PPD Helmet Error

I'm pretty sure I can't be the only one who think this looks wrong/wierd;



Direct comparison of the PPD helmets on female and male default models.
The male helmet is sat way too far up and forward, making it look incredibly awkward and, how to put it...derpy.
It looks daft. How come it's still stuck this way?

Yeah. I've never liked the PPD helmet on my guys for exactly this reason.

It just sits funny, like how the Crab Spider armor kinda floats about the shoulders for VEATs, too.

I agree, the helmet looks very.. Special at that escewed angle, certainly not right if you try and make a PraePD character.

In fact, I've only found one use for it.

I've been able to use that helmet for the Steel Rook, as seen here:



But I more or less cheated by replacing the face with Robotic Something, which essentially melds the helmet to the back of the neck without making it look too odd. I've also made the Cranium FAR smaller in all directions, which seems to fix many of the issues.

All of that said, I would not be opposed to repositioning it so it doesn't make me look like Megamind when I first put it on.

Every time I use that helmet, I have to adjust the cranium scaling to make it look a little more normal. I really wish they'd fix it.

I've never used the helmet, because I thought it always looked goofy. Now I see why, it's not working the same way as on the female rig. If I played female toons, I'd use that helmet. But I will *never* use the male version as it is right now. Ugh.

If they tweak the scaling on the male version, I hope they keep that angle on the side vents and forward edge, as I prefer it to the female's.

It's the exact same angle. Just the entire helmet is sat wrong, so it looks different.

It's not "sat wrong" so much as the proportions are off on it. Like it's standard television ratio forced into widescreen. In any case, I like that the male helmet doesn't go all the way to the jawline, and I prefer the angles on it. The only thing I would change is trimming down the protusiveness of the brow/forehead.
