Recolor the xeno refitted security hardsuits

[Alberyk]

Being a tajaran or unathi officer is not easy when your fellow officers are prone to discharge their laser weapon against you because you are red or orange, like those pesky nuclear operatives.

For several persons, this;

 

 

Is really similiar to this;

 

 

So, to avoid friendly fire against those hardsuits, I do believe that changing their color to another scheme, maybe blue or black like the human ones are already, is a great idea. In a single nuclear round; I have been attacked by four different crew members just because my character was wearing a tajaran security hardsuit.

but then that takes away my ability to be actively unrobust by saying 'oh i found a sec officer out here' when caught Eva as an engineer

[Owen]

No, these colors need to be changed. I have also been shot while wearing the Tajara hardsuit. Blue and Black sounds good.

[Lady_of_Ravens]

Yeah, I've been confused by this before, too. Very annoying. It should be changed.

[Guest Marlon Phoenix]

I like the red colors. We should have blue as an option, but we should also keep the traditional colors.

Don't get me wrong, I like the colors but the Tajaran one looks very close to the Nuke Ops one. Especially if you are in low visibility. Choice would be nice though.

Blue hardsuits for bluesec. Period. Lets get it all themed.

[witchbells]

Can we have black hardsuits with color accents, like the ones for humans? Only replace the red with blue.

If we're going for uniformity, we'd have to either give them black with red accents like the security hardsuits, or change the security hardsuits to have blue accents to match the rest of security (Why the latter wasn't done in the first place is beyond me)

I say that now that sec is blue, having blue and black hardsuits would be cool. Overall a change in xeno sec hardsuits would be nice.

Working on this.

 

Cake's got some of his own in progress too, so we'll just have to wait and see which comes out better.

Changes since the screenshots were taken involve a few more blue accents on the Skrell suit.

I've been informed the Tajaran suit could use some tweaks too, so that'll end up with some more blue too.

I updated the in-hand sprite for the security helmet.

Refitted suits don't have in-hand sprites; recolouring things is more spriting than I've done in years, so I'm not sure I'm qualified to make them.

I like those, they look pretty decent and I like how you stuck with the same icons.

I like these, and think with the additional accent markings they'll be perfect. Uniform in style (Instead of some being black/red, some being all red), matches the new sec colors.

Oh, gosh, these are beautiful.

Can they have a little gold badge on them somewhere? I don't know if it would be the best idea, design-wise, but it could be neat.

Did a few tweaks to the catbeast suit after making this, should look a bit nicer.

Love it, but do you think you could replicate the "blue lamplight" effect for the other hardsuits? For consistencies sake.

[Vanagandr]

It's a much easier effect than the actual lights, sure.

AFAIK only nuke op suits and the human sec hardsuit have that glow, though.

Updated the screenshot for the catbeast suit; adjusted the shoulders for a bit more contrast and shape.

These look amazing, I think these colors fit really well and would be just fine, if not better than the current Human ones. (Humans also need a blue color added if I remember correctly)

Hardsuits look fine and unified, like these are made by one corporation for its own and only security forces. Through, I'd rather have blue accents a little darker, but it's really a matter of preference.

+1 or something

Engie hardsuit and plasma cutter are just the ticket for 'ling hunting.
