Artemis Suit Backpack.

[Koma Pahu]

So I've just learned that upgrading your suit resets the cosmetics.

I was using a Maveric skin on all my suits from one of the premium packs but that option was taken away in patch 4, so thought I'd better check out the Artemis version.

Interestingly despite the Maveric and Dominator suits having customer colours on the backpack to suit the skins, the Artemis doesn't their backpacks are all white. I had a look through and found this applies to all the following suit packs:

RAIDER MARAUDER PACK
RAIDER REAVER PACK
MOTHERLODE PROSPECTOR PACK
MOTHERLODE BACKBLAST PACK
PLAINSMAN DRIFTER PACK
PLAINSMAN PEACEKEEPER PACK

I know there are bigger problems at the moment. But if they're going to prioritise shoulder decals, maybe they could also fix this? Or better still let us use the skins on whichever suit we like.

Let's look on the bright side, at least the (vibrant) flight suits are finally back.

I've not checked my flight suit for ages, as we can't set up multiple flight suits like we did in the old Holo-Me. It's too much hassle to change the entire outfit every time I want to use a different flight suit.

Ah right, I see what you mean. You can set up multiple loadouts with the flight suit, but you'd have to actually go into Suit Cosmetics to pick a different one. On that note, I'm most annoyed by the fact you can't permanently wear a helmet anymore either. And now in Update 5 the opaque helmet is finally back, but it's bugged and is still showing the translucent one.

You can set the permanent helmet in Holo-Me. It's a bit disjointed...

Last time I checked (at release), that option wasn't there anymore? But I also don't really want to go into Holo-Me, when I did that after release and loaded a different commander in Odyssey, it broke all three presets and left me with three default commanders in Horizons. Until I read somewhere that this has been fixed, I'm only touching Holo-Me in Horizons.

I have 3 saves set up in Holo-Me, one with a helmet, one with glasses and one without, but it's a faff to go in and out of there all the time.

I don't see why there's such a fuss (on Frontier's side) about restricting the undersuit cosmetics. It's not like I could fool someone by making a combat suit look like an exploration one, it would say Dominator on my nametag.

I'll take it one step further... This came up a lot while working on Rebuy Unlimited.

Give us the ability to choose which backpack and what colour we'd like as well as allowing us to unequip the backpack.

Rebuy Unlimited Episode 0.1 features two people in flight suits with clothing on standing and chatting in a settlement. Notice how they don't have backpacks? Yeah.. I used 3DMigoto to disable their shaders and make them invisible.

It would be nice if we had more customisation flexibility around backpacks. Cheers!

Fact is; Flight suit with clothing pieces looks rediculous with a massive backpack on. Completely ruins the look anywhere other than no-fire concourses.

The extra weapon is a bit of a giveaway too. At any meaningful distance, you can't tell the difference between my 3 suits from the front - unless you glimpse the white backpack - but you can see the extra weapon. My alt in Marauder get-up is almost indistinguishable even close up.

@Zac Cocken can you explain the problem?
