[Feature Request] Uniforms for my employees

[BlackRain]

Why? Because I am tired of looking at a bunch of slobs lol. In all serious, it would be cool if you could choose from a few options pertaining to uniforms. When you recruit someone to join you, they would later switch to the uniform you chose. Would be cool, especially since most of my employees look like hipsters

[A5PECT]

It'd be nice to have a "default uniform" for NPCs that they don once they board a ship you own. Similar to the default ship paint setting in the empire menu.

Then on top that, being able to change an individual NPC's outfit through an option in their dialogue menu. (Of course, even better would be a dedicated menu to manage all employed NPCs, but that's another topic.)

Indeed, exactly what I am talking about. Would love to see my capital ships manned by crew all with the same uniform (male/female versions maybe?)

[ravisoul]

I love this idea and also was hoping for a mod that would go in this direction.

It's the same as the ship painter but for employees!

[mr.WHO]

I proposed something like that several times.

I'd love factions uniforms - some of Pilot NPC suits are seriously badass!

The faction uniform should consist of:
- two selectable colors (main and stripes)
- uniforms should have faction/player logo as insignia

[Kadatherion]

Seconded. It's the kind of feature that would probably have a very low priority for Egosoft, at least while there are much bigger things to fix/complete, but it would be very nice especially for us OCD players. Could at the very least see it as very appealing for modders, once we'll have the chance to mod the UI accordingly (having to do that via dialogue for each single crewmember would be a pain).

[Riccardoman]

That would be a very welcome addition

Plus a general overhaul of the wardrobe

Those hooded / t-shirts / rasta boys are pretty underwhelming tbh

what???? the all uniform spacegrannies just been kicked from the universe and you wanna dress them back as uniform spacegrannies? IF this ever happens please make it optional. current should be default and give them uniforms if you want. maybe have an option to set a default uniform for ships so if you hire someone to it he dresses up but if its left on default then stay as they are. I prefer 10 han solo-s over a 1000 stormtroopers let them be individuals please. I already recognise some of them by the look

It could be completely optional, just click default for keeping reg clothes and other options for uniforms

I add my vote to this. Be nice to be able to give them a nickname too.

Hopefully we will one day have a full design system allowing us to create our own avatar and uniform along with altering our team.

[ishmaeltheforsaken]

Yes please. I'm fine with my miners hanging about in t-shirts, but fighter pilots in suit/tie combos? No thank you.

[BlackRain]

The problem is, once you start getting big ships with lots of crew, it becomes ridiculously tedious to go around and look for proper looking crew, and if you do a mass recruit when buying or upgrading/equipping you have no clue who u get. It's absurd that my carrier is crewed by rastas, hipsters, racecar(spacecar) drivers, stormtroopers, people in tshirts, etc. The deck of my ship looks like a combined nascar/scifi convention/house party

[Wou]

To be fair you're a private employer, not some sort military or government organization. At least to a certain point in the game I guess.

But indeed, the bridges of my ships do not exactly look like a professional workplace

that is golden and sadly true

[Tanvaras]

My pilot of my go to ship wears basically a Tuxedo... Like what the hell do you were a Tux when flying a ship, but each to their own I suppose.

+1 on uniforms for your crew!

[Riccardoman]

Personally I think that there is still a usage for those hipster models

Non interactable NPCs or mission givers at station docks

[SamuraiProgrammer]

Tuxedo.... that is one swanky chauffeur

[Grimmrog]

I do guess thats some kind of stuff we might see in an DLC.

my company, my dresscode.

[Wou]

my company, my dresscode.

There's dresscode and there are uniforms.

Would be cool if you could introduce more militaristic uniforms later on in the game, say after you control a sector and your company slowly becomes more of a separate nation than just a company.
And while we're at it let's also have picking a name for that faction and a 3 letter acronym or whatever, and then having your properties automatically named with that.
