So, I gotta ask, what does this PR going to mean for the PR that re-adds most of the removed EPMC stuff that you removed without mentioning anything?

Oh yeah, I added all your changes into my PR too.

Swaps new Warden and Investigator sprites (look at the 2 pixels on the breast pocket of Investigator, that's taken from the old Warden sprites), fully removing the nice PMCG all-grey and blue Warden uniform I made just 2 weeks ago from existence

I made it another selectable alt outfit.

• Makes Security Officer and Investigator uniforms literally identical, except from two pixels on the breast pocket of Investigator (which is actually from the Warden uniform)
• Makes all Zavod Security uniforms all-brown
• Recolours Zavod Warden uniform alone to be this really really bright shade of red that seems to have been removed as a colour on all other Zavod Security uniforms
• None of these touch Idris at all, for whatever reason

Yes. I made these match Idris.

This isn't mentioned in the changelog or anything, but this includes the re-adding of EPMC items, except they've all been tweaked to be a weird halfway mishmash of the PMCG and EPMC palettes. Also, this doesn't allow for any of Medical to take EPMC uniforms, which is disappointing given the EPMC First Responder uniform was one of the most requested EPMC items.

I've made sure to use the same EPMC blue for PMCG, actually. I've added the FT again, too. However, the red had to be removed to prevent overlap with Zavodskoi.

The descriptions for all of the "surplus uniforms" are also extremely strange:

• The Zavod surplus (which is the old Zavod black sec uniform) is named "necropolis industries security uniform", described as "A depreciated design, the label on the tag still reads 'PROPERTY OF NECROPOLIS INDUSTRIES'. Nostalgic." This ties an alternately coloured uniform to a long-defunct lore entity while including a reference to the fact that this thread and other such feedback has led to it getting added.
• The "EPMC security uniform" says that it is "A uniform that has seemingly survived the corporate re-structuring of the Private Military Contracting Group, holding it gives you a sense of familiarity." This does not reference the fact that it's even from the EPMC at all, apart from the name, and to someone unfamiliar with the EPMC would just seem like a weirdly named rejected PMCG uniform.
• The surplus "idris security uniform" has the description "A scrapped uniform design for Idris security. Not wearing a tie is a benefit for some, you know." There's no outright lore issues here, but it's weird to call it 'scrapped' when it's clearly, like, still used, since someone's wearing it.

I just wanted to make reference to the old stuff. I'm sorry.

And finally, a miscellaneous holdover change, but the EPMC shoulder patch is still mislabelled as PMCG while sticking to the EPMC palette/aesthetic, while the new PMCG armband still isn't in the loadout.

Also, the EPMC ERT don't spawn with these EPMC uniforms and instead spawn with PMCG gear, which is really weird.

Fixed

Oh yeah, I added all your changes into my PR too.

So, let me see if I understood this sequence of events right:

1. You create the first Uniformity changes PR, which removes the EPMC items and renamed the existing ones into PMCG for... no apparent reason and no mention of said removal anywhere in the PR.
2. Memescopes and I put together an Eridani Items Re-additions PR to bring them back in
3. You put in the "Changes Required" in my PR
4. People argue against the "Changes Required" in my PR, one of which is a Human Lore Dev who pointed out those items were never supposed to have been removed in the first place
5. You create this NEW Uniform changes PR according to feedback ON THIS THREAD THAT SOMEONE ELSE CREATED, and not the Discord Thread you created in the SCC Personnel Terminal server. This new Uniform PR also says it adds in the EPMC security uniform
6. I ask what's this New Uniform PR is going to mean to the already existing PR that brings back the Eridani stuff
7. You copy the PR into yours instead of addressing any of the comments arguing against the "Changes Required" you put in the PR

Dude. What

Made number 5 even clearer with the fact someone else had to create this feedback thread

NexusCorp still under/misidentified in these latest PR changes.

Just because it's black doesn't mean it should be labeled Necropolis.

[Alberyk]

There are no NexusCorp, or other subsidiary, besides the eridani one, unique uniforms yet. They will have to use the generic PMC uniform for now.

[Doc]

If possible, I'd like to request the addition of the old Hephaestus jumpsuits as surplus uniforms, at least the engineering one, possibly the research one renamed for operations.
