    Isn't that more 90s?

    Y'know, thanks to comics artists being behind the times, Nightwing premiered in 1984 with a big disco collar. Nice going comics.

    That's only true for most of the first season, the characters really come into their own from around the midpoint of season 2 on.

    Come to think of it, those military vehicles don't see a lot of action, do they? They look to be very similar to the models used in Vanguard and Shadow Shard military areas, and I think the only time I've ever seen those actually fighting is when they're stationary, and have a Turret entity as their top half.
    ooh... Good point, I wouldn't mind punching the occasional tank.

    Could work for the, somewhat ignored, new Sutter TF as well. Granted, it's not as full-on Incarnate TF as Tin Mage or Apex but the Sutter TF has a strong connection to the invasion as well. Also, would give it a little more love, seeing as it was fairly overlooked as a lot of people were chasing the new trials.

    You say this like people didn't go crazy over costume recipes and use every style of wing and rocket boots when they were harder to get and use them regardless of whatever travel powers or general concept/theme they had appeared to have chosen for their characters already.

    If it's "rare", some people will jump on any bandwagon, ignoring if it actually fit their concept or not.

    That being said, I wouldn't mind a few other designs for "Incarnate" hood rather than just the set that we've seen so far.

    There's usually a ton of the recipes for cheap in the auction house. Plus, unlike most other recipes, it actually comes with a couple of styles of winged boots.

    ooh... Could use the Steam Jump's flying/jumping pose coupled with some sort of glowing talisman/amulet/tchotchke in the hand or maybe some sort of noticeably glowing amulet/necklace/legacy chain neck piece/other assorted bling on the chest during flight mode.

    : A dominator-tweaked version of Cybernetics (see above). Sort of a stun-heavy Super Strength, or the Devices of Assault. I know "Cybernetics" doesn't scream "ranged attacks", but those could be replaced by hefty debuffs (e.g. Surveillance) and build up-/power boost-type self-buffs.
    Ranged attack is easy, Hand lasers. We have eye beams, now put them either as palm or from the fists(think there's a rad version of this for X-ray eyes) or a little bit higher than the fists. Ta-da, ranged issue solved. Granted, they'd probably have to bulk out the Hand/fist/wrist lasers a tad, but it doesn't seem like it should be too hard to just swap in lasers for some of the other energy type effects, would it?

    IMO all jackets should be combined into one category, giving an additional sleeve option of none and all the shoulder pieces from the sleeveless versions.

    The same for robes/robes w/sleeves.
    gloves/hand options too, while you're asking.

    Pretty sure they've used one or two chest emblems and a body pattern from this thread before.

    Also, check out this thread over in the Screenshots forum to see what things people have made with it.

    Dude, how do you think you get to the point where you think Vader is? What you've typed is one of the types of people it takes to become Vader, and not just because it was shown, but because that's one path to take to end up somebody like Vader. The only thing you missed is the part where for all his control through fear and intimidation, he spends his entire time in the employ of somebody else and only considers taking over when he sees that there's somebody else there to help him to do it.

    Vader has always been a bit of a wimp too.

    The way they use Black Panther in the new Avengers cartoon has elicited more than a few Batman jokes by my brother and I while watching it too. Not that Black Panther is a Batman homage, but in the cartoon, with his vibranium claws/throwing weapons and martial arts prowess and his ability to sneak into the Avengers mansion during his first appearance and his constant showing up of Tony Stark, i can't help but think of him as the Avengers' Batman.

    But the point of Hyperion and Gladiator were to be Superman stand-ins. That's ballpark enough in my book.

    Also, how often do people say, 'Well, there's already a thread about that somewhere, why didn't you use the search function to read it?" See? Somebody listened.

    And vice versa, the magic pack's bolero on a male character could make for a really nice Emperor Ming the Merciless sort of look. And while I don't currently have any ideas for the short Victorian female jacket, I'm sure people would be able to figure out something interesting with it.
  19. Gorgeous pack, seriously.

    Hence why I'm suggesting that you do two version, like there is a Legacy and colourable version of various weapons. Make a non-colourable legacy version and a completely colourable version which takes both primary and secondary colours like all other colourable versions of weapons do.
    But yeah. The pistols could just as easily be recolored to look more like retro futuristic ray guns. And since we have swap ammo, these potential ray guns already have different possible effects. Fully Tintable versions of the pistols(and rifles) would be a welcome addition to the pack.
  20. I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have more than enough inf by the time you even need to start making IOs for yourself that they couldn't afford a handful of slightly overpriced mid-range common or uncommon salvage. Even if you aren't e-mailing yourself a small pile of inf to seed yourself to begin with and/or only playing and using the market casually.

    I bet they'd go to renting the books, but the per month would exceed the amount you would have originally bought the book for. Which, they totally do right now at a local student bookstore for the physical copy.
  23. It's not quite Carnival of Shadows, but have you seen what people have been making with the Steampunk pack yet?
