We haven't recovered since Pyro. I hope Castra brings in a visual direction refresh, preferably back to some cool Sci-fi industrial, military and civilian styles.

I know we got the bones and horns gang sneak peek, but the Nyx planets still have plenty of potential for more grounded sci-fi visual/art. There are multiple new gangs and it sounds like a good amount of npc rework with starchitect

I want rugged militia frontiersmen for Nyx. Bones and junk is making me sick.

Careful, or we'll get the Minutemen from Fallout 4.

u/toastmantest 20h ago

savage but true. Cant believe they would bother selling the Michelin man armour this month

u/commonparadox rsi 20h ago

Yea. Not a fan of a lot of the armor. The clothing is just as bad and has that skinny jean euro chique angle like it was designed for a fashion show, not real life.

u/BastianHawk 18h ago

We got a lot of Star Wars and Mad Max, its time for some clean Star Trek clothing / armor / ship design imho.

u/Anomynus1 RSI Salvation 12h ago

Reall hope Castra brings some BSG style uniforms and clothes, plus some urban camo light armor and heavier marines armor/flight suits

u/Brepp space pally 15h ago

I would kill for bright, consistent, warm lighting and carpets in my Polaris like the big D.

u/Divinum_Fulmen 14h ago

Yeah, seeing the clean crisp uniform and suit designs in the Squadron trailers is such a stark contrast to what we're getting in Starcitizen

I want sci-fi neo-militarism as well as some cyberpunk looks again, please. Nine Tails new armor was a start for cyberpunk stuff, but I want more cool sci-fi stuff too. Oh and bring back helmets I can see my face in!

u/Akaradrin 20h ago

Current? The pirates are wearing bull skulls as helmets since 2018.

Personally, I'm not really into Fortnite-style skins, but it's totally fine for Cig to cater to all kinds of audiences. As long as SpongeBob isn't running past me, everything's fine.

outback set has been the best set with fashion potential theyve put into the PU in a minute, super versatile ratty trench coat core

u/Personal_Still106 15h ago

It's funny coz it's true.

Also sad :(

u/Intelligent-Elk7008 15h ago

It's a big universe with lots of styles.

Personally I want a more frontiersman looking gear. Aztalan is the closest I have found personally. Outback was also pretty good.

u/Nitrox909 18h ago

Thats too accurate haha

u/Different_Potato_504 20h ago

the trend for sure is thinking we all want to be stay puffed marshmallow man, the last two years all the armors got fatter and fatter, after the heavy armor came the fat radiation suits, then the super heavy armor, the next thing we'll see is the extra super duper heavy armor that also lets you roll sideways,

u/FluffyRam Think this subreddit has made me even stupider. 20h ago

This is closer to arc-raiders than star citizen.

u/Zelot2256 14h ago

Not the current shit ass mad max stuff.

u/Walltar 19h ago

On the other hand... there are so many old good looking armour that who cares about what new ones they do?

On the other hand... Really liking colour of the armour that is in the RSI bundle coupled with undersuit from orison event.

1

u/Asytra Twitch 19h ago

I’ve been using the blue one from the set and it looks amazing with the right undersuit.

u/ayy_ayy Avg Perseus Enjoyer 15h ago

my man, could i have an item list of whatchu wearing? looks veeeeery good

2

u/Walltar 15h ago

RSI Venture ‘Infrared’ Core, Arms, Legs (that is from current RSI bundle)
FBL-8u 'SecondWind' Undersuit (that is from orison event)
Arden-SL Helmet (you can buy that in Pyro stations)
Arden-SL ‘Archangel’ Backpack (that is probably looted, not sure)

1

u/radda20 6h ago

You can buy the Arden SL at Zephyr on Hurston, just saying.

u/Successful-Cell-5732 misc 19h ago

u/Snitte77 rsi 17h ago

Yeah, for some reason Power Ranger color schemes never fall out of fashion 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Rarely ever seen armor sets that I actually like in this game

2

u/Euphrosynevae worm 14h ago

I also wish backpacks weren’t so separated from armor. It looks really bizarre

2

u/hIGH_aND_mIGHTY 12h ago

Right, does anyone physics? Running around with a backpack attached high up between the shoulder blades and its just swinging like crazy when sprinting. 

1

u/Dhos_Dfaur 12h ago

latest evo nyx1 test had an interesting new heavy armor on some enemy npcs.

it is pretty grounded and has a worn off look. the only bad thing is glowing eyes on a helmet

1

u/Trivale 11h ago

That's honestly more variety than most games have.

u/TheFridgeNinja Hornet mk II 11h ago

First of all, La Parka is always a valid inspiration.

u/Robert_Spinoza 10h ago

This is so spot on...

1

u/lmbrjcksn 10h ago

Wait, there's a mariachi outfit?! What's the armor set name? ;)

u/PressFtoCutLeg "I'm tired, boss." 10h ago

Im not sure if its allowed to post leaked internal design documents in this sub...

u/actual_thereij 19h ago

The armor choices were so terrible back in late '24 that I generally just spermsuited and wore whatever I could loot goblin because

a) I was going to lose it anyway on death and

b) everything looked so terrible it didn't really matter what I wore.

It's looking like '27 will be my first opportunity to jump back in and I'm probably still going to just spermsuit (if that's even still an option). The armors are not very good looking.
