Lets praise suit customisation!

CMDR YV · May 19, 2021

So, I bought a Maveric suit, chose a loadout and klicked "Customise"... And WOW!

It turns out that you can swap helmet/torso/legs and all small details between ALL 3 default suits! Like now I wear a trusty Maveric with Dominator Torso and Artemis helm! It`s crazily cool!

Thank you, FDev for proper customization at last!

Can`t wait for same treatment for ship cosmetics!

No option to wear horizon clothing, when in stations/ship?

Works for me to put the coat on (It`s in Flight Suit customisation in Loadouts Menu), but my default and bought flight suit cosmetics are not showing as avaliable - it`s a bug. (I hope.

)

I was surprised when I saw this... didn't expect customization on this level

CMDR YV · May 19, 2021

Although I can`t find any option to choose that Black`n`Orange skin from pre-order announcement. Help?

There is a customisation option on your flight suit in the same place as the new suits. It crashed as I was investigating

Full release! Not BETA they said...

Why? Arx don't buy themselves. My only surprise is that EDO doesn't have microtransactions for dances . . . yet.

Hi guys!
My Artemis suit looks different than in alpha. There is no characteristic armor on the chest. It's just tight and smooth. Does anyone have the same? Do we have to choose this armor somewhere?

Thank you @Koma Pahu !

I was surprised by that as well! The icons need to change to the correct ones, but it's actually pretty awesome. And unexpected.

Whoa, really? How does that work, functionally? Can you control what tools you have available by mixing and matching parts? Give an arc cutter to a Dominator suit at the cost of a bit of durability (I’d assume tools are built into the arms), or is it purely cosmetic? I’m primarily an explorer (and currently 30,000 light years from the nearest place to buy suits, unfortunately). That kinda makes Artemis my go-to, but it’d be neat to mix some Maverick in. Looking forward to trying this out.

CMDR Maxus · May 20, 2021

I clicked that button, I wouldn't say "wow!" Seems to do nothing.

The tools are connected to the suit type still, but you can change all the suits to look different or if there's a specific look you like you can change all the suits to look exactly the same.

Ah, so it’s like what they did with armor in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey then. Same functionality, but you can make anything look like anything. That’s still cool. Would’ve liked to give other suits that cutter tool though.

At the moment, clicking customise does nothing for me (ie it doesn't work, is broken)

I suppose it stops people from taking the backpack from the Artemis, shields from the Dominator and the cutter from the Maverick and making the META suit to rule them all.

Figured there’d be tradeoffs. Maybe any piece removed from the Dominator set reduces your durability/increases recharge time, maybe tools are built into the arms, etc. Maybe the Artemis suit gives the best resistances against environmental extremes and any piece removed from it reduces those tolerances.

I think you might have to save a loadout before it lets you adjust the suit, you can also do it in the shop.

Possibly, but in my case I had all of it. Think it was just a bug, will try again later. Good to know for others though.

Separating suit customization from the Holo-Me editor was a good idea. But customization now seems to be global per suit type instead of specific to a loadout. And the "flat" and "vibrant" skin packs for the flight suit seem to have disappeared. I can only choose skins from the "systematic" pack that I purchased in Horizons. Can anyone confirm?

I've since learned that I need to save a loadout first, and then I can customise it.
That's why the customise button was not doing anything when I clicked on it.

Same here! Standard, Vibrant and my bought Contender flight suit skin-packs are missing...
Which seems to be a bug because my Twitch-reward purple flight suit is still equipable (Its the sole flight suit option for me ATM).

Flight jacket collection is showing up and is equipable as it should.
