This post, is based on my older post (which is still neither accepted or denied... So yeah) about adding SOME Insulation to Helmets. Now, while this part, was often ridiculed in the post, one thing that people LIKED is the idea of combining the BEANIE with the HELMET, akin to well, any Real Life example, such as one below.
The idea behind that alternative was to allow a combination of both items in crafting (x1 Beanie + x1 Helmet in the menu), to turn them into well, as pictured above, a Beanie + Helmet combo, which would, let's say only give heavy cold insulation (and not extreme) but would add STYLE, UNIQUENESS, AND also some use, to Helmet, which outside S2RP, is basically useless.
Now, that's the one I mentioned, but it got me thinking... Why not allow for Rebels, to customize their helmets in other ways? I'm talking, paint / draw stuff on them, put a Paratrooper styled net, attach twigs and leaves, put bullet casings and cards or chess pieces under a belt around it, cigarettes, and SO ON. Now, most of these would not be SUPER costly, however, even if they were, I want them to be an option, that experienced rebels could make, to stand out themselves, and allow for more creativity, rather than just, have the option to WEAR the Helmet or not. Now, examples of what I mean and suggest:
Bullet Belt Helmet (+ Writing)
Crafting Recipe:
- x1 Helmet
- x3 Rounds of Ammunition (Any kind - The actual ammo you LOAD into the magazines)
- x2 Cloth Rags / x1 Stitched Cloth (For the "belt")
- x1 Scissors (Optional - For cutting up the cloth into the belt)
IF YOU WERE TO INCLUDE WRITING, you could add an option to "write" on the Helmet, by pressing RMB on it in the inventory. Now... I'm not sure if pen / pencil scripts exist, so maybe using charcoal to "draw" on it, could work (like how you can draw with charcoal irl).
Netted Helmet
Crafting Recipe:
- x1 Helmet
- x3 Cloth Rags (Materials for the "Net")
- x1 Scissors (To cut the cloth up)
- x1 Strong Adhesive (MAYBE - To attach it)
Netted Helmet with Additional Camouflage
Crafting Recipe:
- x1 Netted Helmet
- x3 Cloth Rags
Personal things Helmet (Aka. Random Bullshit Helmet)
Example Crafting Recipe for this one:
- x1 Helmet
- x2 Cloth Rags / x1 Stitched Cloth (For the "belt")
- x1 Unrefined Chemicals Bottle (For the little bottle)
- x1 Cigarette packette (Any kind, Makeshift or Union ones)
OR
Crafting Recipe for this another example:
- x1 Helmet
- x2 Cloth Rags / x1 Stitched Cloth (For the "belt")
- x1 Playing Cards (Was told by @Marco that playing cards exist, so uh yeah)
Helmet with leaves / twigs for camouflage (My 2nd favourite)
Crafting Recipe:
- x1 Helmet
- x2 Wooden Sticks
- x1 Wooden Chippings
- x1 Strong Adhesive (OPTIONAL - To attach them)
NOW would this change affect gameplay a whole ton? Aside from adding them and rendering, PROBABLY NOT. But it's not pure gameplay purpose I want them in (except maybe Beanie + Helmet), but because, of RP. Adding customization to the Rebels (which is somewhat lacking), by allowing them to customize their helmets to their liking, akin to both Real life Soldiers, or Fictional ones (Clone Armors / Helmets from Clone Wars). It would let players express themselves, while also being a purely optional option, for those who want to make the extra effort.
Eitherway, this post is long as is, so yeah.
