FA clothing

[Anonymous]

Hey guys here's a question I have.

I'd like to get your opinion on this.

I've been reading the city map guide lately and learning about all the locations and gangs.

It seems like all members of a gang have something in common to identify them as members of that gang.  Sometimes its a clothing style (leather jacket, etc) or a tattoo, or something like that.

I know the FAs are not a "gang" but a faction.  Who would be for having some kind of visual "feature" that would be common to all FA members ?

Of course there are pros and cons to this.

Pros: Other FA members can identify you more easily.
Cons: Enemies of the FAs can identify you more easily.

I think if we keep that "common feature" a secret, it might be a good thing.  Anyways, if someone really wants to go "incognito", there's always the spy abilities.

Of course, there's still a lot of things we don't know about the game.  As some mentioned, if your character has it's name and faction floating above his head, this might not be useful.

Also some people might want full freedom when creating their RSI.  I would see that more as a suggestion than an obligation.

Anyways let me know what you think.

it seems like a good idea. the main problem i see is spy's from other fractions using it to enter our inner circle, and try to destroy us from whithin

A load of people discussed having a tattoo, this way you get to choose your basic RSI, but you still show you're part of the clan.

We are a very secretetive clan, and I like it that way. Even if you can read faction status by rightclicking on someone or something like that..something common visual doesn't really fall in taste with me.

It gives a feel of showing off I think. Plus, as soon as people figured this out, we would have lots of people running around with just that clothing or tattoo or hat or whatever..

Possible "Counterproductive" in that way, but I'll go with "Not at all useful".


No offense .

I don't like it because I want to make my RSI the way I want it. Kinda ruins it if we all have to do something similar.

I'd put a tattoo on, as long as it was complelty covered by a shirt

Sorry, but I think that making people choose something to put on thier RSI is going to actually take away from the gaming expereince. One of the things MxO boasts so much about is the ability to freely choose from hundreds of clothing options. I think we wouldn't be doing ourselves and teh game any justice if we were to wear something to show our alliegiance. Sorry, but I'm going with not at all useful.

As a spy, I wish to melt into the background.

I want to wear whatever BP's are wearing... I think that we may stand out a little, and this may provoke attacks. I would suggest an optional clothing line, if we really want to show off (like 20 of us jacked in, all together).

Good point Orasu.

I kind of expected that most people wouldn't like that but I thought I'd throw the idea out there anyway :-)

It's true that the FAs are a secretive faction so I guess the less is known about us the better.

I wonder if we'll be able to change our RSIs during gamplay or if this is a thing you do only once at the beginning.

ihad a thought, i know it does not go with the rest of the forum's pattern, but there is a site where you can design your own t-shirts and get them printed,  http://buythet-shirt.com/index_1.asp  you can even put a logo you have designed on there, i was thinking we could all put our dog tags (those who have one.) on a t-shirt to advertise the site. What do you all think.

If there is a clan out there that does choose to hunt us, and they do become somewhat strong, they will find out how to identify us, and they will soon be able to pick us out of a crowd much quicker.

Other then that its an alright idea, maybe if its a tattoo on our shoulder, i'm not really up for wearing a big ass jacket that has an angel on the back.... wouldn't really want anything that interferes with the look i'm hoping to get in mxo.

[Anonymous]

Hells angels, yeah!


I think we would be able to change our clothing in the matrix. I expect the bodily appearance is something that will only be chosen once, in the beginning...except if there is some hacker/spy ability that allows a change of appearance.

I agree with this.  It wouldn't be as much fun if our appearance was chosen for us.  Plus I think enemies being able to easily identify us outweighs members being able to identify each other.

One thing I forgot to add is our members should know who is in FA.We aren't details or numbers, we are all people, and each one of us makes a difference.

Well, I can see both sides of the story here, and what I can say is this, it would look cool as hell in a clan battle if we were all uniformed. Perhaps we could just keep uniforms to times when we are all going to be meeting, such as a clan war. Or perhaps ships could have their own uniforms?
