Freedom, New Costume Slots & VEATs

I saw with the new info about Freedom, that we'll be able to unlock up to 10 costume slots for our characters. This is a Very Good Thing(tm) in my book.

However, how will this effect VEAT characters. Specifically, will Widows/Soldiers finally be able to make more than one costume with access to the VEAT-only costume pieces?

They already have the "uniform" slot. Currently, they can have 4 extra slots that let them use normal costume pieces (plus the Spider Arms for Crabs). After Freedom, I assume they will have 9 extra slots they can use normal costume pieces with.

Yea, I'm not keeping my hopes up too high, but I've heard some rumblings that the CC is getting tweaked a bit for I21/Freedom, so we can hope

^This. I'm assuming, until I see otherwise, that they are going to be keeping this upgrade as simple as possible. This means VEATs will keep their one "uniform" slot. Not really sure why additional costume slots for everyone would justify giving VEATs more "uniform" slots anyway.

VEATs never officially had more slots than anybody else - their first slot was their Uniform slot, with the other 4 "normal". Many of us running VEATs would love to have the option for extra Uniform slots, for RP reasons or simply as a matter of aesthetics (I've wanted a second slot for years so I could do a Helmet On/Off options for my Fortuna).

But yea, until we hear otherwise I am assuming the same that VEAT's won't get any more Uniform slots.

I'm not against the generic idea of VEATs getting more uniform slots. I just never thought getting these Paragon Market unlockable slots was going to do anything to "solve" that specific problem.

Maybe at some point they'll let VEATs choose whether any given costume slot is a "normal" one or a "uniform" one instead of having the first slot permanently hardwired that way. That would actually let VEATs have up to 10 or even no uniforms as desired.
