I think it's regarding someone's suggestion that supergroups could be given an extra costume slot for a sort of SG uniform with rank and insignia on them.

It's only a suggestion though. I've heard nothing more about it.

ok, that i under stood, but what the hell does it have to do with a Roleplaying style change?

there's also SGs that already enforce uniforms, usually using the 3rd costume slot...

so, for RP, it makes no difference... unless it actually becomes an extra slot, then it's an other costume slot that can be used, and there for great for RP... but revolutionairy? Many make due with one.

I'm not so sure about that.

If I understand correctly, the OP is wanting pre-selected varying costumes for the different ranks in the SG. This is very nice, but - I can spot one major flaw in it:

One of the best features in CoH/V is the costume creator. A chance to create pretty much any outfit your imagination can produce. Most of the costumes are unique, with only a very few similar ones, and even less identical costumes.

The idea of having pre-selected costumes for other people seems a bit too much like WoW for my liking. Yes, you can choose your other costumes - but if you want to be in this SG, you have to look like everyone else of your rank in the SG. Ok for small groups of friends who like the concept idea, and don't mind looking like one another. Not so good for the vast majority.

In my humble opinion, that is.

The only time and place I can actually see this being appropriate is when your SG is a pre-defined concept (like the Imperial Rifles) where a uniform is part of that concept.

Otherwise you would have to make it REALLY obvious to people that "if you join our SG then when you're on SG business you MUST wear your SG uniform"; to which most people will generally say F.O.

If you want to have a set uniform for you SG then come up with a killer concept first. Now one will join an SG JUST based on the costumes...
