Question: Will opaque helmets be returning in Odyssey?

The new suit cosmetics look awesome - I'm in love with the space cowboy outfit and the Pioneer sets, they both look gorgeous in different ways and even better together. However, I'm noticing that the option to turn my helmet opaque works only for the flight suit, and I was wondering if this was an intentional design change in Odyssey. If the opaque helmets simply haven't been rolled out yet for some reason, that's more than understandable given how fast FDev is pushing huge patches over the last few days.

If it is an intentional design choice, then I hope they reconsider at some point. I miss the old Remlok obsidian-looking helmet and I think that sleek black glass look on the currently-transparent parts of other helmets would look terrific and be a really easy way to add back a lot of aesthetic flavor to character design. Hell, half the reason I bought the Plainsman and Raider packs was to have a face-covering helmet, since my Commander's probably getting up to no good and doesn't want his face plastered all over station concourses as a wanted criminal.

I'm guessing it will be a paid cosmetic option?

Dunno, man.
 
So it seems that todays update fixed parts of the opaque helmets situation; the Remlok flight suit is no longer forcibly unequipping the helmet, but it still seems to be forced to be clear and there's still no opaque option in Holo-Me (my CMDR has an opaque helmet for the flight suit since i set one on her back in horizons, but it does not appear to be usable outside of holo-me).
 
I've seen this request a few times, I've noted it down.
Zac, the opaque helmets are back, thanks! I was sorta hoping there would be a similar option for the other transparent helmet visors, as that's what we wear on foot. Would this be possible? Also, because ask and you shall receive, what about the same option for ship cockpits to the degree of the Saud Kruger ships?

TYSM for reintroducing the opaque helmets, but they appear to be bugged out on the female CMDR model. They still show both as transparent for me. They work fine on the male CMDR so I'm assuming it's a bug.

If it's any consolation, it's still crap on the male model unless you're planning on wearing the flight suit all the time.
 
Please opaque, please.

Also Anyone figure out where to access the old shoulder decals? Like the pirate skull symbol one? They appear on my suit but no where in Holo Me or Suit Cosmetics do they appear.

Like I said, they don't appear in Suit Cosmetics.
Yeah, I've noticed that, as well. They seem to be missing and only rank emblems are now available. I assume this will get fixed at some point. Super low on the priorities list and understandably so.
