on Commanding more than getting BEP, well more BEP in the beggining for certs.

so will it change with CEP?

[Mydis]

It looks like they are changing too fast to me. Its only been a few months of beta and you see more high rank color than low in the screenshots.

[DarkDragon00]

The beta testing lets them have multiple battle ranks when they come in so that they can test more of the certs and stuu, its been mentioned before i just cant find it. Hamma posted it though!

Darksim you get addons for gaining CEP, like a shin pad, shoulder pads and a ghey looking neck brace.

You get bits at each command rank.

At command level 5 you get a bit phat target on your head with a SHOOT ME sign.

[Terik]

You get cool looking pauldrons too. :)

they recently wiped the server and started everyone at BR20 hence EVERYONE you see has the secondary color scheme on their uniforms

Does that mean that a higher rank person will give more BEPs than a low ranking person? And if so, does that count for command rank or battle rank too?

[RandoMTerroR]

I dont think ppl with higher rank would give more BEP... But its still a good bargain to shoot their leader first, coz he's properly the most experienced, and also the one dealing out the orders...
He cant do that when hes got his head filled with plasma, now can he ;)

[Darksim]

you get more xp for killing someone of higher BEP like if a BEP 1 kills a BEP 20 then he is in for some BEP PAYOUT...hmmmm i just heard the word power leveling dance in my head

[Ouroboros]

You get different BEP based on their armor type(infiltration gives the least, MAXs give the most, vehicles and such gives different BEP, too), I do not believe you get more for their battlerank.

Since it would take most people three month to get to BR20, and if you do get more BEP for higher BR kills, then someone could start a new character after a month or so, and get to BR20 in like one month. This is why I seriously doubt that different BR would give different BEP.

Are you sure they are pauldrons? Mighten't they be spaulders? ;)

[Hamma]

You cannot customize your armor, only your voice and face.

What you are seeing are the different color variations for different battle ranks. Also, the command armor addons such as shinpads, elbow pads, and teh infamous "neck brace"

There are also some polygonal changes for BR as well, but not as many, and not as noticeable.

[Darksim]

well im being a commander :)

cmon theres gottab e more CEP Perks, Gimme! :o

[Hamma]

Sure there are. You get a nifty command tool that does some neato stuff. ;)
