Im sure some cool things, perhaps a cooler looking helmet, or goggles for TR folk

OR, perhaps a pimp cane.

The great general surveyed the surrounding area taking in every small detail: wind direction, the amount of lose gravel on the road, the long gauntlet-type canyon. The air reeked of an ambush. Every goddamn inch of this trip had. But it was of little consequence. He turned to his trusted advisors, and waved his infamous cane at them.

"We can make it, men. By my pimp cane... we can make it."

Actually the secondary color appears more as you gain CEPs, not BEPs.

I fear the pimp cane....

CEPs add "polygon additions" to your character. BEPs change the armor's colour.

[Zarparchior]

Where did you hear that?

[Hamma]

We really dont know that for a fact. What we do know is here.

The devs said it.

i remember the devs stated that commanders get more advanced pauldron models the higher their CEP is.

(for those that don't know what a pauldron is, it's the armor that goes on your shoulder)

[Hamma]

Yea I suppose your right.

[Warborn]

I was thinking shoulder armor changes would be good too. Like the Stormtrooper from the Star Wars movie when they're in Mos Eisly (sp?).

[Zarparchior]

Other than that, the skins only change as you acquire Battle or Command ranks. The skin colors change as you increase in rank (at various specific levels) while the Commanders receive extra polygonal additions as they gain rank.

Dammit Hamma! Why did you add the "Battle" in there?! It used to just say Command ranks.

I should really get my eyes checked.
