Glad someone has started modeling it! Good looking out. Do3d gets to it pretty fast too!

SPOILERS NEW MANDO EPISODE Season 3 Ep 7
 
So... They did it again and changed the costume...
 

 

Hi everyone, here is some concept art and images from the recent bad batch episode featuring the imperial techs.  They have gunner style helmets with long gloves.  The cog is missing on the helmet compared to a standard gunner and the comm box might have different buttons. The jodhpurs have pockets also.

I think I found our photographer who will do the big group shot.

Hey everybody!  Bob mentioned this topic earlier today in his detachment newsletter, but the discussion for it has thus far been on the staff-only section of the forums, which isn't visible to the membership at large.  So, I would like to duplicate my comments here to solicit more feedback.
 
I would like to make three changes to the judging standards used by deployment officers to judge L2/L3 (Executor/Imperator) submissions.  I believe these changes will remove some subjectivity and ambiguity from the process.  These changes primarily affect Imperator (L3) submissions since the criteria for those is higher than they are for Executor (L2).
 
1. Judging done on CRL specifications only; no unwritten/subjective criteria
 
In the past, applicants have been judged on criteria that are not explicitly spelled out in the CRL, such as the presence of undyed vs. dyed edges on belts, edge grooves on belts, numbers of belt holes, jodhpur shape, tunic length, etc.  Since these are not spelled out in the CRL (or were not in the past; some may be now), there is no way for the applicant to prepare in advance unless they are "in the know", and there is no guarantee the unwritten criteria will be applied consistently across all applicants and different deployment officers.
 
Going forward, we will judge applicants solely based on what is explicitly stated in the CRL.  Some of the criteria I mentioned above have since been added into their respective CRLs (such as undyed belt edges on the ANH Staff Officer CRL) anyway.  If any deployment officers or other IOC staff believe we should be judging based on criteria that are not currently in the CRL, we will discuss them as CRL edits and get them added there (if the consensus goes that way) before they will be used to judge any L2/L3 submissions.
 
This does not mean that deployment officers are prevented from making recommendations or suggestions to applicants based on details that are present in reference material but aren't explicitly stated in the CRLs.  However, these recommendations will be in the form of suggestions only, and will not be used to deny L2/L3 applications.
 
 
2. Emulating an on-screen/canon officer is encouraged, but not required.
 
One of the current expectations for L3 submissions is that the applicant emulate a specific officer configuration (in other words a specific rank bar + code cylinder + belt box + glove + sidearm + any other accessory configuration).  Again, for "generic" CRLs, this isn't spelled out as a L3 requirement.  As long as the applicant's individual costume pieces meet CRL criteria and they are in a configuration that makes sense for that costume (for example: no OT rank bar with Rogue One belt boxes), we will not require that the applicant pick a specific officer configuration and emulate them.
 
We still encourage applicants to emulate a specific officer configuration since that's the easiest way to be really really accurate  and it's a way to show love to a favorite canon officer , but again, this is only if the applicant wants to.
 
 
3. One submission per CRL/version
 
In the past, multiple L3 submissions have been allowed on a single CRL, due to the requirement that applicants emulate an on-screen officer.  Some applicants were then able to rack up many L3 awards on a single costume by switching accessories (for example: submitting their line officer as Admiral Piett, then General Tagge, then Captain Needa). Instead, we propose to allow only one L2 and one L3 submission for an approved costume on a single discrete CRL.  
 
The exception to this will be for CRLs with version tabbing.  An applicant can submit one L2 and one L3 submission for each version of a CRL.  For example, Krennic has four version tabs, so someone could conceivably submit four L2 and four L3 applications if they have all the required options.

ahhhhh Celebrations.  We are coming up on the one year anniversary of when we used to go to places and spend time with people and do things.

I really think the pandemic will start to subside this year.  If that is the case we will start plans for something special for next year... and potentially for different locations around the world.

PMs sent thanks guys!

Update:
I made the 3d print files for the back pack:
Version 1:


 
Version 2:


 
I'm looking at picking version 1 for the CRL and will be 3d printing it soon.
Ordering a new pair of boots tomorrow to go with my wampa wear uniform.  I've also decided to not do a silicone mask and just shave the sides of my head.  Still working on the respirator and eyes, I'm going to being using spirit gum or pros aide to keep them affixed to my face.  

After doing a bit more research, I would stay as far away from this website as possible

That was what I thought.  I couldn't do much digging on my phone at work though.  Thanks @Trachta !!

It's a pretty neat book, written from the points of views of a family of lawman during The Clone Wars, Galactic Civil War, and sequel eras. There's also rumors that a female ISB agent with this look is going to be added as a playable class in Battlefront 2. So this would be more of a field agent kind of thing vs. the usual tunic/black pants look.

Forgive me if this was posted somewhere already, but I just learned of the existence of there being multiple agents using the same armor as Agent Kallus.  Would this create the possibility of creating a generic ISB agent (armored) CRL?

No but it also supports my statement

Ah kk, I imagine he made other officer jealous by having pockets lol.

It is known Motti had pockets and the CRL allows for it.

Nice find.
