Where are the Colorful Rikti?

I know they exist. Rikti with uniforms and armor that are different from the standard. Ones with splashes of red, for instances. Or the Gunmen with more green on their armor than usual. I only ever see them on Mothership raids. Why don't these Rikti show up in normal missions more often and break up the monotony?

Well, the fact that they don't appear in old content kind of answers the question of why. It must be something they need to do by hand because it doesn't automatically proliferate, possibly on a mission-by-mission basis. Which is a lot of tedious work, so it hasn't happened.

They are generally found in the Midnighter Arc missions, the Cape mission and occasionally in non-newspaper and non-RWZ missions where Rikti appear.

In the i10 beta, they were the Rikti who showed up in invasions and the other kind were the ones on the mothership. Then they were switched around just before open beta.

Of course, it's a rule that no matter how ugly an alien species is that the females must be hawt!

In the AE they have rikti with red and black armor whose description states that "they are disguising themselves as Arachnos soldiers". Do those guys ever appear in game?

Don't think so. I remember catching them in the files back in the day and wondering what happened to them.

Also, I remember that Kelly Uqua's Rescue the Technicians mission uses the Gordon Freeman-esque orange with grey highlights Rikti.
