Booster Pack Ideas

Space Opera:

Costume Pieces - Inspiration: Jedi and Minbari Robes, Stormtrooper Armor, Flight Suits
Custom Weapons - Beam Sabres can't do the even plasma blade of a lightsabre, but maybe something less flat than the vanguard pieces, Blasters

Feral:

Costume Pieces: New tails, fur-hats/tunics for those Kraven types
Animation Themes: Finger Claws
Custom Weapons: "Primitive" weapons: Bone Swords/Bone Axes

Victorian:

Costume Pieces: Inspiration - Sherlock Holmes, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen,
Custom Weapons: Sword Canes, Early Revolvers

Western:

Costume Pieces: Ponchos, boots + spurs, leather vests, dusters (new style trenchcoat), Native American themes
Custom Weapons: early revolvers, winchester rifles, cavalry sabres, bowie knife, tomahawk

War:

Costume Pieces: more military pieces
Custom Weapons: Browning Assault Rifle, Tommy Gun as seen in WWII movies (clip rather than drum), Bayonets

Renaissance:

Costume Pieces: Three Musketeers, Count of Monte Cristo
Custom Weapons: Flintlocks, more variations of rapiers and sabres, epees, more daggers, some fancier historical axes



Personally, I have characters I want to have both a bayonet (WWI era) and a Bowie Knife, and I've long been irritated at the lack of brush-style tails which can be used to reproduce a large number of animals.

Any particular reason this could not have been added to the other thread in this forum called "Booster Pack Ideas?"?

The one that had its most recent post at 5:59 p.m. today and so was relatively freshly cycled to the top?

Thought it was about one specific idea based on the OP...

Ah - by the time you get to the end of the thread, people are throwing out their own ideas.

I'd rather not have the devs give Lucas a reason to sic his lawyers on them.

i was thinking the same thing, i knew something like that would never happen (unless they somehow got permission which would be kinda hilarious if they added star wars themed stuff to the game)

I also included Minbari.

I wasn't saying copy, just inspired. I could just as easily say "vaguely feudal Japanese themed layered robes" and it would work for both, but the picture given would have been different.

OH! You just reminded me of the other space opera I was trying to think of:

Flash Gordon

interesting space-civilization clothing there (again inspired by Asian themes with a unique touch to them)

Steampunk Booster. That is all.

Space Opera isn't Bab5 and Star Wars (you whippersnapper). Space suits with fishbowl helmets, ray guns, and the Lens of Arisia (OK, that last would be a bit of a gamebreaker).

Renaissance: I'd be all for the one you describe (even though Dumas' novels are set well after the Renaissance - Count of Monte Cristo is post-Napoleonic, come to that) but would call it Swashbuckler. My dual blade Cyrano character would love a good hat with, of course, his white plume. I wouldn't mind a Renaissance costume set either: doublets, swept hilt rapiers, etc.


My scrapper doesn't need an AoE. She IS an AoE.

Space Opera, to me, are those space/future set stories that are just as much fantasy as sci-fi, if not more so, granted Babylon 5 doesn't match that really (pretty firmly sci-fi) but Star Wars certainly does.

Yeah, but I have no idea what that is, and couldn't be bothered to look it up, so didn't bother including it.

Hmm, the Prussian style outfits of the Centauri and the Narn outfits (not sure what they're based on) are pretty interesting too....not even considering the Vorlon encounter suits
