Nice!  So I have a character, (archery/tactical arrow blaster), that I'm really liking.  She's a former member of the Malta Operatives.  I have about 5 costumes for her already, and they all follow the general theme of starting off in full Malta-inspired military gear, and slowly moving toward more civilian-styled clothes, (so first costume has the helmet, goggles, a breather mask, flak jacket, etc, 2nd drops the helmet and flak jacket, etc).  She uses a jetpack, (the more compact one with "wings" that fold up when not flying), so I want keep that, and she obviously uses a bow.  I'd love to see some other folks' interpretations!  I'm not at my computer ATM, but I'll try to post some screenshots if I can, for reference...

 

Edit:  Here are a few screenshots, from most armored to most casual:

Cool! I don't really know what your character looks like, but I kinda imagined Lara Croft, but in the Army. Here's a casual look that she might wear to the supermarket!

What's the logo for the Malta Operatives? I'm not sure, so I went for a glowing green fingerprint. To quote the official City of Heroes website:

 

"Rarely seen, those who know of them detect their fingerprints staining the headlines with frightening regularity. Young heroes may never encounter these forces directly, but paranoid government analysts and conspiracy experts believe the Malta Group’s machinations are ubiquitous."

Center: Pictured with compound bow with laser sight

 

Bottom: It was listed as a jet pack. I'm taking the game's word for it!

 

Thanks so much for the request! I don't usually make military characters, so it was lots of fun!

 

Last but not least, here's the costume file!

QueenBethari, since she's no longer with Malta, I just use one of the star logos, (you can kinda see it in my screenshots).  Those are great, though!  Thank you so much!

 

Update:  Here is a costume that is both a bit more armored while also being a little more risque, as well as a shot of the back:

Ooh!  I like that shirt!  Those jeans look great, too!  May be a nice "off duty" outfit!  Thanks!

 

Question:  Can you put the rocket boots on with those jeans?  Oh, and I'm using the cupid bow atm.  Still, really really nice!

 

Update:  Here is a "QueenBethari inspired" costume I came up with.  I feel this character would stay a bit more tactical, even while off duty:

OK I'll bite.

 

My Plant/Storm controller is named "I am Root". get the idea?

 

I'm pretty OK with what I did below (mostly based on the "organic armor" set), but I don't like the glossy texture of the main body. I can't seem to figure out a better way, so if anyone has a disruptive idea, I'm all ears.

Very nice!  Here's my take on "I am Root":

thanks to your inspiration I ended up with a more refined version of my original, by picking some of the elements I like from yours. thanks!

Still wish the main body wasn't shiny under certain lighting conditions, as shown below.

I totally get it! It's so hard to get a woody texture if everything's shiny. I feel the same way about the shadows on the pencil skirts.

Why does it have to cling there? It isn't even that tight!

 

I'm so glad @biostem could help you out. Your character looks good.

I really need help
Back during the original game just as City of villains was released a few of us made an SG called Cylon Invasion force, but alas I can not remember the costume pieces we had

We based them on the Original Battlestar Galactica 1978 TV series.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if this is what you were looking for, but I hope it's close.

not my costume request, so you should wait to hear from the original requester, but I knolw that's where my mind went when I read the request, and I went "there is a visor accessory, and respirator filter thingy that might be a good starting point, I wonder if eye aura could somwhate approximate the light scanning back on forth in the original visor".

Gotcha.

@Soldier-7Here's a (rough) Cylon Centurion costume, just in case:

Cylon.PNG.7eacfa1c53fc0406036725643cdc9b8c.PNG

You might not be able to tell here, but this costume uses one of the Fire and Ice faces. The visor should glow and fade in and out.

Love the idea of this thread! 😀

 

I could definitely use some help designing a costume for my next alt.  I'm planning on rolling him as a Street Justice scrapper.  Secondary will either be SR or NIN.   He is a brilliant design engineer in "real life", so I'm thinking tech-based body armor suit of some kind.  In my head I picture him as having a Space Ghost-ish type mask/cowland body armor along the lines of the Nolan/Bale Batman - something along these lines.  I was trying different variations to try and get a trio of darker tones (black/grey/dark blue or dark red) mixed together but couldn't get one that I liked.  Haven't decided if he will have a cape or not yet. 

 

Perhaps one of you talented folk can help design something?  Appreciate any help!  Thanks 😀

My screenshot-taking abilities have failed me so one image is dull and the other is washed out. 😕

Attached the costume file so you can get a better look.

Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds. Looking for modified whole powerset sfx?

Check out Michiyo's modder or Solerverse's thread.  Got a punny character? You should share it.
