A design doc is in the works, just not fully completed yet. I’ll post it here when I’m done.

The design doc is up. It’s not exactly complete as I still need to work new sprites/palette changes into the mix. The pictures will remain up-to-date as the PR is worked on, so stay tuned.
I also plan on adding pictures with different kinds of customization to the document, just to show people that they can still personalize themselves.
The original post contains the link, but I’ll put it here for conveniences sake.

Thank you for taking the time to make a Design Doc. Where can I read it?

I think the design doc looks good. I like the note regarding the mess tech, when I wrote my first reply I was literally thinking of Frans’ updated mess tech sprites but couldn’t find them at the time. I also like the note about patches, I think if uniforms are going to be standardized there should be more available options for patches etc. Even the options in the character loadout are quite limited. That would also be great for certain shipside roles that don’t have natural access to them without bugging marines or req, MT for example.
All of the samples show uniforms with short sleeves. Are those rolled or are they just short sleeved?

The intended patches are the standard USCM shoulder patch along with your respective department’s patch, or, like I mentioned, a tweaked squad patch to fit with departments.
Rolled up to my personal preference. I think rolled sleeves look better, and most Colonial Marines you see will have their sleeves rolled up, it’s sort of a standard. They’ll probably still spawn in with rolled down sleeves but I’ve toyed with the idea of having them start rolled up.

Maybe print their department logo on the back of the uniform? Since patches are tiny in an already tiny pixel man, anyone that’s not pixel perfect eyesight will miss the patch (xeno mains *cough cough)

The CMP is wearing an operation uniform too? also how that applies to SOPs? like if i am an MP, can i change my normal uniform with an OPS one? if the armband is now an accessory?

You see, it’s very simple.
The new standard is the USCM uniform for enlisted, and the ops uniform for officers.
The CMP will wear the ops uniform, the warden and other MPs will wear the USCM uniform. That’s the new standard.

big fan of the design you bought and people can always just change here and there. What would MPs armor look like as well? I’d personally be a fan of them following your uniform design idea and using the MP shoulder pad or MP arm band. People saying customization is gone, departments already wear uniforms, this just looks like a nice update and fits the CM/Marine theme a lot more.

This is kind of a tossup. Nile wants me to port the PvE MP sprites and Arbs wants me to cut the shoulder pads off all of the MP armors.
So far as I can tell, all three MP roles have different variations of armor. Regular MPs get regular armor with shoulder pads, the warden gets regular armor without shoulder pads, and the CMP gets his special little armor as well. I’d love to standardize their armor across the board but that might not fly well.
I’m not certain what direction I’ll take it in right now.
