Outfits - 2013 -2015

In these images see some concepts I put together for reddit for an outfit overhaul, details in text below.

Main Outfit Page

Above image shows:

  • Option to display MOTD at log in.

  • Outfit Calender with link to events page.

  • Division option with link to division page.

  • Statistics with link to statistics page.

  • Allies list with link to alliance page.

  • Outfit Weapon Sale.

  • Outfit Uniform with link to outfit shop.

  • Option to automatically join an outfit squad on log in.

  • Outfit Level and Rating, with link to Outfit Progression at the bottom (based around official SOE Recruitment concept).

Member List

Note the following in the above image:

  • KDR

  • SPM

  • Specialism

  • Division

  • Service with the outfit

  • Option to edit recruitment options.

Edit Ranks and Permissions

Note the following:

  • Added option to create more ranks.

  • Additional options for suggested features.

  • Up to 3 requirements for ranks - various options for outfits that want to make certain ranks be granted (or removed) automatically based around various factors. Does not have to be used, hence the check boxes.

Outfit Browser

Note the following Changes:

  • Website shown, and searchable (simply a Yes/No option for players to filter out those with or without sites). Also a hyperlink to take the player directly to the website so they can immediately check it out and make a judgement/application.

  • Voice comms shown, and searchable. Could have the options; In Game, Teamspeak, Ventrillo, Mumble and Other. Also a button for out of game servers to allow players to join it directly, great for getting new or potential members up to speed and for coordination between outfits.

Recruitment Management

  • First notice the additions for the website and voice comms sever.

  • Second note the filters and display of the applicants statistics and preferences, allowing outfits to make quick decisions if they wish

  • Potentially requirements could be set via this screen, say they must have a certain BR, preferred class, etc.

Outfit Progression Screen

Other Improvements

I have a lot of ideas about improving outfits, but here are a few initial ideas:

  • Outfit statistics - kills, captures, time played, etc

  • More information on members - join date, BR, last activity, highest area of cert specialisation, etc

  • Option to show outfit members on the map

  • Outfit events calender

  • Outfit specialisation and customisation through certifications. Outfits would earn a fraction of their outfit members certification points (initial suggestion 1/100). These points could be spent on a number of different things including:

    • More outfit ranks – there was an option to add more which was broken in an early build but the button has disappeared in a patch. I was hoping to add a few more ranks for different roles in my outfit.

    • Outfit uniform - was mentioned many times before release but is not available yet. Would allow you to grant certain camouflage styles for use on your members vehicles, uniforms and weapons without them purchasing them themselves. Could be purchased with certs like the current outfit decals.

    • Outfit divisions - place players in separate divisions for ease of organisation.

    • Upload their own decal to be used by their members.

    • Outfit alliances

      • Inter outfit chat channel

      • Inter outfit officer chat channel

    • Outfit officer chat channel

    • Outfit facility upgrades (see images above)

    • Outfit specialities (reduction in resource cost for certain types - 10% for air/vehicles/infantry or 5% for all)

  • extra visibility to outfits using the scoreboard, territory capture and defense along with alerts.
