_Anise_ Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I hate how Kubrow's look thats why I SPENT MONEY to make him look different. yes above is a kubrow! (not a charger) why can't I apply the same paid for cosmetics to my predasite (basically a reskinning kubrow) too ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaKitsune56 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Because Predasites (and their counterpart Vulpaphyla) are modular in nature, the varied compounds that let you "create" them affecting their overall model. MOAs, if you forgot (or didn't know), are also modular and have no cosmetics either. So, personally, I wouldn't expect cosmetics for them right away, if at all.

But to be fair, Predasites and Vulpas use the same mesh structure as Kubrows and Kavats so putting any Kubrow/Kavat Skin onto them overwriting the modular look we created shouldn't be a prob. I mean.. A velocipod skin for K-Drive was also perfectly doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Anise_ Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 I don't understand what is to gain by not letting people spend money on existing cosmetics for these pets ? even if "they aren't a reskin" (citation needed) there isn't anything stopping DE adding something that tells the game "use metus skin on this pet" making it load the appropriate rig mesh skin etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Velocipods were designed to be ridable with a similar function to K-drive since their introduction, so the implementation maybe was easier. Think predasites/vulpaphylas suffers the same issues that zaws and kitgun surpassed not long ago, since they were also unable to share skins with similar regular counterparts due the apparience being attached to some stats code-wise.

I think it's a matter of time we will see cosmetics working for Predasites/Vulpaphylas, just like zaws and kitguns can right now (in fact, some kitguns/zawa still have visual issues with some skins) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point. I just had the model in my head didn't think that it could mess with the modular item values. Since the item is build and the stats fixed their shouldn't be an issue to wrap another skin around, at least not as overwrite. But if that story goes back to zaws and kitguns I was thinking in the wrong direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we will see cosmetics unlocked for both Deimos companions in the future when they are able to "unlock" the stats from the visuals. I don't udnerstand why they needed to do it on first place, but thats the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also the detail that Velocipods aren't permanent rides and, as such, cannot be modded, where K-Drives are permanent rides (as well as moddable.) I wouldn't be surprised if the Velocipod skins are just tugged from the Velocipod files and modified for the K-Drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may not have any skin cosmetics, but they do have the behavior modules that you can buy. They can also use lich ephemeras too. DE will probably at some point make cosmetics specifically for the Deimos pets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
