I've been seeing this more often in Galaxy since Going Rogue came down.

Not to nitpick, but kind of nitpicking: Hypertime is entirely the brainchild/fault of Mark Waid and Grant Morrison.

Seeing as you're in the City of universe, I'd go with a Longbow red, probably darkish like their spec-ops guys.

Vampires sorta fit your criteria. Lots of ways to do a vampire costume in-game.

Council Ascendants - something about their whole costume design, very cool.
Crey's Paragon Protectors - Look, super villains. I know, they're all supervillains, but before safeguard and mayhem missions, these guys were the only costume wearing supervillains in-game, barring Praetorians, which are only sorta supervillains.

Even a moderate amount of dumping all your invention salvage and big ticket recipes on the market will net you most, if not all, of the free slot unlocks.

Just sell everything for cheap.

I'm debating leaving the first build alone on my 50s and just using the second build as an opportunity to fiddle with inherent fitness. Other than that, I'll go on a case by case basis on whether or not a character needs a new build or can use the second build to see if inherent fitness is the thing for them. Particularly, in the case of my over lvl 32 characters where I only have to worry about adding the occasional standard IO or pick a new power. Already sitting on more inf than I need for most of the over 32s, that I could easily afford a standard IO rebuild out of pocket, and still have plenty to spare, without breaking the build that already works.

Have you considered the metallic skin with Lines pattern over the whole thing?

Hardly ever.

I get them about 3/4s right. But usually, what happens is that I'll see the color in-game daylight and something is now off from the character creator, so I'll push to 3 and VIP port to Pocket D, or in the old days run all the way to the north end of Steel Canyon or rough it out to Independence Port, to fiddle with colors to get things just about right. This is the stage when things get a bit tedious, as I run through very slight color variances, sometimes one or two shades from what I had picked initially. Or realize that I missed some element that filled out the costume.

But from there, there's the sudden realization x amount of levels in, where something would improve this character in some way, or while I'm playing another alt entirely, I'll see something on that character that would fit the new character more or better, sometimes resulting in the other alt getting a change or leaving it, and jumping over to the other server to get that option right while I still remember what the change that I had in mind was.

In one case, I kind of had a problem in that, everything that I seemed to do would result in me not liking the next costume over, so that one would get altered, which would lead to the previous one getting an alteration so that it meshes with the just altered one.

Then, you get into new booster packs. And the announcements of packs, that sometimes set the creative juices boiling and I'm off again to tweak some element with either new parts or parts inspired by the new parts.

Then, I hit 20, 30 or 40 and the dance begins again.
