Vanguard Headgear Clipping

I just noticed this recently while fiddling around with costume ideas, and with the full costume becoming available at character inception (for most) in a matter of hours, I thought I would bring this up.

Has anyone else noticed that the Vanguard "eye shield" (for lack of a better word, you can't exactly call it "goggles") and the chin guard clip each other? Usually you don't see pieces from the same set doing that, but sure enough, there it is. Here is a pic of the NPC models, but the headgear is the same. You can see that the bottom of the eye piece cuts into the chin guard. Is this working as intended?

Something else I noticed was that VERY few "Detail 1" options work with the Vanguard hat. Most clip in some way (sides, top, etc.). Now, I don't expect some to work (for example, the Science Super Booster options, which technically go over the whole head), but things like the Praetorian Police visor or the Scanner, both of which cover a relatively small area, clip with the angles of the hat. I think these could use a fix up. Up until now, they were options that were only obtainable if someone put the time in to get the Vanguard merits. But now that it will be available to people account-wide from level 1, it warrants an examination.

I think it's WAI that the two VG pieces mesh together, and it looks fine to me personally. It makes it look more like a part of the whole helmet, rather than the seperate detail that the non-heavy armorued VG troops have.

And, really, it's not the worst culprit out there. A whole swathe of costume pieces clip, some of them much, much worse than others sadly.

It is far from the worst culprit out there, I completely agree. I just thought it was worth pointing out.

In my opinion the visor should be fully visible, since it seems as though they would function like Ironman's mask, rotating upward above the forehead when not in combat (hinging on the circular part of the hat that goes over the ear). Though, I definitely see what you are saying about it making it look like a full helmet. Plus, I'm not a huge fan of the visor's design anyway, so I don't use that much, and therefore this is more of a nit-picking argument than anything

Though, having said that, I do wish more of the other "Detail 1" options fit better with the hat.
