Alpha MP redesign

Post by SecretStamos (Joshuu) » 17 Jul 2015, 21:38

With the Alpha, we're looking to overhaul the MPs to look a little more like soldiers than riot cops. Currently they look a little out of place on a military vessel with their bulky riot gear and ballistic masks.

Here's a concept of what the new MPs could look like (compared to a marine). I'm not completely sold on my design though.

Any recommendations/ideas?

Just change the jumpsuit,they should be using the same jumpsuit of the marines.
I like the new design of the MPs

Why should they use the same jumpsuits as marines? Command staff, research, and medical don't. The red makes it clearly identifiable that they're MPs.

I agree with Youbar on that and also Josh the sprites look amazing, so please add them :3

EDIT: Could we possibly have a MP armband?

Have marines wear the marine jumpsuit with a black armband, a black beret, and black body armor. The marine jumpsuit is much better but still needs to be identifiable like MPs normally are.

Could add an alternative to the beret, a helmet with red trim that says "MP" in white on the side.

+1. I like red for MPs.

If you would permaban a player, you owe it to him to look into his logs and hear his side of the story. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the player does not deserve to be banned.

I've been suggesting getting rid of riot suits for MPs even before colonial marines was hosted by Apop. FINALLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Maybe adding an white "MP" sign in the front?

To bridge the rift between MPs and Marines somewhat, I agree with issuing them with a standard Marine jumpsuit, as well as armor with MP on the front and back, and dark blue berets with a red badge.

Eh, i don't get the idea of giving them a marine jumpsuit ... The sprite Joshuu made was fine and could always be adjusted

+1 to the proposition about an "MP" helmet. It reminds me of the UN Peacekeepers' helmets.

I agree about the MP helmet and the MP armband. I also agree that MPs should get military jumpsuits. Besides a handful of distinguishing marks 99% of the time MPs look exactly like the regular troops other than MP plastered on them somewhere.

Source: Google Search Military Police. Notice how 99% of the MPs look like regular soldiers with the exception of having an MP armband or MP beret/helmet.
