Beast Companions and Skin Customisation

[(PSN)Claudija]

Firstly I'd like to ask about the issues with our Beast Companions and Corpus locked containers. On the E Gate map ( this area-https://sta.sh/017ix8rg5g8r   ) especially for Exterminate missions though this happens on almost all of them; my Kavat will try unlocking the containers in the snowed areas (has usually 7 lockers iirc) and whether she succeeds or not, she sinks into the floor then has to be respawned and rush back to me to try again. Even my Kubrow when she tried or Venari- both experienced this same issue. They also, bar Venari; require me to jump just close to the container yet not touch it (I use Master Thief so I always have unlock chances regardless of Companion) before the A.I attempts to open the container.

It also seems the Kubrow has a far harder levelling journey. No matter what she does, any of her precepts such as Stalk or Scavenge; Candra gets +20 ability points which seems to directly affect her XP. Seems fair except the same conditions on Vaquaera my Smeeta, are higher. Opening a box until she's level 5, is the same but it goes up to +40 afterwards and anytime Vaquaera does her Mischief or Charm skills it gets her +200 Ability points making her crazy easy to level even after she got polarised (she's on her fourth such polarisation now). Kubrow lovers are angry enough about us cat lovers yet in this case; rightfully so.

 

Next your skins. Some such as Valkyr's Bastet helm or Ember's default body frame; have areas we can't recolor which makes some color choices impossible as my dark red and black Valkyr still has these grey areas I can't color that spoils the finished look. One though glaringly stands out; Banshee's Immortal skin. Her body turns a lovely saturated style with rich color problem is that does not translate to any of her helms- they retain the strange new material effect you added to the Armory which means you end up with a richly-colored body, Syandana and Attachments; yet her helm looks weird and out of place:-

as you can see her helm (Blade of the Lotus), Navarr Prime Armor and Isabeau Syandana conform to your new rendering yet her Immortal Body skin just looks weird.

Valkyr's helms in-house, all have this issue too which stands out more with regular Valkyr yet recoloring her black outfit area to white her helm retains that grey area. Might seem trivial but with your recent efforts at improving our Energy colors it is odd you guys missed these out.

 

Last item:-

you have a couple of places like this one again E Gate, that have containers with locks we might open through Scavenge or Master Thief but that cannot reach the prompt to actually open it and get the items inside; why? You also need look at Ayatan Stars as twice now on E Gate a Cyan Star has flown off the side and rolled under the glass under the bridge and can't be collected.

 

Thank you for all your efforts though, the work and love is clearly showing 😊

Another bug too or A.I. issue- in some areas such as E Gate's chasm area we have three buildings: one has a sealed door accessed from outside, one a cave and one between. You access two of them through air ducts however the Beast Companion does not follow into air ducts unless forced or it teleports in which makes it a chore waiting on her to join me and if a dead end she remains at the entrance refusing or unable to enter.
