"Pack" costume detail?

Rucksacks/jetpacks/some weird looking thingies (like lump of cyborg/SP/clocwork/bio stuff on the back)... Jetpacks would work like wings, - special animation in the air, but no other effect, maybe unlockable together with their counterpart power. (So, jump-pack lookalike would be GvE item, pseudo-raptor after Atlas bank, etc...) The only problem as I see it would be replacing costume pack with the "real" version when jetpack power is activated and that they won't look good together with wings...

Wouldn't you classify this as a Back Detail, therefore you could only have the jetpack, and not wings?

The other problem could stop getting realased though.

Otherwise, /signed

/signed I'd love to be able to make a toon with the goldbricker pack as a cossie detail rather than a temporary power

I'm not a developer, so this is a pure out-of thin air speculation, but I suspect there's already special slot for 'packs, hidden from the editor, but available programmaticaly. Reclassifying/linking it with back detail can crreate more problems than solve.

Other posibility is that packs aren't costume at all and are handled like powers FX all the way... Well, then it's more difficult. Again, IANAD, this is pure speculation.

For what it's worth, I'd hope Crab Spiders are a hint of backpack costume parts coming soon to regular ATs as well. Possible even jetpacks and the like.

Though, likely not anytime soon, considering the Crab packs are already buggy, themselves...

Are they? How so? I know they had that horrible bug with the Bane packs, but not the Crab ones...?

The backpack grows huge when you customize it, and the little lower legs are no longer clasped around your breastplate due to size mismatching.

And add the sky raiders, and longbow packs as well.
