In SC almost all special armor/weapons eventually become lootable/discoverable in-game. But it is an entirely different animal anyway, since they are individual pieces of equipment rather than cosmetics. In Elite, there are three suits, no matter how you dress them. They are upgradable, sort of. The point is that most of the skins in this game are ridiculously cartoonish or flat out silly without really any options for players who want to take the aesthetic seriously. The other game was raised as a counter-example. You don't have to be a bear or a space kitty in SC. There are dozens of pieces of gear allowing hundreds of possible combinations. Some more serious options in this game would be nice.
I don't like any of the on-foot cosmetics.

I checked, you are right, these are available for the fight suits.
Man, chill out. I never said SC is better than ED...I'd rather buy a fully cooked regular bread than a fancy unbaked one
I just wanted to point out that there is a lot out there that FDev's artist could get inspiration from.

Is that the next year planned ED update for Valentine day?
I may buy one...
sc runs on cryengine that has been made (and remade) with eyecandy in mind. and was notoriously know for being a pain to run thanks to it (see "but can in run crysis" meme).Man, chill out. I never said SC is better than ED...I'd rather buy a fully cooked regular bread than a fancy unbaked one

elite runs on engine made for something completely different, handling vastly different amount of load, and yet still perfectly playable on an old office ntb with onboard graphics and 8gb of ram.
also was nice of you to previously mention the 1 bil of funding sc has that elite really doesnt...
and yet you think elites artists are slacking?
ok.
Well, by the time the final version of SC will be ready and fully playable, I'm pretty sure Nvidia will have released the rtx90xx series @ up to 5Ghz with 1TB of VRAM...so maybe they did the right thing? :'-D
I was just pointing that there is plenty of good designs out there to take inspiration from.
As for the picture of the SC ship I posted, I could not resist: it just reminded me of the Normandy...from which SC clearly took inspiration (and I won't blame them).
Also not sure that "Hey look, that other product is much worse!" is a valid argument. "We suck less!" is not much of a vision statement.
if you would reread the thread you would notice that i too posted in here about how some of the new cosmetics appeal to me
you wont make cobra look like cry
i was literally reacting to a post with screens from sc asking why doesnt elite look the same.
some people do indeed seem to froth at the mouth... smh
but thats not what i was responding to, never did i dispute that nor claim otherwise.
ok. good for you.
god forbid i asked a question i wanted an answer to.
any more reasonable responses or foam at mouth? (please dont)
Man. Now I want a space suit made of belts. Maybe with some skull ornaments
Jenna Ortega was rocking a dress made of rulers.
Same what I suggested for ship livery: There should be more in-lore outfits and brand names. I'd like to see a coverall with a 'Brewer Corp' logo on the back, a flight suit with Zorgon Peterson branding for the Mandalay, some sleek (and less bulky) combat suits, etc.. Yes to armour but not that medieval style stuff which looks very bulky and a definitive no to garish colour schemes.
