The idea doesn't look half bad, though looking at the Devs saying it will take a while to do so, i don't think it would be worth the wait. And by the time it is done, everyone would of forgotten that this existed. But it would be cool if it could be done quicker.

If we were to recieve top quality models and textures (we're very fussy) that didnt require to much work to clean up and export then they will definatly be considered, same with any new content submitted to us. New content is good but costs time, bucket loads of time that we dont have ourselves.

Maybe in the future I could try it...

Sly, in my honest opinion (though again I stress I dont speak for the team), I can't see it happening. It just sems to be extra code to add for no real advantage to either lore or gameplay.

Now there's a comment that I find quite good. Thanks Talon (but NO thanks for saying NO).

Anyway, what if someone made some models and put some skins or textures (not sure what you call 'em) and gave them to the Dev team? What if the models were really good? Would you include in the Mod if that happened?

At the end of the day it is a question of personal preference between the members of the dev team whether they want to include an asset in the mod, judgement calls are made on lore accuracy and actual need for an asset of that type in the mod. I just don't see enough if any of the dev team taking a liking to this design, and there isn't really a need for it either. Basically it is a very low priority and not really something we're looking at now, so I doubt this design will ever make it into the mod.

Most people don't comment because either the post got buried under something else (many just click the last post button rather than checking each section) or they just dont think the subject is worth commenting on.

Personally I'd say no. Looks pants.

That was a long winded Yes, explaining why its wouldn't be inaccurate to put them in the mod that is centered in the OT

Why on earth did no one comment at all? (That's unfair to those who did, but I still have to say it). This is what happens to most posts; people don't comment and there is never a definitive answer (even a "maybe in the future" is good). Discussions help!

I have to ask, Angel, was that a yes or a no?

The starwars universe is quite recursive in its uniforms. KOTR and TOR show unforms and armour styles that look very similar to OT stuff. This is to be expected as with tens of thousands of years of galactic history, the Alliance wants to dress like the republic soldiery while the Sith lords mould an empire reminicent of the past sith glories.

That and technology peaked out eons ago, so how your forces are armed/armoured is largely a function of what you are willing to spend.

My point being that the uniform style is likely older than sand. Including it in the mod wouldn't be a lore heresy, particularly as the mod treads ground the Movies didnt touch.

I remember seeing that armor waaay back in Star Wars Galaxies. Can't quite recall what it was called, though.

Imperials get all the new looks and stuff, I think it's the Rebels turn now. These Rebel Troopers are the coolest I've seen so far:

I was wondering if you would consider making them in the future. It might bring a bit more players if you posted it in the news. I think that we should have 1-2 kits with the visor and 2-3 kits without the visor. And a female model (most soldiers are guys and it makes them sad ).

P.S. It might be early New Republic Soldiers, but this mod has not always been lore accurate. And I absolutely wish they would be in the mod. They are just awesome.
