I was thinking maybe the player model could get some sort of aesthetic like the lumifiber from planetside 2

Right on it.

The hat and goggles could be a vanity of some kind, but here's what I did about the sort of tron-like lines:

I might have overdone it a bit.

Here's how to use it: rename the files "data/models/actors/player/mask.png" and "mask.dds" to something else, then add the file below to the folder they were in.

I just outlined everything in blue. It didn't take too long but I like the results.

Got a screenie of how it looks in game? Never mind.

I would be very interested in getting this on the default player skin, if done properly.

It will be optional, right? Personally I like the default better.

I can go and improve the custom one, but there might be people willing to do it that can do it better. It didn't take me very long to make, I just outlined some things in GIMP.

Maybe we could even add more skins.. scratched-up armor and full-body tattoos could be interesting vanity items.

By the way, I would really like a 3rd color to be added. Right now there are three colors (player color, team color, weapon color) but only two color slots.

I would really like, for example, main color to be team color, secondary color be player color and outline color be weapon color.
