Change the armor on LV-246 AKA The Jungle Map.

Post by DeadLantern » 05 Aug 2016, 14:40

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Change the white Marine armor to a flecktarn jungle green.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Immersion because you aren't going to bring polished white armor to a jungle planet. You are going to bring jungle camo.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Replace the existing armor on LV-246 with jungle camouflage, similar as how the Ice Colony armor is very white.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Spriting.

No, it's just a very light green. Not very good camouflage. By flecktarn I mean like this: https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/imag ... gy9gt7zERG

Of course it's low priority, but MUH immersion.

The armor used on LV-246 is the standard colors. The jungle isn't so much pure jungle as it is an urban colony settlement.

I made a whole new cast of armor sets for the Ice Colony since the current uniforms wouldn't work at all in a ice setting. It's been a lot of extra work for me make all the alternative sets, especially when you consider the issue of the weapons needing to match the armor, armor variations and specialty sets. And because LV 624 is our "standard" map, I'd prefer to use our standard uniforms there.

It's entirely possible we could get another uniform conversation with a new map, but it would have to be in an environment where standard uniform is outright inappropriate.

Joshuu's the head art guy, so that's the bottom line. Denied for now.
