New Pilot Proposal: Alliance Duty Pilot

[PArmstr (Patricia Armstrong-Krauss)]

As far as I know, we have to describe items as well as we can. Are not supposed to say stuff like RFT helmet in the Fleet Officer CS or Rogue One Jyn Erso or Cassian Andor boot in this one. The CS has to be written in a way that does not require looking up other CS.

I would love to keep the X-Wing helmet in this CS and your statement about military helicopter pilots make a lot of sense to me. I am unsure if the Rebel Legion Charter will allow it if the NPCs do not wear helmets. I wished that a pilot LCJ, DCO, or DXO would comment on this thread.

The pilot boots have some similarities with Cassian Andor's and Jyn Erso's boots because of the leather flap and buckle but they are not the same. Those boots are based on Frye “Sutton Tall” boots. It is a combat boot with laces that is kind of wide in the foot but gets narrower at the ankle. The pilot boots stay the same width similar to commuter boots or short engineer boots.

The frye boot looks like old combat boots from decades ago. I checked the sizes. Maybe when I was younger I could wear boots that size but my feet are much bigger now, so thats out. But with the flap covering the laces, it would be a starting point for someone with normal feet.

when i was seeing a podiatrist he told me our feet get bigger/ wider as we age. Mine have!!!

Anyway, back on target:

The parts in orange from the V 2.0 proposal, are what we need to finalize. Its not much, but we do need to come to a consensus:

Belt- can it be inside to hold up the pants?
Boots: the laces (if any) would be covered. Would a lace up boot be allowed?
And the final bit, is using the term screen acccurate: can we/ should we use that vs. the heavy text desciption that the Legion currently favors.

Those three issues seem to be the last of the items to finalize. I just got a greenscreen system today, so better pictures are in order, once we make a determination.

Required:

* The belt is worn outside the pants. (Recommend removing. Some people might have to wear a belt underneath to keep their pants up, which might look worse than just wearing the belt as a belt.)
* Tan/Khaki/Coyote brown colored web belt with roll-pin or sliding bar style buckle.
* A British PLCE belt, which is worn inside out with loops showing is most accurate.
* A 2" (50mm)webbing belt with loops added is permissible.
* The belt contains 5 vertical loops, made from similar weave and color fabric, for mini-flares on both sides of the belt. There are 10 total mini-flare loops on the belt.
* The mini-flares are made of metal or other materials that, when finished, have a metallic silver or silver-grey appearance.
* The mini flares should feature ridges or barbs similar to push-in hose connectors.

Boots:

Required:

* The boots are an above the ankle black or dark brown boot with round toe and conservative heel. The boot is leather appearance, and normal grain pattern is acceptable. (These boots are shorter than Jackboots, which are described as mid-calf. Language closer to "ankle boots" will match seller descriptions better. Other standards list them as dark brown Combat Boots, which is the right height and another option we may want to use to match existing standards and allow for item reuse. I have also added dark brown as a color so that boots from other costumes can be reused.)
* The boots have two leather appearance front flaps starting at the top front of the boot, moving down to approximately mid-foot.
* Bottom flap of boot has screen-accurate buckle. The buckle's bail (wire piece) is attached with a loop of leather sewn into the flap. The box parts of the buckle are black and the wire parts are silver

I just realized that I was not paying enough attention to the name that we gave this costume. We probably have to rename it from "Alliance Duty Pilot" to "New Republic Duty Pilot". The Player only plays one mission as a Rebel Alliance pilot during the prologue. The Prologue is right after the destruction of Alderaan and you protect refugees from Alderaan from an attack of the Empire. Then the game jumps 4 years ahead. Vanguard Squadron is a Squadron of the New Republic and not the Rebel Alliance. The pilots with the flight tech gear show up when you become a member of Vanguard Squadron, so our pilot should be a New Republic pilot.

I tend to agree with the points above, which is the reason I wanted to bring them up.

I have mulled the name. I am not a game player so I dont know what era this is other than what i see for equipment, but to me this is a duty pilot. A duty pilot flies here and there, doing support work.

New Republic Duty Pilot? New Republic Staff Pilot? Im not married to any name at this point, so Im certainly open.

Patricia you can make a thin belt out of thin webbing and use a small buckle to hold your pants up. I made one for my RFT , and its hidden under my pistol belt.
