@Akira-13 When you wear a hat made by CCP it makes you go bald, wearing a helmet made by CCP would rip out your finger and toenails. Or… Um…
Nevermind
I can just see them nerfing helmets.
“Capsuleer who choose to wear helmets purchased with plex will have the size of their heads reduced by 20% and their ships slowed due to visual impairment by 12%”.
Well, it’s not very squared.
But that involves work. It doesn’t go very well with CCP’s expectations of EVE being on autopilot.
I agree with the OP, and it’s obvious CCP doesn’t listen since this same topic has been brought up a few times in years past.
When CCP first implemented Apparel items, they did include a few different types of headwear besides the modern Caps and Berets that are currently flooding the game.
I mean trust me, I know that apparel is the least important thing in this game but at the same time its something that helps you connect to your character a bit and stand out some (even tho we all just play as a spaceship and mechanics and gameplay are a much bigger and important topic). But something so obvious as to have cool space helmets and armor for your avatar I think is a real missed opportunity for CCP.
Like I said they could just sell them on the cash shop and I am sure people would buy them up, I know I would.
good idea, if coupled to a new dog house

Guys guys we are getting way too ahead of our selves! Why do we want Helmets? When CCP can’t make our hair show when we wear a hat!?
But if our whole head is covered then we dont have to worry about hair, right?
I’m sure it would require a lot of time to code it into the various pose options of the character customization portrait screen, probably a lot more time than what CCP want’s to invest.
But yeah, having helmets, armor and weapons to fit on our characters would be very cool. Then their portraits could look something like this:
This would be so cool
Alena, I’m not sure what this image is trying to convey.
Trying to say CCP can’t keep our hair under the beret but he could do it, I guess.
Oh right right, if you wear the beret it makes you look like your head is shaved?
Correct.
I own a beret from my first day but without the hair I don’t like it.
I just want a bucket as head gear, that is all I’m asking. Will pay the 5 bucks I didn’t have to pay on my first death back in the day
Make Character Stand Out
Wear Trig Suite like any other normie.
Ok.
Contextually: when you are piloting (commanding) a ship you are in a pod: floating completely immersed in gloop with connections jacking your nervous system directly into the ship turning the ship into effectively an extension of your body.
You aren’t wearing a helmet. The clothing for your avatar is “what you would be wearing walking around a station”. It’d be like my walking around a shopping centre (mall) with a full face crash helmet or astronauts helmet on. Personally, I’ve generally slightly better fashion sense than that.
If you are after accurate “fresh from flying my ship” look what you want is “very basic disposable underwear with gloop dripping off your matted hair”. It would meet the make my character stand out objective.
