the nc as fremen warriors kind of fits the lore. and i would love to see something resembling the fremen suits from the old movie.

and get rid of the goggles and show the glowing nc-blue fremen eyes!

Interestingly...

There was a bit of controversy about the close similarities portrayed between the freemen to the Afghanistan freedom fighters during the war with Russia. House Harkonnen representing Communist Russia, House Atreides representing the US and the spice, that they are fighting for control over representing the Oil Fields.

Oh, and as long as we are pointing out the Star Wars Rebellion similarities with the NC, let me remind you of the standard NC Medic and Light Assault helmets again...

Keeping in with cosmetic news: currently on the PTS and you bet your last dollar I will be buying an NC set...

Edit: added TR and VS previews.

Pretty common imgaery for desert warriors. I really like it for indar and esamir.

It looks great - I want one yesterday.

Finally some NC headgear that looks cool.

lol Vanu have a fishbowl and they wonder why we call them fishheads.

NC one looks great, VS is good, not keen on the TR one nice red goggle design but the open face doesn't suit but that's no matter we got great ones in the last batch

In other news:

In conjunction with the helmet upgrades, SOE is also changing the NC capping music to this:

God damn that TR one is horrid!

Emperor Newt · 2013-05-12, 02:52 PM

The VS one actually looks pretty cool. Now I only hope they add some more/better infantry armor to the shop. Composite is nice but not what I would want to have on VS.
The new helmet design goes way more into that direction. More of that please.

Higby is a brave, brave man. Keeping me away from my commissar hat. Says I have insufficient funds, cheeky bastard.

Am I the only one who can't really tell which side any given infantryman is *on* anymore...? It seems like the money-making aspect of selling custom cosmetics has taken the original art design and flung it down and stomped all over it.

Yes its a real problem in fast moving CQC.

yep.

we need at least a reliable friend tagging. sometimes friends don´t get the little friend marker and since they are not blue, i shoot them.
please fix the friendmarkers and widen the area around your reticule where friends are marked. also every friend that is rendered, no matter the range, has to get the marker.

Imo, it's not the armor, it's the camo coverage. The camo is covering much of the body so it's a little harder to see the faction color highlights especially on reflexive moments

Exactly.

I'd easily pay 2000 SC for the ability to turn off camo.
