It would be interesting to have different varieties of Armor models (ie. different helmets, armors, kneepads, shoulder pads, visor etc etc) and be able to customize the color of your armor as well.
These features would obviously unlock as you "rank up" in the game by playing or getting achievements after doing some set of challenges or so. This feature would some what add more reason to play the game as players try to rank up to get some customization. This is just an opinion though so don't take it so seriously

I don't really care about hats, more about armor customization and color changes

The Devs have said that they will continue supporting NS2 with free content and patches post-release, so I wouldn't put it past them to include this kind of thing.
There is no reason to ruin a perfectly good game with a ranking/unlock system.
I think it <i>could</i> work, but only if the unlockables were entirely cosmetic. Yet at the same time I don't think it has a place in a game like this.
Also, this fence is hurting my bum.

I am glad I am not alone in thinking that....
On having different colors, having a bright orange and pink marine would be easily seen by every marine. I would keep the default colors personally, and would gladdly let my enemies be more visible.

Hopefully some bit of customization on the alien side, as well. We would want to keep it fairly constrained though, to fit within the existing look of the game.

This sounds reasonable.
or even better.....THE BABBLER KING CROWN!

Yeah I think that ready-room-only items would be fun and still not break the game as the ready room is always seen as a sort of party.

:D :D :D
None of the ideas floated for customisation involve anything that would break atmosphere.
As seen in the thread title "color customization" unless he was talking about slighting different shades of green then I think changing the armor color would likely break the atmosphere.
Yeah but there's no booze :( What kinda party is that? I propose a useable keg where RR players can get virtual-drunk!
It's not that big an issue to me, but I do like having the black armour, it's just nice to be able to recognise early adopters so you can give them some "virtual respect" in-game :-)

+1 hall i could see lire Armor look upgrade are logo and stripe of some sort. Color should remain thé same.
I'm not for or against an unlock system, as long as it stays purely aesthetic. You could have one for appearances, and unlock tiers. For example, the first tier allows you to pick faces(gender picking is done from the start), the second allows you to pick decals/insignia's...third is armor models and so forth. Make it so you have a limited number of points or point you gain each level, and can spend it on any unlocks you want within your achieved tiers(so 1 point allows you to pick ONE face once you've unlocked that tier, and another point allows you to pick one piece of armor once that's achieved). Don't make it a straight pre-determined progression system...give players choice. Maybe even scrap the tier system all together and simply give players points to spend every level, on something of their choosing, anything.
My two cents.
