I think I'm almost always for more costume parts, more so if they are already in the game.

Having suggested this on the General Forum already, I shall /sign it, not matter how ridiculous it looks.

More costume pieces always get a /signed from me, but telling from the designs of the 60s I could see why Arachnos eventually did their uniforms, those shoulder-pieces could poke an eye out!

Absolutely 100% signed, even if Widows don't get anything.
I love their look - Signed
Agreed, espeically if the parts can be mixed and matched with the current Arachnos items.

I've been saying since the first time I did that arc that we should get access to those pieces for our VEATs. /signed, baby! Let spiders get into the days of mojo!

Looks awesome and any costume addition is a good addition.
This single thing would get me to create a soldier VEAT.
A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!
as an addition to this suggestion, since only female widows can use butt capes, could the 1960's soldier gear be male only to give them something unique to use?
comments?

I would never consider purposefully restricting costume parts just for parity. That said, it appears all of the 60s Arachnos soldiers are male, so it would similarly take more work to convert the pieces to the female model just like it would to convert butt capes to men.|

Of course, as always, what would be done about Huge..?

huge would be considered male, although i wouldnt really care if they gave the 60's armor to female too, but it would give them something unique since the male widows dont get butt capes (or any type of cape for that matter)

The point was that the pieces would still have to be altered to fit a different model.

they wouldnt need to be altered that much, since they are just attachments on the outside of the costume and not pieces of the costume itself (like the helmet or the arm bracers, ect

As a graphics person who has dabbled in 3D modeling for game character models, altering to fit a different body type - even if it's as "similar" as Huge to Male - is harder than you think.

well you do got me there, i know nothing of 3D modeling (actually i hardly know anything about art in general lol)|

i know it would require adjusting, but since its a piece that attaches to the outside it shouldnt be as hard as rescaling body armor, but i know its more complicated than just "porting" it directly over
IMO, the "I don't just want something cool, I want [other group] to not get it" needs to stop. It's childish and spiteful.

Actually it's harder, since pieces that sit outside are subject to clipping while the base body parts (since they just replace what's already there instead of adding to it) are not.

i was merely suggesting the male only thing, since currently in-game only female widows get the waist capes (more commonly known as butt capes)|

i do NOT want to make my widow female to get a waist cape, but if thats how they are gonna leave it then they could do the same for soldiers by giving them a gender unique piece
in my OP i just suggested adding it for all soldiers, and i will add to that to include the waist capes for male widows
signed. I'd love them costumes for use.
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):
