MP colour scheme change

Post by McRipfist » 26 Nov 2016, 22:18

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
The Red and black of NT security forces does not look good on a USCM Ship. I suggest we remove it in favour of light khaki and white uniforms.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
- a e s t h e t i c
- Would help with immersion
- It'd just be nice for something other than red and black to be our security force. Aurora-Station has nice blue and grey/black uniforms.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Sprite changes.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Change the sprites.

I would've suggested tan khaki but with modified armor and berets, but yeah. +1.

The problem is that the marines wear khacki and the MTs wear blue.

Give me more color schemes. I'm not opposed to changing it, but I need something better. The armor needs to contrast with their jumpsuit.

No neon-green/neon-yellow please.

Where are you from?
On May 17, 2016, a group of farmers dug up the diary of an ear of corn named Watson. Here are his entries.

Day 76:
They took Lawrence, dear god Lawrence... They ripped him off the stalk and smeared him in butter, just like Tyler and Jodie. They shipped him off to the popcorn factory...
I wonder what his wife will say.

Day 120: My brother says the VEGANS are protesting for more anti-meat bullshit. They want more of us to die. FUCKING HEATHENS.

Day 153: The ants are eating me from the inside out. They are popping out my kernels and taking them back to the nest. I feel them moving inside me. Julia says the pesticides will end our misery.

Day 300: Sweet Release. I can hear the planes flying over now. They are dropping the gas, it feels so good, sweet release-

-1, The MPs wear red for a reason. Their uniforms could even be called shirts. Red shirts. MPs are redshirts. I'm saying they die first when xenos come alongthere is no cargo crew.

I was going to say that. Marines and everyone else use Kakhis, they will be confused with everyone else.

I suggest a navy-blue suit since it's distinguishable enough, looks military and we are in a ship, it's NAVY blue after all ;) ;)

I also SERIOUSLY suggest a special MP helmet, something like this:

I mean, the MPs are the least redshirt bunch of the marines. If you want someone that goes by the book definition of "redshirt" is definetely the Standart, specially in the roundstart operations.

Why not this?

http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Military_Police

You could possibly change the white-ish pants to a darker color. Maybe a grey or black?

Change the green webbing to look a little more suited to police so instead of the green webbing you could do some reinforced armor plates that "slide" into the sides of the uniform. (Doesn't have to be a action, just a visual detail)

Keep the helmet.

A slimmer belt, maybe in a darker color as well (orange or red anyone?).

A (orange or red) armband.

That's a good idea as well. Infact it might be better than my own.

Just give one MP at the IB ERT. He will secure that the bears are going to take the bridge and drink vodka.
